 * Hi i am using a 3.7.4 wordpress version on a website i run, with an old theme
   i personally hacked.
    The problem is that with the new versions of wordpress 
   I am no more able to set the custom background feature. In functions.php i inserted
   these lines:
 *     ```
       global $wp_version;
       if ( version_compare( $wp_version, '
       ```
   
 * 3.4′, ‘>=’ ) ) {
    add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’ ); } else { add_custom_background(
   $args );
 * But they don’t fix the problem.
    Can anyone help?
