The files are uploaded into wp-content/uploads but I cant use any of them and set the background image.
This is my current htaccess since I installed WordPress in October 2014. I am running WordPress off IIS 7. I have wordpress installed in my root folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]

Sorry… I mean how in the THEME are you setting it? Like I use the theme customizer 🙂
What errors are you getting? Understand, please, that ‘not working’ is about the most useless explanation for someone to get 🙂 I can’t see what that means. It’s like telling the doctor ‘I hurt’ but not saying where, or when you do what.

I try setting it up through Appearance >> Customize or Background. I go ahead and upload a picture and it shows up the media library. When I try to select the image to set as my background, I notice the image has a broken link. The image is in the media library, but I can’t set it as my background.

Excellent. What’s the broken link? Can you copy it and paste it here for us?

Hey, I figured out the problem.
It turned out that the files that are being uploaded through WordPress into the IIS directory, the files were having permission issues. It was giving an access denied and I wasn’t able to change the permissions. I got someone to change and give full access for all the files/images that are uploaded through WordPress.
I was able to set the background images without any problems once the images in wp-content/uploads/ were changed.
