That worked!
You’re a wizzard alchymyth. I’ve been on many forums in the last few weeks and I always explicitly benefit from your feedback on people’s posts.
Now I’m tempted to ask you about increasing the size of the header picture and fitting it in my header bar, and how to change the background hover of the menu links.. but I I’m aware that it’s not relevant to this post… 🙂

I’ll need a bit of time to review all that you wrote, as I’m still adjusting to all the coding.
That line I inserted because I wanted to have different background colors for different pages, as suggested on this forum: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-background-color-on-each-page?replies=14

I’ll try bringing back the old code and see if fixes things.
Thanks!

I just activated the regular theme and it looks like it works fine.
By the way, I’m about to past the code, and I don’t see the “Code” button anywhere in my editor.
Do I need to put backticks at ever line? Or do I just enclose the 30 or so lines of code with a backtick at the very beginning and at the very end?

Thanks for the response alchymyth,
I am somewhat new to coding in wordpress, which file would that class be in?
So far, I’ve created child pages for: footer, header, page, sidebar and style.
And to my knowledge those are the only ones that I’ve done changes on, and I can’t find the body_class in any of them.
Again, any feedback appreciated!
