OK on the back of my thought at the end of the last post I found wp-admin/custom-background.php and its take_action() function.

A) is it possible to override this in a child theme like manner, or will I need to actually alter this file?
B) if I need to alter the file, can I safely add a new if(){…} to the function just before $this->updated = true; and add the code for displaying it something like:

<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><?php _e( 'Vertical Position' ); ?></th>
<td><fieldset><legend class="screen-reader-text"><span><?php _e( 'Background Vertical Position' ); ?></span></legend>
<label>
<input name="background-vertical-position" type="radio" value="top"<?php checked('top', get_theme_mod('background_vertical_position', 'left')); ?> />
<?php _e('Top') ?>
</label>
<label>
<input name="background-vertical-position" type="radio" value="middle"<?php checked('middle', get_theme_mod('background_vertical_position', 'left')); ?> />
<?php _e('Middle') ?>
</label>
<label>
<input name="background-vertical-position" type="radio" value="bottom"<?php checked('bottom', get_theme_mod('background_vertical_position', 'left')); ?> />
<?php _e('Bottom') ?>
</label>
</fieldset></td>
</tr>

Prob not that easy, am pretty n00b at PHP though, only learning as I go, just enough to get by…
Thanks for any help

Thanks Eric its appreciated

My hosting package doesnt support the MySQL and PHP requirements, but I need the security of a more recent install…

Also the update details page notes that updates should never be applied over more then two versions, i.e. I can update to the next version or the one after directly but that I shouldnt update to a third version without updating to the first or second one first. As my version 3.0.4 is about 7 or 8 versions behind 3.2.1 I would still need to update to an older version first…

@keesiemeijer:
Thanks for that link, but it doesnt shed much light on the question…

Hi esmi many thanks for your reply, that clears things up a bit 🙂

Oh God I am such an idiot!!

Just found the option, turned off, in user control!!

My memory has been slowly turning to mush recently…

Thanks for your help anyway esmi 🙂
