 * 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

 * Hi michebel
 * simply add wp-admin/ to the end of your blog url to get [http://www.michebelzhollywood.com/wp-admin/](http://www.michebelzhollywood.com/wp-admin/)
   and this will bring you either to the password gate, or if your already logged
   it will take you to your dashboard.

 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/):
    Thanks for
   that link, but it doesnt shed much light on the question…

 * Hi Eric
 * apologies for the long delay in replying; the other plugins I have activated 
   are: MiniMeta Widget and Widget Logic.
 * If I remember correctly I did try deactivating these and trying the archive update
   again but with no change in the results…
 * Many thanks

 * Hi esmi
 * Yes it does
 * As I say the only change I can think of between it being and not being there 
   is the changes to the child function file, which change the height of the header
   image….
 * Other wise Ive not done much else structurally code-wise since 3.x was installed…
 * The theme Im using is a custom child theme of the TwentyTenHTML5 theme
    The child
   theme only adds 4 files:
    - front one column page template.php
    - header.php
    - functions.php
    - styles.css
 * Ive tried switching to several different themes with no effect, all of which 
   are high grade themes (thematic, twentytenhtml5, etc) and all call wp-footer….
   
   Is there a place it can be turned on and off in the cp? I may have done this 
   and not remember… 🙂

 * So I grabbed the entire function (twentyten_setup()) from the functions file 
   of the parent theme and put it into a new, empty, functions.php file in my child
   theme.
 * I changed the values I required changing and added `<?php` before the function
   and `?>` after the function, with my new size header also upload this worked 
   nicely.
 * I wonder is this the correct method? Copying down the entire setup function to
   change one image dimension seems a bit much??
    thanks
