Thank you! :-)

Brilliant. Thanks! (will rate you 5 stars)

Hi there,

If you don't intend to use the custom background feature for each post, you can remove it. Open footer.php and change the following on lines 59-71 from this...

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	<?php if(is_single() || is_page()) {
	$data = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'key', true );
	if ($data[ 'bg' ]) { ?>
		jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo $data[ 'bg' ]; ?>", {speed: 300});
	<?php } else{ ?>
	jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo $background;?>", {speed: 300});
	<?php } } else { ?>
	jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo $background;?>", {speed: 300});
	<?php } ?>
});
</script>

...to this...

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function(){
	jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo $background;?>", {speed: 300});
});
</script>

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

For some reason, every page has this in the custom background field:

<b>Warning</b>: Illegal string offset 'bg' in <b>/home/content/p3pnexwpnas06_data01/91/2355891/html/wp-content/themes/wpnovelist/functions.php</b> on line <b>113</b>

I can't seem to figure out why it should be so. I have imported before applying the theme, to no avail.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Going through all 400 is not really an option.

Hi there,

Looking at your source code, it appears you might have some text/content in the custom background field for your posts. Sometimes during the import process, WordPress doesn't know how to handle custom fields like that.

Make sure there's nothing in the custom background field for your posts (including spaces) and check to see if that helps.

Best,

Chris

My apologies, I have this mostly sorted now. But I only have a BG on my index page, not my individual posts. As I have imported many posts I can't go to each an put in a custom one. Why might the default not be working?

Just to clarify, I have gone to Customize, but just get the box standard ones that come with WP, not any additional ones.

Just installed your theme (via zip upload on WP dashboard) on my clean install of WP. It is roughly working, but none of the backgrounds show up--I get grey dots instead (www.scissorsandpaste.net) I try to use the standard customisation WP function and can get a greyed out version of the image by uploading it directly, but only on the homepage. Please help. The files all seem to be there!
