    Open header.php and locate your <body> tag. Change this value to <body <?php body_class(''); ?>>

    It’s a CSS issue, the background https://glorytotheking.net/wp-content/themes/GTK2/images/page_t.jpg isn’t being picked up.

    I’ve only had one cup of coffee, but try adding this to the bottom of wp-content/themes/GTK2/style.css:

    body .home
{
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0;
  color: #0000A0;
  background-color: #D4CCAA;
  background-image: url('images/page_t.jpg');
  background-repeat: repeat;
  background-attachment: scroll;
  background-position: top left;
}

    See if that bring it back. Leave out the leading body if that doesn’t work.

    Edit: Oh. home only exists on the home page and not the rest. That may not work.

    It got rid of the ugly black on the home page, but still did not give me the background image (which is basically the same as the background of the header.) And you’re right – on the other pages it did nothing.

    I have half a dozen other WP blogs that need updating, but I’m not game to do so till I get this sorted. One ugly site is enough for anyone!!

    BTW, thanks to both of you for your efforts to help.

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to let you know I fixed the problem. I got suspicious when I updated my other sites with no damage to the themes, so I reinstalled WP3.3 on the glorytotheking.com site via FTP. Hey presto! I got my pretty site back.

    I recently upgraded to version 3.3 on Dec 20th and when the post I scheduled to be published the next day (Dec 21)hit, I noticed that my new post and the previous post are running into each other – http//www.claimingkin.com. So far, I have been able to upgrade versions without any problems with my theme . . . until now.

    I have downgraded back to the last version I had installed (3.2.1) as well as restored my blog’s database from the backup I did before the upgrade. I have gone so far as to delete the old post and rewrite it again. Still, this did not fix my issue and now I wonder if the upgrade has changed something in my theme’s code. I am using the theme – Keep It Simple by Theme Lab and Styleshout.com. I have sent a message to that design team, but with Christmas and New Years celebrations going on, I have not received a response regarding my issue.

    So can anyone from this forum, offer some sage advice, troubleshooting techniques, and/or code that I can use to fix my issues with my post running together?

    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!
