    Found a solution that worked for me — hope it might help someone else.
    I found this blog on creating custom templates:
    https://wptheming.com/2010/03/custom-page-templates-thematic/

    I then followed a thread called “Dynamic body classes” to this blog article: https://wptheming.com/2009/12/dynamic-body-classes-wordpress-styling/

    I followed the “Not Using Thematic?” section in this article and downloaded the theme, then copied the theme’s funtion.php file into mine. (follow the directions in the article)

    I created the templates I desired, one for each background image I wished to use.

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Full Page
    */
    ?>

    Then I added these lines to my stylesheet for each of my template names and changed the photo references:

    }

    .page-template-page_maroon-php {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    background: url(images/bg_maroon.jpg) center no-repeat #c7869e;
    font: normal 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #c7869e;
    }

    Lastly, I entered this text (after head tag) into my header.php file to call in each template and background:

    <body class=”<?php thematic_body_class() ?>”>
    <?php if (is_page_template(‘page_maroon.php’)){
    echo “”;}
    elseif (is_page_template(‘page_green.php’)){
    echo “”;}
    elseif (is_page_template(‘page_gray.php’)){
    echo “”;}
    elseif (is_page_template(‘page_black.php’)){
    echo “”;}
    else{
    echo “body”;
    }?>

    I had a similar problem.
    Time on my blog was 4 hours ahead of our timezone.
    Most of the forums I read indicated the problem was with my host and the php.ini file. I contacted my host (bluehost) and they gave me directions on changing the timezone in the .ini file. (cpanel–file manager–(public_html) folder–change the line date.timezone = “America/New_York”;
    Only nothing changed.

    My host said they tested my php.ini file and it was correct, so that something was wrong in my WP installation.

    I also tried the WP admin general settings by changing the UTC to UTC-5 (my timezone) as well as changing the city several times. Nothing changed the UTC time no matter what settings I chose.

    So I searched under forums on UTC and found someone who said they solved their time problem by adding this code to their index.php file.
    <?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); ?>

    I tried adding it to the index.php, but it didn’t work. However, I then tried adding it to my header.php, and that did work.

    <?php date_default_timezone_set(‘America/New_York’); ?>

    I tried inserting this code into my index.php, but it did not work. Still 4 hours ahead of time. (Probably because I’m modifying a theme I downloaded.)

    So I added it to my header.php and that did work.

    I am still getting error messages–is this correct?

    Here is the code (header.php) from line 1 up to the style.
