    Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue before...

    I had a background image but the client decided against using it. So I removedĀ  it from the background and deleted from media. I changed the background to color #ccc. But it's staying white (no color).

    Here's where I'm using it... http://www.nationwideindustrialsupply.com/blog/

    In your CSS find the body selector. Currently it reads:

    body {
    font-weight: 300;
    }

    Change it so that it reads:

    body {
    font-weight: 300;
    background-color: #ccc;
    }

    Thanks - but, if my client decides to use a background image, will this over-ride the changes made in the Manage Themes / Header?

    Hi Team,

    I'm having the same issue too. Added the code as mentioned, but it works only when W3 Total Cache is turned off. When I turn the plugin on again, the background color disappears.

    Could you please advise.

    Regards,

    Eddie
