    Hey, well background size can vary as there are so many screen sizes.

    You have it set to FullScreen. Your image size is 400 x 255 right?

    Do you have CENTERED enabled?

    I checked it on my droid Razor and I can see the wood floor on it. Looks cool...

    Hey, ya after I said that I realized you cannot PM on this board! Grrrr

    I can give you instructions here. I use my FTP client (mine is CuteFTP 8.0 Pro to do most of my

    modifications, but if yours won't allow file editing then you can use your cpanel file manager.

    1.Login to your cpanel

    2. Find the icon File Manager, then click on it.

    NOTE: Before entering your file manager, cPanel pops up a message asking you where you would like to go within  your file structure. At the bottom of the radio buttons, you will see a checkbox asking you if you'd like to view hidden files. Check that box before entering your file manager and you will see the .htaccess file.

    3.When you see the pop-up box, check the hidden file box at the bottom, and make sure above that is checked WebRoot (public_html/www) then click go

    4. You should see all the files on the right hand side.

    5. Highlight the file .htaccess by clicking on it once. Now lets save that file to your computer in case you do something wrong. While its still highlighted at the top you will see a DOWNLOAD icon, so click on that and save it somewhere you'll remember.

    6. After you saved the file, then at the top of the window click EDIT.

    7. Now in that file you should see this or something similar-

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    Add this line under the rewrite line and before ADDsomething or other:  AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

    8. It should look something like this-

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    Theres more in the file but you get the idea. So go ahead and click on SAVE CHANGES at the top right.

    Your done!

    Go and refresh your sites admin panel, and go back to plugins and click on activate or re-install it if its not there!

    The backgound manager allows to upload sets of images, pick what pages/posts/categories, etc. Choose placement, use as normal size or full screen, tile, fix or scroll, choose background color, etc. Its pretty cool.

    I'm playing with it now!

    Robert

    P.S. Did I mention you can make it clickable? If you upload a set of images it will rotate through them.

    Hey,

    You can add the following line of code to your .htaccess: AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

    You should find that file in the /pubic_html directory

    Add the code below this code-

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

    If your not sure how to do this I can help you further, but PM me!

    Hey!

    This plugin should work for you. If you get a error stating your version of php is too low, then I can give the fix my host gave me. Its easy... Ihad php 5.2 and needed 5.3 or higher.

    Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/background-manager/

    Tony, I'm not sure how you could get a google profile picture there, except by going to Gravatar and adding your admin email, confirming the email, then uploading a picture, and then associating the email with that pic.

    Is the email you have assigned to the user you post with added to Grvatar? If it isn't then the gravatar won't show up in the author bio.

    Robert

    P.S. Sorry it took so long to reply back. I'm just getting over the Flu! :-/

    Hey Tony,

     

    Try looking under you User Profile. Scroll down and you should see something that says Author Archive settings-

    Author Box-

    Enable Author Box on this User's Posts?
    Enable Author Box on this User's Archives?

    Hope this helps!
