Thanks so much, Johnna!
I added this to the style.css sheet, but it had no effect. I’m pretty sure it’s functions.php in my child theme that’s ripping out the background. It has very little code–here’s all of the code:
<?php
add_filter( 'body_class', 'mh_remove_body_classes' , 50 );
function mh_remove_body_classes() {
remove_filter( 'body_class', 'twentyeleven_body_classes' );
}
I’m no good with .php–I simply pulled this from another WP forum that gave it as suggested code for a basic child theme.
If I remove functions.php, all of my formatting comes back wonderfully…however, my right sidebar disappears in single pages and posts. I would give up my background image to save the sidebar, but I’d like it if I could keep it! ??
