Background does not work after WP upgrade to 3.3

[Jos Deroo]

Hi,

Just upgraded WordPress to 3.3. Now the background slideshow does not work anymore. In fact, not even a background image seems to work.

Is there a solution to this problem ?

Regards,
Jos

Same problem, I just bought the annual suscription, loaded the Foxy theme on a WordPress 3.3 and no background images appear.

Something I should do?

Thank you,

Virgilio

Here is a quick fix to the background bug in the Foxy theme:

1. Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose custom-js.php
3. Look for this spot:
   
   add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘organizedthemes_custom_js_hook’);
   
4. And replace it with this:
   
   add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘organizedthemes_custom_js_hook’, 20 );
   
5. Save your changes

If you run into any trouble let me know. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you guys. I tried a new notification plugin for new posts and it didn’t work at all.

I’ve also uploaded an update to the theme that includes this fix.

Thank you very much Bill, it worked pretty good!

I’m sorry but that didn’t work for me.

Changed the permissions on that file through Dreamweaver to 666, changed the file like you said. When I reload the pages, I don’t get anything on the background except for the little spinning wheel that indicates I’ve gotta wait…

How does the update to the theme work ?

Sorry for all the questions but I am kinda Noob to all this WordPress.

BTW I did revert to the previous version and that still works fine.

Greets,
Jos

If you guys would send me a link to your sites at support@oranizedthemes.com, I’ll be glad to take a closer look for you.

There is another way you can edit this.

1. Go to the Appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose functions.php and look for this line:
   include(TEMPLATEPATH.”/includes/custom-js.php”);
3. Delete that line and save your changes.
4. Next open up footer.php
5. Delete everything in this file and replace it with the code below
   
6. Save your changes.

Next clear your browser’s cache and then refresh your site. If you don’t see the background now, let me know.

Not to make another topic about background:

When the browsers window is sized (also iPad is rotated) – background image gets malformed/distorted.

Is there any solution?

BR,

Antons

[Bill Robbins]

Good question. Switching between layouts, especially with some image sizes, stretches the background script about as far as it can go. At this moment, what’s in the theme is the best option available. If there is an update to the script that can make it beter, I’ll definitely include it in an update.
