 * Hi,
 * I have the latest version of wordpress with the Prophoto2 (2.1) theme.
 * I keep getting this error message when trying to upload a background image:
 * **_String (11) “background.png” Something went wrong._**
 *  The image is a small 20 kb .png file. I have also tried it as a .jpg, and a .
   gif to see if that makes a difference, but I still received the same error message.
 * I had a background uploaded for about a year, then I decided to change it recently,
   and experienced this error message.
 * Any idea what might fix this?
 * Thank you for any help at all!!!

 * I just figured this out myself after getting the same error over and over again.
   You need to download a plugin from the Prophoto site in order for the older version
   of Prophoto to be compatible with the latest wordpress update.
