Possibly due to a CSS error. Are you really using WP3.5.1? That’s way old and a huge security risk.
Could cause compatibility issues too – if the theme you are using is more current.
Ok now updated to latest version 4.1.1 – but still has the background missing..

Looks like the theme is quite outdated? If you’ve modified any theme files, your changes will be overwritten, so don’t update without backing up your site.
How was the background set? In theme options or custom CSS or??
Yeah in the normal theme options / customise.
Just uploaded the “background.jpg” file.
And what happens if you try to do it now? If it doesn’t work, try deactivating your plugins to see if any are causing that.
If not, leave them off and switch to a default theme and see if setting the background works there.
If i change “body.custom-background” to “body” it works fine..
So looks like the class “custom-background” has not been applied to the body tag?
body.custom-background { background-color: #2289d8; background-image: url(‘http://www.oceanart.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/background.jpg’); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center; background-attachment: fixed; }
Not sure why this would suddenly stop working? Thanks in advance.
Yes spot on it was one of the plugins called “Contact Form 7” that was breaking the background upload and background CSS.
Very odd! I am now on the search for a new Form Plugin! Thanks for all your help. Hugely appreciated.
Wow, yeah, that’s surprising to me too – as that’s a very widely used plugin and well put together.
