 * Hi
 * I have this simple line of code in a custom.php file.
    I want to remove the BG
   image ‘dots.png’ So I deleted the entire url and was left with just.. html body{
   background: #ffffff } Then I hit the ‘Update File’ button in the WP editor, the
   entire url reappeared. How can i remove this BG image? Thanks
 * <?php header(‘Content-type: text/css’); ?>/* Custom Styles
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………*/
 *  html body { background: #ffffff url(‘../images/layout/small_dots.png’) repeat
   left top; }

 * Are you using a caching plugin?
 * What happens if you deactivate _all_ plugins?

 * No Caching plugins. Just a statcounter plugin.
    I disabled it, and the same problem
   exists. Thanks Jose

 * Check if custom.php file is writable or not. if not, make it writable and then
   try again.
