 * After setting the background image to link, it won’t turn into one.
 * I read the forums and saw the developer version resolves this in some instances,
   but it didn’t make a difference on my end. I also tried both full screen and 
   normal mode, but still no luck.

 * Hi!
 * It’s because the theme’s elements are covering the background. Try adding the
   following to the active Image Set’s “Custom Stylesheet” field:
 *     ```
       div#whitewrap {
         width: 1018px;
         margin: 0 auto;
         float: none;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks so much! That worked great.
 * But the link won’t open in a new window (even though the option is checked in
   the settings).
 * Any ideas?

 * I also just noticed the background color element is also clickable. Is it possible
   to have just the image clickable? It’s not a huge issue, but that would be ideal.

 * Glad it worked 🙂
 * Regarding the link not opening in a new window, this is a known bug. A fix for
   it will be released soon, most likely this weekend.
 * As for the background color also being clickable, that is a limitation of Background
   Manager, unfortunately.

 * Thanks for the quick reply. Love your plugin. I’ve been trying to make a clickable
   background in JavaScript and CSS for months, but couldn’t get what I was looking
   for. You came to the rescue! 🙂
