    That definitely worked. Thanks so much for your help!

    My apologies I get weird about sharing unfinished work 🙂 I haven’t done this in a long time…

    http://www.drrd.ca/

    I set things back and activated firebug.

    After doing a combination of view source and loading firebug it looks like the theme is dumping a ton of CSS onto a single line (33) from within the index.php page. Firebug chose to focus on the background property:

    body {
    background: url("http://www.drrd.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/backgroundtexture2.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 #2B1302; }

    When I changed it in the firebug console it works:

    body {
    background: url("http://www.drrd.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/backgroundtexture2.jpg") no-repeat fixed 0 0 #2B1302; }

    So I guess I just have to find this bit of code and manually edit it…

    WPyogi,

    Sorry my bad I meant “property”.

    The problem is that the CSS I’m looking for does not exist in style.css. I don’t know where it’s coming from. It could just be my being a theme newb but one would think it would actually use the main stylesheet. Otherwise what’s it for?

    I tried removing the background image from within the dashboard and injecting the CSS code in manually using the provided link as guidance to make sure I did it right:

    body{
	background-image:url('http://path/to/image/that/i/know/actually/works/background.jpg');
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:center top;
	background-attachment:fixed;
}

    Upon refreshing the page, the image does not appear.

    Am I doing it wrong?

    My suggestion is based on actual code editing, but since you can’t log in at all I suspect something has gone horribly wrong.

    You may want to restore from a recent backup from before the plugin was installed. Then contact the plugin developer, or pay their support forum a visit to see why their code knocked your whole blog offline…

    Whatever is on line 522, look up a few lines and makes sure you terminated the new line of code with a semi-colon.

    Have a look here:

    1. $var1 = 0;
2. $var2 = 1
3. $var3 = 2;

    In the above example, Line 2 needs a semi-colon, or an “unexpected T_VARIABLE” error will appear and the whole thing will fail.
