Blog background has turned black
-
I just checked my blog and the background has turned black. It’s supposed to be white. Can you tell me why this has happened and what I can do about it?
Thanks for your help,Kimberly Willard

Kimberly, the same thing happened with my blog post today, am waiting for response from WordPress.

Could you check to see if your Appearance → Theme Options page has the right setting and pres the Save Options button there?
We’ll also look into what may be causing the trouble.
-
I’ve never touched the Theme Options — I’m not on the paid custom CSS/theme plan.
So looking at it, it’s difficult to tell if it’s set properly or not.
-
We’re looking into this now. But you can probably fix it immediately in your blog by going to Appearance → Theme Options, checking to make sure the Light option is selected for the color scheme, and pressing the Save Options button.
-
From what I can tell, whatever color settings that were in place for the last 3 years (background, sidebar background, text background) have all changed without me (sole admin) touching it.
I’ve fixed it so that it’s legible again.
Now, the question is: How do I get all my original colors back?
-
They are still wrong. It’s because I made the temporary fix to make it legible.
What should I do? (I’m guessing my Export backups don’t have the color settings in them.)
-
@wadekwon, I don’t think we have an backup for just theme option settings and you’re right that they wouldn’t have been saved in a content backup using Tools → Export.
I did look at http://birminghamblogging.com/ and the colors look good to me. Do they not look right to you? Here is what I see: http://d.pr/B2Vh
Can you make sure you have included the “#” symbol at the beginning of the color codes on your Appearance → Theme Options page?
Can I help you update the colors to something new that will work or help you approximate what the old colors were if they’re not fixed by updating the “#” symbol in your theme options page?
-
I think I was just trying to remember if the background color alone was tweaked, or if the sidebar color was tweaked too (it wasn’t).
Thank God for Google cache, because I think I can fix the background color based on this.
-
You must have fixed it before I checked it! Sorry for the trouble the bug caused for you!
