Wordpress in black..

[Melodican]

Ok, I'll come clean, I'm a total noob.

I'm working on my blog - Glen Kirkham using wordpress and for some reason the background has started displaying as white when the template was originally in black. I've tried as many alterations as I can think of and can't seem to get it back to black

Heres my CSS:

/*
Theme Name: Black Bible
Description: Dark, but nice Theme
Version: 1.0

*/
<meta name="verify-v1" content="Kdz+uMkhdImVZ3V3F250a5JmhzxkPryCQyY04APyW W4=" />

Any help you guys can give is thoroughly appreciated :-)

Thanks

Well, it looks like your CSS Stylesheet is intact, so I am thinking it could be a plugin that is interfering.

I would try deactivating your plugins and see if that fixes the problem. If so, reactivate the plugins 1 by 1 and see which one caused the issue.

That is all I can think of off the top of my head without diving in to everything else.

[Melodican]

Hey Greg, thanks for your help... I've uninstalled every plug but I'm still having the same issue !?

hmmmm

[john_kennedy]

Did you try and restore the original CSS file? You can open your copy on your computer in Notepad and then copy that into the Theme editor in your admin area.

I think I might see the problem. You have your Google verify link in there. Remove that line and see if that clears it up.

Did what John suggest work?

[Melodican]

Hey guys thanks for the help... I worked out what it was. The line:

Author URI: Das Designers Heaven - Blog
*/
<meta name="verify-v1" content="Kdz+uMkhdImVZ3V3F250a5JmhzxkPryCQyY04APyW W4=" />

The meta data from googles analytics was destroying my background for some reason

Cheers all

[Melodican]

Hey thanks... I was one step behind... Where do i need to put that line of code on my WP dashboard ??

That goes into your header.php file.
