What It Does

This plugin allows users to set a custom background on a per-post basis. It hooks into the WordPress custom background theme feature and overwrites the values on single post views if the post has a custom background.

The plugin creates a custom meta box on the edit post screen. From there, you can select a custom color and/or image. If you choose an image, additional options for how the image appears on the site will be presented.

To use this plugin, your theme must support the core WordPress implementation of the Custom Backgrounds theme feature.

FAQ

I’ve always been interested in art direction on blogs. This is just one tool of many that I’m creating and making available via my Web site for making it easier for users to take more control over their styles on a per-post basis.

Your theme must support the Custom Backgrounds feature for this plugin to work.

If you’re a theme author, consider adding support for this if you can make it fit in with your design. The following is the basic code, but check out the above link.

add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );
