 I find after updating to 3.7.1, that stretching background images to full
 width, as I have done on at least two of my sites, has been disabled, no
 matter whether I do it with a plugin or with HTML/CSS. The background
 images now just display at their original size, which does not fill the
 page.   The plugin I had been using to do the stretch has now failed with
 the update to 3.7.1, so I tried two other plugins designed to do it, and
 they now fail too.  Those three plugins are described here -
 http://www.midtnmusic.com/how-to-set-a-full-screen-resizable-background-
 image-in-wordpress/  In some cases, the plugin is disabled from even
 allowing the upload of a background image.  One of the authors has thrown
 up his hands and announced he is abandoning the effort.

 I tried turning to coding to stretch my backgrounds, following
 instructions at http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/
 but those results are even worse, now doing very strange broken things to
 my backgrounds.

 It would be very nice if WordPress just inherently offered to stretch the
 background to full width, and not just Tile / No Tile - Left, Center,
 Right.  But I would be happy if WordPress just simply re-enabled our work-
 arounds.

 You can see my efforts on my sites here: http://SunWebStudio.com & here:

 Thank you for your consideration.
