[SOLVED] Disappearing background images after upgrade
 

Hello all,

I recently upgraded my Atahualpa theme to version 3.7.24 and my header image, background image in the body and search bar (side menu) disappeared. I was able to put back the header image, but I was unable to put back the background image in the body and the image in the search bar. Did anyone else get this problem ? How can I resolve it ?

go to teh header/center and footer otions and hit the green save button and see what that does

if it doesn't help, then you need to provide more info

Hi Juggledad.

Hitting the green save button didn't solve the problem. What additional info do you need?

1) what is the url?

2) where were the images stored?

If they were in the theme folder, the automatic upgrade would have deleted them when it did the upgrade - there is an option (that was added several versions ago) to prevent this by allowing you to store the images in a seperate folder in wp-content see ATO->Image Location for instructions.

This is the link to my website:

http://homsany.ca/

My images were stored in:

wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/

My images are still stored in the same folder. I was able to put back up the image in the body, but I am not able to put up again the image in the side bar (the one that is bordered by a dotted line with a search bar at the top.) Do you know how to solve this problem?

1) what do you have set at ATO->Body, Text & Links->Body Style
2) what do you have set at ATO->Style & configure LAYOUT->Layout Container Style
3) why?

1)

font-family: breughel;
font-size: 0.8em;
color: black;
background: url(wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/seamlesstexture19_1200.jpg);

2)

padding: 0;
background: url(wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/otr_ad_background.jpg);

3) otr_ad_background.jpg is the picture I would like to use for the sidebar. I tried using it for other parts of my website but regardless of where I try to use it, it appears blank or doesn't appear at all.

I'm confused, I see the image in the sidebar, but the gray paper image (seamlesstexture19_1200.jpg) is not showing at all - well it is, but it is covered by the image you have specified in the 'Layout Container Style' option

I solved the problem.

I tried using the otr_ad_background.jpg background image elsewhere and it wasn't being displayed (perhaps the file was corrupt?:confused:) so I looked for a new picture I could use. I entered the new image in ATO->Sidebars and Widgets->RIGHT sidebar style; and there was no overlap. I got the effect I was looking for.

Thanks for all your help.:)
