what version of Atahualpa and WP?
What is the url?
Where did you upload the header to?
do you have '%image' as one of the options in ato->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Configure Header Area
How big is your image (height and width)?

Hi here are the answers to your questions...
Ata version 3.4.6
wp 2.9.2
this is the image i uploaded

http://www.bestbirthcontrol.org/wp-c...sed4-final.jpg

........org/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/header-Revised4-final.jpg

size 1000x130

URL http://www.bestbirthcontrol.org/

i thought i uploaded it to the correct folder, see above i used a plugin to upload the file, but was uploaded correctly

do you have '%image' as one of the options in ato->Style & edit HEADER AREA->Configure Header Area
I think it is all on the default.. i just changed a text font size.
and beside i really don't know what it means.. sorry
thanks

check to see if you have two versions of teh theme installed, one in a folder called 'atahualpa' and one in a folder called 'atahualpa346'

you are currently using the theme in the 'atahualpa346' folder, so you image should go in themes/atahualpa346/images/header, but you have put it in themes/atahualpa/images/header.

so move it to themes/atahualpa346/images/header and remove teh existing three images in that folder and you should be set.

Thanks Juggledad.. unfortunately i really only have some experience using the WP dashboard.. and
any manipulating that needs to be done with files.. uploading.. etc at cpanel i presume.. i am at a loss.
i will save your message and try and outsource this task..
unless you have any ideas..
thanks the eternal..:confused:...me

Go to dashboard->settings->themes and see if there are TWO Atahualpa selections. One should be for version 3.4.6, select that one and go look at the page and see if you get the image. If they are both for 3.4.6, try one, then try the other

nope only saw the one. 3.4.6 but did notice this message see below.. more :confused::confused:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
atahualpa Stylesheet is missing.

what do ya think?

I think you attempted to load the theme via the wordpress automatic install and it failed, then you manually uploaded it as atahualpa346.

Then you ftp'd the images to the atahualpa/images/header folder and now you need to ftp it to the atahualpa346/images/header folder and delete the images that are there

dirtroad Apr 14, 2010 02:12 PM

okay i will save this message and find some to hire to to that.. thanks for clarifying and seeing where the problem is.
as i said fpt.. file stuff is not me strong suit:) yes i did upload it with the WP automatic upload plugin.. thought when i found this plugin . it was the answer to my issues of what I DON"T KNOW!
sign me..:confused: as always

actually the first time i uploaded it.. it said it was successful.. and i didn't go back and do anything manually
what about if i just go and upload the file again.. but make sure it goes into that folder atahualpa346??
