Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Does the Athualpa theme folder have a version number, like atahualpa377? If so, that needs to be part of the link to the image too.

No, there's no numbers. Everything is exactly as I've written it.

If I go to www.unbecomingmymother.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/logo.gif I see the image that is there so that shows the path is OK.

If I go to www.unbecomingmymother.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ChevronLtGrey.jpg I see nothing.

This indicates either the ChevronLtGrey.jpg is not in the folder, is spelled differently, has different upper or lower case letters, or doesn't have the proper rights.

What do you mean by "doesn't have the proper rights"?

With FTP you can set who can see a folder or file. This is the least likely cause of your issue however.

If you look at the properties of the image with an FTP client you will see what the permissions for the file are.

I've clicked on the "change permissions" option of the background image I'm trying to load, and the file is listed as: /public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ChevronLtGrey.jpg and the permissions are: Read: = User, Group, World Write: = User Execute: =(none selected)
Permission values are: 6, 4, 4

I'll bet this is some kind of naming issue. I notice that you have your header image named with spaces:
Code:
http://www.unbecomingmymother.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/Unbecoming My Mother.jpg
. Web servers don't like that, so they add %20 in the spaces when the page is rendered in the browser.

Ok, I feel like a total idiot because I obviously uploaded my header image and switched it from the standard one, but I can't find it anymore. I was sure I deleted the other 3 headers that came standard with the theme, but it appears that those standard three are back there in the Header folder, and the one I uploaded has disappeared. I'm not sure what's going on. The other thing is that I have no idea what section I even added the header code to in the Atahualpa theme settings. Can someone remind me so I can check? I don't think I would have named a file with spaces in it.

It looks like you have it coded to be a background image for body of the site. Where do you want it to show?

Ok, so it appears I was uploading my background image to the wrong folder.

I originally uploaded it to: public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/

But should have uploaded it here: public_html/unbecomingmymother.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images

And yes, I did also do something out of the ordinary and name my header image with spaces in it. Should I delete it and upload one without spaces, or is it fine since it's showing already?
