If your header images don't show check

• if the file names have spaces or special characters (they should NOT)
• if there's a space somewhere in the path to the image: /wp-content/themes/atahualpa 3/images/.... (there should be NOT)
• if the file names end on .jpg, .gif or .png (they should)
• if your graphics program added something like .LCK after the image name: myimage.gif.LCK (it should NOT)

Related to all images in CSS, not just header images:

• use absolute paths when using background: url(image) somewhere in the theme options: background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/myimage.gif)
• If your site is in a subdirectory /blog/ then use background: url(/blog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/myimage.gif)

In version 3.3.3 a wrong Example path to images may be shown in the theme options. Something like

yoursite.com/wordpresshttp://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa333/images/header/

This should be

http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp...images/header/

or

/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa333/images/header/

Both would work

Flynn, the header image in my blog only shows roughly every third refresh both in IE and Firefox (haven't checked Safari). As directed, I cleared the folder of all but the one desired image and did double check the file per your recommendations above. Still, no dice. Any suggestions would be super appreciated. Thanks!

Scratch that, I hadn't properly cleared the folder. All's well now. There was a .LCK file in there for some reason. I'm a bit new to this...

I had the same problem and deleted the .LCK files. Now all works perfectly. I think Dreamweaver creates the .LCK files as part of the check-in/check-out facility. I may be wrong.

I am having this issue and have checked the file name etc. What else can I do to make my image show up?
Help! Please....
I donated for your time.
Thanks

Hiya,
I've done all things mentioned above and I still can not for the life of me get ANY pictures to show up in my header. I haven't had any pics show up since I installed it. Is there anything else I should be looking at?

You have a space in /atahualpa 3/

There shouldn't be a space anywhere, neither in file names nor in directory names

I've got a problem but I don't know where to change it. The path shown below is wrong, but how to correct it?

What's your setting at Theme Options -> Header Image -> Rotate header images with Javascript? Should be something else than 0

The example path that is shown is wrong, a bug in 3.3.3. However, while confusing, it does not affect the functionality. Upload your images to /blog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa333/images/header/

Hi There
I'm still missing something. I am not able to even access the images folder.
I've signed in and when I add the path to the admin path it can't find the server.
All I want to do is upload my own custom header to the bytes theme. When I add this path
wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa333/images/header

to

http://humanresourcefullness.com/wp-admin/index.php

or any variation it doesn't work.

What am I missing?

This is for the atahualpa 3 template

I really appreciate your help

In atahualpa header images are in teh directory yourblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpaxxx/images/header
you may or maynot have the /wordpress' depending on how you did your install of WordPress and the xxx represents the version number of the theme if you named the file that way.

You will need to use an FTP program to upload images to that folder.

It's the directory to the images that I can't find and when I copy and paste the url that you cited here it says forbidden.

bytesforall is the template. How do I get to the folder of images? Where is it?

Hi There
Thank you again for helping.

In his case, his blog is an alias to another site with images. I'm not seeing the template files there. Likely because its an alias.

How about just stopping the rotating images. Is that possible, since it seems we can't get our custom header in.

You have me confused, are you using the 'Atahualpa' theme or the 'bytesforall' theme?

I wonder if you can help me. I've downloaded ata 3.4.2. because I wanted the rotating header, I've FTP my images to
/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/header

and the images don't appear only the one's that came with the theme.

Do you know what the problem could be?

I would really appreciate your help, I am pretty new at this and I am at lost...

Thank you

what have you got set at ATO-> Header Image ?
What is the url?

I also had almost the same issue.
I use the latest Atahualpa 3.4.2 with latest wp.2.8.4
most of the setting in Header area > header image are on default.
all was fine until I ftp new header image to header folder,
after that I just got blank header image.
I delete all header image except one also same result.
delete all and put back original header images also same.
any ideal?

what is your url so I can take a look

Hi again Flynn,

Well I have the theme installed (Atahualpa 3.4.1) and up & running , Philippines Virtual Guide Looking great apart from I cannot get my banners to rotate unless I refresh the page or select a different post, which obviously refreshes anyway...? The images are all displaying, just not rotating !

Also I have no thumbnail display on any page or post, including on the home page, that is displaying excerpts ! Each post has it's own 150 x150 px thumb which (on the old theme at least) did display in the excerpts of each post on the home page.

Finally is there any possibility of getting the option to assign an image in the header rotator to any particular post or page, I think this would be great on a future release...? Even if the rotator itself does not rotate hahaha.

Regards Taffy
