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

  • 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
I've gone over this checklist a few times already, and still can't get my header image to change. The current header is located at http://lynnfang.com/wp-content/theme...peharvest3.jpg and I would like to change it to this one: http://lynnfang.com/wp-content/theme...er/sprout3.jpg

I removed the grapeharvest3.jpg from the images/header folder, and uploaded the sprout3.jpg but nothing showed. I let it sit overnight, the next day still nothing.

There are no spaces or funky files in the images/header folder. I now have both the grapeharvest3 and sprout3 files in the images/header folder, but only grapeharvest3 will show.

I actually went to Photoshop, and replaced the grapeharvest3 image with the sprout3 image, to see if it would take the same file name with a new pic. It actually still remembered the original grapeharvest3 image, and didn't upload the new image.

I use Bluehost.com's internal 'FTP' to upload the header image.

Please help!! Thank you so much!

OSX 10.11.5 WP 4.x Atahualpa(all) Safari, Firefox, Chrome
look in your css inserts, you have
HTML Code:
div#imagecontainer {
background-position:center top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa353/images/header/grapeharvest3.jpg) !important;
height:150px;
margin:0;
padding:0
}
remove it
