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 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.

you should add the name of your site so someone can look at the underlining code.

Also make sure in the Atahualpa theme Options -> Header -> Configure Header Area that you have %image entered. If you don't, the image area won't display

Laura, I think you mentioned on wordpress.bytesforall.com that you've put the images into
wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/New Directory

Put them into
wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/

instead.


On another note, don't use spaces anywhere in file names or directory names, if it is supposed to run on a web hosting account. Spaces work on Windows but not on Linux, which is usually the operation system of choice on web hosting servers.

/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/montezuma/images/header/longbeachpic.jpg

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

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?

hmmm....that's interesting. It says Current Theme
Atahualpa 3.4.1 by BytesForAll

Version 3.4.1 – Atahualpa is a WordPress/PHP/CSS Framework that lets you build your own unique, professional and browser-safe WordPress theme: 1-5 columns, fluid or fixed width, rotating header images and over 200 theme options. Tutorials, downloads and support at the BFA WP Forum

All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/atahualpa.
-------------------------------------
I've been trying to get to the images file through ftp but there is only php files. Still trying to figure this out. I'm confused when getting a custom header image in there is so hard to do. It says that its possible. hmm...

Bytesfor all is the domain for several themes, one is called 'bytesforall' another is called 'atahualpa' this is where the confusion comes from.

If you use FTP and can get to the WordPress themes folder, you will see a folder called Atahualpa. Inside this folder (along with some PHP and some other folders) will be a folder called 'Images'. Inside this folder you will find a folder called 'Header'. That's where the header iages are located.
