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

I've uploaded my header image to wp-content/themes/atahualpa/themes/header, deleted all the headers that came with the theme, but my header still won't show up on my site. I've confirmed with westhost that my files uploaded through ftp correctly.

My site is currently http://mamatrue.westhostsite.com

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry about that. I have it in /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header but it's not showing up on the blog. What should I try next?

Can you please post a screenshot of an ftp screen of your header folder folder? What you are describing makes no sense but I suspect you are thinking that to.

while I'm sure you deleted all the installed images and put your own is a folder. it was not the folder
HTML Code:
http://mamatrue.westhostsite.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/
which is where your site is getting the images from.

(P.S. I have several sites at westhost.com)

You were totally right. Though it was showing mamatrue.whsites.com, it wanted mamatrue.com. Thanks!! Now I'm just trying to find out where I can get the width setting for the header so that I can make the image fit. Any suggestions?

The header width varies with the page width. I suggest you define a maximum page size (I use 1440) then make your header image that big. Put the important part of the image on the side you 'lock' (look at the header image options) so the other side is truncated if someone makes the screen smaller.

Hi. I'm relatively new to all of this as well, and have read every thread I could find in here on this subject. I use bluehost and used it's FTP program to upload my image. I then deleted the 3 standard images, but I cannot get my image to show up on my blog. Now my front page looks terrible and I'm not sure how to fix it! Do I need to get into the Editor on my dashboard and somehow put it there?
Help!
My website is www. savvysavingsmom .com

Sorry, I figured it out. I had renamed the image "Savvy Savings Mom Header and just needed to change it to "SavvySavingsMomHeader.jpg"
That did the trick, now just working on tweaking the height/width.

Hi,
I use the Atahualpa theme 3.5.3. I did download the 3.6, but a lot of my settings were gone. So I redownloaded 3.5.3. But now I cannot see any header images. I did exactly what you instructed to do in the first post, but I do not know what I did wrong. Please help...?

Jack.

The url to the site is: www.young-desperate.nl

What is the atahualpa folder called? is it 'atahualpa' or 'atahualpa353'?
What is the full path to the images.

Hi Juggledad,
Thank you for your reply!
The folder is called 'atahualpa'.
And the full path to the image (it is just one image) is:http://young-desperate.nl/wp-content...images/header/

Thanks ,
Jack

and what are the names of the images that are in that folder? I should be able to type the path/image-name into a browser window and see the image. If I can't, then it will never show up.

that file is really a bmp even though you have called it a jpg. edit the image and save it as a jpg. Also reduce the quality it is 700k and takes a while to load, make it no more than 100k

Sorry, but I am a nitwit in this.
Just build a site out of curiousity, but these permissions are way out of my leagua (still).
I want to understand, but I don't...
