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

Help [SOLVED] How to upload my own background image?

Can someone remind me how to upload my own image to use as my background? I've done it once, but didn't like it so removed it and now I can't figure it out!

I've uploaded the image to: /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/image_name but I'm not sure what code to put into my settings. Can someone remind me please? I've inserted the following code, as indicated in the layout instructions, but is's still not working

background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ChevronLtGrey.jpeg) repeat top left;

Thanks very much!

Your image named ChevronLtGrey.jpeg does not appear to be in the /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images folder or it is named differently in your code than it is in the folder.

Wordpress 3.4.1, Atahualpa 3.7.7
I don't think .jpeg works, does it?

I've uploaded it again, an double checked the path and it's still not working. I have no idea what I've done wrong.

What I've done:

1. Clicked on File Manager in CPanel --> Web Root (public_html/www)
2. Click on public_html --> wordpress content --> themes --> atahualpa --> images
3. Then I upload my jpeg background and I can see it in the folder titled ChevronLtGrey.jpg (I typed jpeg in my first post, but correctly entered jpg in the design page)


** This post is continued in the next reply (the system isn't letting me post my entire message)

4. I try and change the background in my settings by entering the following:
background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ChevronLtGrey.jpg) repeat top left;
Since that didn't work I have also tried: background: url(public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ChevronLtGrey.jpg) repeat top left; but that has not worked either.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong??
