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 am having a problem getting a background image on one of my sites
I have been able to get it to work on another site by using this code in the HTML insert Top Body line
<img src="http://my url/wp-content/image/color rifle.jpg" id="bg" />

I tried to duplicate this on the new site and am unable to get it to work
i have tried to add the image to all the image directories also with no luck

I have also tried to follow the instructions on the Body, Text & Link tab with no success.

my old site
Atahualpa-3.7.3
word press 3.3.1

new site
Atahualpa-3.7.9
word press 3.4.2

thanks for the help

old working site is oilfieldpaintservices.com
new non working site is monumentfitness.com
I also noticed that the sticky page defaults are different
oilfieldpaintservices.com-
background: #eee url('<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/sticky.gif') 99% 5% no-repeat;
monumentfitness.com
background: #eee url('http://monumentfitness.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa /images/sticky.gif') 99% 5% no-repeat;

or just in the theme

I renamed the file then reloaded it to
/www/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images
and
/www/monumentfitness.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images
I have loaded it as a gif and a jpg

is this the correct code
<img src="http://monumentfitness.com/wp-content/image/colorrifle.jpg" id="bg" />
and does it go in to the HTML insert Body top
thanks

HTML Code:
<img src="http://monumentfitness.com/wp-content/image/colorrifle.jpg" id="bg" />
1) if you put it in the images folder of the theme, you have to name the full path to the image.

2) check the file permission - if you type in the full path in to the browser address
HTML Code:
http://monumentfitness.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/image/colorrifle.jpg/
and it doesn't show then eithor the file name is wrong, the location is wrong or there is a permission problem
