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

thanks for your reply. i have searched through the forums and am still very confused. i am not a novice at coding, but i'm also not a professional .... do i add code to the header.php page (which i have already, based on some code found in the forum -- and which didn't work); do i add code to the options pages; and then some forum pages say to add something to css?.... the page you directed me to just has header swf on the home page -- i want it on all pages.

if someone could just let me know the different steps involved in getting a swf to be the header i would be eternally grateful!

You should'nt ahve to make any changes to the theme code, use a new widget area in the header. That is what post #3 in that thread is telling you to do.

So start off by getting the swf to run in a widget, then create a header widget and put your code there.

remember, first ou add the widget area, then you add a widget into the widget area (in the widget's option of the dashboard)

well, i am still not seeing the image. the url is http://ezgsa.com/wordpress. i've done what that thread suggests:

Options->Style and Edit Header Area->Configure Header Area
HTML Code:

%pages
%bar1
<div id="header-container" class="header-image-container">
<?php bfa_widget_area('name=Header Widget Area'); ?>
</div>
%bar2

Add HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts
Code:

/* Adjust the height to accommodate your slideshow */
#header-container{
position:relative;
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:890px;
height:200px;
background: url(/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/topnavi.swf) center no-repeat;
}

did you add a widget?? It looks like all you have done is defined the area, now go to the widget options and you should see a new widget area 'Header Widget Area' drag teh text widget there and put your code in.

juggledad, i really appreciate your patience with me. i am at the text widget now (got it to the new header), and trying to make that work. i've put in the following code:

<div id="header-container"><img scr="http://ezgsa.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/topnavi.swf" height="200px" width="880px"></div>

i'm not putting any title in. still not seeing the swf. can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

juggledad, after my 25th search through the forum today, i finally found someone who had a much easier way of dealing with this. http://www.mydeviceip.com/2009/10/ad...eme-ver-3-4-4/ offers a very simple methodology. it works great.

i do appreciate your assistance!
