Hi

Great theme

I'm having a problem displaying images on header.

While readin reviews I noted that your images should display until subsituted with others.

I'm not getting any images!

any thoughts would be appreciated

If these were all the clues in Sherlock Holmes novel, even he would be helpless against the case :)

I'm a beginner, but...

I'm going to take a guess here, but if you name your images differently than Vlad did, the routine to display them won't find them.

If this is the case, just name your images the same as the ones you are replacing, and they should show up.

I have a similar question - I love the photos that are included but would like to add others as well - is there a way to do this? 

Also - I know nothing about coding but is there a way to move my tags to the bottom right instead of top right?


Thanks!

  • Adding rotating images in header (version 2.0 of the theme and up already has this implemented)
  1. Create images you want to rotate and put them in your images/folder under the names bg-portait1.png, bg-portait2.png and so on.
  2. Open your style.css and remove background reference from #portrait-bg section
  3. Enter this code in your header.php just below the stylesheet line (one beginning with link rel=”stylesheet”)
  4. <style type="text/css">
    #portrait-bg { background: url(<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/bg-portrait<?php echo (rand()%69); ?>.jpg); }
    </style>
  5. Replace “69″ with your maximum picture number

I have tried the above method, but it seems to be not working. Anyone can help me here? I would like to have my photos to be rotate on the header. Thanks!

If I upload the theme to my site without changing any pictures/renaming anything... should there not be pictures in the header by default...

My issue is not with my pictures not diplaying (that I would quickly associate with my screw up ). I'm not getting any pictures even tho the theme has them in the image file by default ie bg-portrait 0

thanks... it is a great looking theme

There should be the default images (10 in the current versions of the theme). So if it works for everyone else and not for you it has to be associated with some mistake.

Thank you

I wasn't sure whether it was by default or not. This allows me to focus on where I'm screwing up  :>)

I am able to change the images just fine but wanted to know if you could give the demensions they need to be in order to show correctly.  I don't know anything about coding so this might be in the code somewhere.  If I put in an portrait picture it will turn repeat the image in order to fill up the whole landscape setting of your example pictures.  I can use all landscape pictures but just wanted to know what size they need to be so they will fit in your parameters.

I am in the process of upgrading from Amazing Grace 1.0 to 2.6.  I am using your "Theme Test Drive" plugin.  When I view my site in 2.6, the header image does not display.  In fact no image displays.  It displays just fine in 1.0.

(Of course I copied the bg-portrait image from the 1.0 image folder to 2.6.)

Do I need to adjust any settings?  Suggestions? Questions?

I figured out my problem. It turns out that the php code that randomizes header image displays by tacking on a random number to the end of bg-portrait was the culprit. I deleted this code and my header image displays fine.

PS: I'm happy to say that I've launched v 2.6!
