Header and Footer pattern not showing up

I think this is probably relevant to the issue. I have audited my page since the last update as it seemed to slow right down – and I am getting a 404 error – for none.png for selecting no pattern.

I have tried selecting a pattern (pattern 7 it seems!) and I get the following 404, and there is no pattern; – so it seems it is looking in the wrong place.

Hi,

Please open up custom-css.php go to line 525 and find the following codes.

.header, .footer {background-image:url(' . $template_url . '/library/media/images/pattern/' . $evolve_main_pattern . ');}

and change to the following codes.

.header, .footer {background-image:url(' . $evolve_main_pattern . ');}

Thanks for spotting this bug.

Thanks!

Hi Denzel,

thanks for your help. Changed the code / replaced the line 525 with your suggested code, but still no pattern shown.

Hi Matthik,

Please post your website url here.

Thanks!

Hi,

it’s https://met-mole.de. Your suggested code change is still active in custom-css.php.

Thanks!

Hi,

I can see in your web page source code, the code within dynamic css file is wrong. Please see screenshot. https://prntscr.com/83o40x

I think you have copied my code from this thread and pasted into your editor, but the quote is decoded into HTML entities, and not parsed properly as PHP code.

You need to use a proper code editor to edit your theme file, not a normal text editor.
And you also need to clear your wp super cache’s cache files after updating theme.

Thanks!

The PHP variable is not suppose to show up as text in the dynamic css file.

Hi Denzel,

thank you very much for your support! It’s working fine now.

I copied the code from the follow-up post notify mail in my mail client. Didn’t realize the decoded quotes. :-/

Hi,

Glad to here it worked for you.

Thanks!

Hi Denzel,

I tried your solution and it worked fine as long as a “Header and Footer pattern” is not ‘none’. Then this IF does not match ‘none’ and it displays the actual image “none.jpg” instead of leaving the background blank.

if ( $evolve_main_pattern != ‘none’ ) {…

The only workaround I have found is to reset all section parametres so that there is nothing selected. Then CSS requires the following image

background-image: url(pattern_8.png);

that is not found and the background is left blank.

However, how could it be fixed so that when no Pattern is selected, no background image is displayed?

Thanks

Hi,

You can change the if check to include checking for no value.

if ( $evolve_main_pattern != "none" && $evolve_main_pattern != "" )

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick answer Denzel!

However I am sorry but this does not work. Probably because in line 12 of custom-css.php if there is no set option it recovers pattern8 as its default value.=>

12: $evolve_main_pattern = evolve_get_option( ‘evl_pattern’, ‘pattern_8.png’ );

My guess is that line 12 should be replaced with the value that the user will select if he chooses no pattern, as follows:

$evolve_main_pattern = evolve_get_option( ‘evl_pattern’, $imagepathfolder . ‘/header-two/none.jpg’ );

And then line 524 replaced with:

if ( $evolve_main_pattern != ” && $evolve_main_pattern != $imagepathfolder . ‘/header-two/none.jpg’ )

But it is not actually working… and I do not understand why.

Thanks

Hi

For anyone interested, the solution above was correct except that it required imagepathfolder to be filled before line 525.

So the fixing is

Line 12:
$evolve_main_pattern = evolve_get_option( ‘evl_pattern’, $imagepathfolder . ‘/header-two/none.jpg’ );

And Lines 522-526

$imagepathfolder = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/library/media/images/’;
if ( $evolve_main_pattern != $imagepathfolder . ‘/header-two/none.jpg’ ) {
$evolve_css_data .= ‘
.header, .footer {background-image:url(‘ . $evolve_main_pattern . ‘);}
‘;
}

Thanks

Just recently, I’m being bombarded with 404 errors involving “pattern_8.png”. My site is lifesskillsa.com and the errors include every page on my site, one example being https://lifeskillssa.com/contact-us/pattern_8.png. After reading Denzel’s proposed solution, I opened up my custom-css.php file and found a message within the code: I’m posting that section here

//@since 2.0.2 mod by denzel
//do not remove the extra slash, it’s a folder path mistake in option-init.php at line 806, try to fix now will cause problem to users.
$none = $evolve_template_url . ‘/library/media/images//header-two/none.jpg’;
if ( $evolve_main_pattern != $none && ! empty( $evolve_main_pattern ) && @getimagesize( $evolve_main_pattern ) ) {
//fix it here, remove the extra slash, before we produce background image url.
$evolve_main_pattern = str_replace(‘images//’, ‘images/’, $evolve_main_pattern);
$evolve_css_data .= ‘
.header-pattern,
.footer {
background-image:url(‘ . $evolve_main_pattern . ‘);
}
‘;
}

I also started getting 404 errors from several webpages, but replacing “pattern_8.png” with these png names:
apple-touch-icon-120×120-precomposed.png
apple-touch-icon-120×120.png
apple-touch-icon.png
apple-touch-icon-152×152-precomposed.png
apple-touch-icon-152×152.png
apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png

I’m totally inexperienced in editing code, so I did nothing. Can someone help, please, so restore my sanity?
