    Can anyone tell me why the images don’t work on my wordpress. they are uploaded as jpg files if that makes any difference. They appear in my FTP client fine but when I go to select the theme, everything shows up but the images. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • A link to your site would help….

    Likely causes:

    1) The path to the images is wrong in your posts
    2) Image files might be uploaded, but corrupt

    Looks like the stylesheet isn’t loading at all. First thing I’d try is to remove the space from the folder name:

    “fading_flowers” or “fadingflowers” rather than “fading flowers”

    Then try switching back to that theme and see if there’s any difference.

    I changed Fading Flowers to fading_flowers but it made no difference. I removed it and then reloaded it but still no difference. I went into my Theme Editor and there was a stylesheet loaded for Fading Flowers so I compared it to the unzipped copy on my computer and they matched. What should I be looking for?

    Your masthead is here:
    https://www.peggyanncraig.com/blog/wp-content/themes/fading_flowers/masthead.jpg

    But the stylesheet is only looking here:
    images/masthead.jpg

    which equates to looking here:
    https://www.peggyanncraig.com/blog/images/masthead.jpg

    So it isn’t finding it. You need to either move the images to the images folder in the blog folder, or update the stylesheet so that it is looking in the theme folder where the images are.

    /fading_flowers/images/masthead.jpg

    Does that exist ? your server says not.

    Okay, so do I change my directory for the images or correct the stylesheet?

    I would recommend changing the stylesheet, that way if you ever decide to get rid of this theme, you can just delete the theme folder and you wouldn’t have to worry about digging through your images folder to see which ones to delete. It would all be together.

    So I tried changing the stylesheet, didn’t help, so I removed Fading Flowers, changed the stylesheet on my computer then reloaded and still did not make any difference. Have I typed the directory wrong?

    I think you doubled it up. It is looking for the masthead here:
    https://www.peggyanncraig.com/blog/wp-content/themes/
    fading_flowers/wp-content/themes/fading_flowers/masthead.jpg

    (I added a break for ease of reading.)

    See how it says wp-content/themes/fading_flowers twice?

    How did you put it in the stylesheet?

    I entered wp-content/themes/fading_flowers/mastead.jpg

    Have tried to remove everything from wp-content to fading_flowers and leaving only mastead but it still isn’t working.

    Where are you reading the entry?

    I would put the full path in the stylesheet, that way you know exactly where it is looking.

    I DID IT!!!!!

    WOO HOO!!

    I had to create a new folder in fading flowers and used original path.

    Thanks so much for all your help!

    Good job! ??
