Header graphic not showing, what about my file path is wrong?

  • I’m a newbie, like only days old here at this point. I have WP installed and working on an internal server here at work. But, the graphics for the themes I’m choosing aren’t visible from any other computer. I know it’s probably because of a file path not being right but I can’t figure out what it is I need to change. Any ideas?

    I am using WP 2.1.1 in conjunction with WAMP5. Currently, I have the WP files in a directory in the root –
    C:wamp/www/wp-content/themes/

    The theme displays correctly if viewing in the browser from the server but not any other computer. I tried looking for a previous post regarding this but apparently I’m one of the only folks who can’t figure it out I guess! Thanks for any help you can pass along.

  • You say that the WP files are in the root C:wamp/www/wp-content/themes/ but don’t say what file path you specify for the images.

    If you are calling the whole path from c: then the images won’t appear to anyone else because they don’t have the images in c:

    Try using images/yourimage.gif (assuming you have the images in a folder named images inside your themes folder)

    Does this help? If not then perhaps you could post the snippet of code that you are using to call the images. ??

    I would say your problem is in your image URL, C:wamp/www/wp-content/themes/ (i assume that /images will follow soon after that block). You see, it is expecting to see C:wamp/www/wp-content/themes/ on every computer, but that is not where they are… They are on YOUR computer. So, try uploading everything to a local network (I am assuming your work has one, most do.) and then change the url to localhost/…

    Hope that helped some.

    Actually, I fixed it and it ended up being a simpler fix than I was thinking. I tried redoing the path to no avail. I then stumbled upon a posting for a similar problem and that was it. Here’s the dialogue from that post that fixed it, for anyone else that might need help as well:

    If you have the wrong values on the Options->General page for Site and WordPress URL’s, then you can have this sort of thing occur. Correct those incorrect values. You can’t just make them anything you please, they must be the actual correct URLs of your site.
