header problems

  • I looked at the page that tells me how to add a banner to the header, and did it.

    So instead of `#header {
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/wc_header.jpg”)
    no-repeat bottom center; }
    #headerimg {
    margin: 7px 9px 0;
    height: 192px;
    width: 740px; }`

    
I have #header {
        background: url(\"<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>https://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/LOST_IN_PA/airplane3-5.jpg\")no-repeat bottom center;
        }
#headerimg  {
  margin: 7px 9px 0;
  height: 192px;
  width: 740px; }

    yet nothing as changed. Whats wrong?

  • Try doing this:

    #header {
        background: url(https://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/LOST_IN_PA/airplane3-5.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
        }

    Your image is stored on photobucket and not in your theme folder, so you don’t need to add the <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?> bit.

    Side question: Will photobucket allow hot-linking like that?

    Is there any reason not to store it on the hosting machine? Surely that would load quicker than an image on photobucket?

    I uploaded the image to my site, and put that in, but it still won’t work.

    I have #header {
    background: url(\“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>https://i7.photobucket.com/

    You appear to have added a \ in there. Could that be upsetting it?

    (the silly forum software here probably added that \ in front of the double-quotes.
    Reported bug)
