thesoundsmith

Thanks. I searched the upload plugs, didn’t see what I wanted. But the media option looks promising,

Thanks. I saw one of those earlier, the other looks interesting.

When I first installed the theme for this site, color change worked perfectly and immediately. When I went to a child theme, it no longer functioned.

Following your advice, I disabled all the plugins, including the child theme. It still no longer works. Whatever setting up the child theme did apparently toggled something.

Ideas? Thanks.

Thanks to both of you. I thought MOJO was under the WP umbrella. Waiting patiently…

On my second site The Soundsmith I have been developing it without a child theme. The color change worked perfectly.

I have now added One-Click Child Theme and changed to it, and the color option no longer works. Any suggestions? I can disable the child theme (and probably be able to change color) but do not know what to expect, can this mess up my edits?

I am using the Road Fighter Theme. In my second installation, currently under development, color change works perfectly. (I am not yet using a child theme, wonder if this is relative? I will test it.)

The update to Pro fixed this, now I have a different set if questions… Thanks.

Thanks for the insight, Michael. I can change the image in the Background Image – it just doesn’t show up unless I name it Space2. Firebug shows the line still reads …Space2.gif, not the image I have currently loaded.

I am using the free version of the Theme, the slider is not theoretically active. (displays 1st pic only. I assume.) I have tried several times to email the developer to see if the upgrade is useful to me, and to see if that would resolve the issue, but so far (over a week) I have not received a reply.

How can I access flexslider? I prefer to not edit the php files.

Still stuck on the one name. I can change the image but not the name. It must be named Space2.gif. What can I do to fix this? I am using a child theme, could that be of any significance? Could not find the name in tho child files.

Thanks. I have done so, deleted the cache and the backup cache, still remains. And it has been hours since I changed the GIF and it still displays whatever I name Space2.

I’ll shut it down again and deactivate it, see if that helps this evening. But it seems longer than a cache update would explain. I can change the background on the other pages quickly (Between Space8 and 9, no prob.

That’s what it is now – and 3 times the size, even after being optimized (12M otherwise) The GIF is 7M, the video only 2M . The problem is the “Front Page” issue – I can’t find a page to edit and the Custom CSS does not affect it, so none of the video BG plug-ins work.

Never mind, I found a workaround – rename the file I want to the file that the system wants. It took awhile, but got through

(Couldn’t find an Edit option)
The smaller GIF, which displays correctly, is

the one that does not is

They both look fine everywhere but the front page.

Where I am adding this is in the Customize Style Setting window. I did not think I was modifying header.php, though I DO have a mod for the header that I want to address.

I did not make the original changes, I am very new to WP, and a friend added the original changes. I may have broken it adding my changes. Here are the complete current style window changes.

.header_container.not_home {
	background: #2f2f2f url(https://www.churchofzero.com/wp-content/uploads/Space2.gif);
	background-size: 100% 100%;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

a { color: #783711;
text-decoration: none;
}

I replaced the anchor tag color: with this:

<style)
/* unvisited link */
a:link {color: #d8621f;}
/* visited link */
a:visited { color: #783711;}
/* mouse over link */
a:hover { color: #ECA379;}
/* selected link */
a:active { color: #F5CEB8;}

</style>`
Did I need to specify style.css or css.css? If so, how? I want the changes to apply globally except the main menu.

Never mind – found the missing piece.
