@ Julia

Do you have more than one copy of the theme on your server?

I simply typed in the full URI of the image and I see the one you added (not the orange one) with the “I Do Stu…” and lines. Email me via contact form if you still can’t solve it.

Hi, hso.

I’m not sure I understand. You see the same old header when you visit that folder–how are you seeing that? When you say “old header,” do you mean the original (orange and green) header or my current header that I’m trying to replace?

And “themes/3k2redux-klein/3k2redux/images is the folder I’ve been trying to upload my new image to. Even after I delete “head.jpg” from that folder, the image is still there.

Thanks for any help!

When I visit themes/3k2redux-klein/3k2redux/images/head.jpg I see the same old header. Change that and it should work.

Hi, hso. No, I’m not using that plugin or any other cache plugin. (I don’t even know what it is!) And I did try deleting ALL images named head.jpg, and the header stubbornly remains. I even tried the whole procedure on a separate computer. Same results.

What am I doing wrong? It’s got to be so simple!

@ Julia

Would you be using the WP-Cache or similar caching plugin by any chance? If so, delete all cached files and you should be able to refresh the page. Worst case, delete all images by the name head.jpg and reload the new one.

Aaaand . . . now I’m not good. I switched back to my original header so I could do some work on the new one. Now, when I upload the new image, it doesn’t change on my site. I’ve tried loading “head.jpg” in every conceivable folder on my server (in my theme folder), and NOTHING works. I’ve even deleted the “head.jpg” from its folder, and I STILL get my old header (instead of a black box). Please help!

Thanks.

I figured it out. I had to replace the existing “head.jpg” with the new file and name the new file “head.jpg.” I was trying to use a differently named file, change the filename in style.css, but that didn’t work.

So I’m good!

Thanks again.

Arrggh! I just tried that: uploaded the jpg into the /style/twocolumn folder, where I also saw the original “head.jpg.” Changed the file name in style.css here:

#header {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background:url(images/head.jpg) no-repeat #000000;

But still the same problem: the header is all black!

Is there somewhere else I need to upload the file? Change the file name? I’m desperate!

Thank you!

That is weird, but remember, there are two stylesheet and images in each of the K2 Redux themes, so look for the stylesheet (and corresponding header image) in themes/3k2redux-klein/styles/twocolumn.

Hello! I’m trying to replace my header image. I’ve uploaded the image to the theme’s images folder. The jpg is named “webhead.jpg.” I changed the name in style.css from “head.jpg” to “webhead.jpg,” but the header is just black. I’ve tried uploading other images already in the images file (ie, pencil.gif) and they show up as the header. But new files I’ve added do not.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.
