'/_sidebar2.php'); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> I can't find any reference to Excerpt in the source? The only ref to it I can find is on the Edit Post page from the dashboard but I've left it blank? Cheers, Dewi t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1140951 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:39:48 +0000 t31os_ 1140951@http://wordpress.org/support/ If you're using... <code>the_excerpt()</code> ..i don't think you'll see images.. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt#Comparison_of_the_excerpt.28.29_vs._the_content.28.29" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt#Comparison_of_the_excerpt.28.29_vs._the_content.28.29</a> Use.. <code>the_content();</code> And combine that with usage of the <code></code> tag to divide your content.. I could be wrong but i think it's worth a shot... ;) EDIT: Just read your post again... In your theme files, you'll have an instance of .. <code><?php the_excerpt(); ?></code> or. <code><?php the_content(); ?></code> If you have... <code><?php the_excerpt(); ?></code> then that may explain why you can't see images... I could be wrong though.. dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1140370 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:04:29 +0000 dewijones67 1140370@http://wordpress.org/support/ Linked fixed - again...! I understand the  tag - not to sure I understand what you mean by "the_content()" and "the_excerpt()" although I can see and excerpt section there - I haven't added to it. Thanks t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1139113 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:27:16 +0000 t31os_ 1139113@http://wordpress.org/support/ I can't click any titles to see, they're broken again.. If you're using the  tag though, just make sure the image is before that... And check to see you're using the_content() and not the_excerpt() which i think removes images and such... dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1138669 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:18:07 +0000 dewijones67 1138669@http://wordpress.org/support/ On the front page - if you click on any of the post headings you will be taken to the post itself where you'll see an image and some text. I've been loading them using: "Upload/Insert" or the "Insert / Edit Embedded Media" button all have the same result. I'm probably missing something obvious? Cheers, Dewi t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1138030 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:02:00 +0000 t31os_ 1138030@http://wordpress.org/support/ Can you show me an example of where this problem exists? How are you placing images into posts? I don't see any in the posts on the site at the moment.. dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137969 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:19:16 +0000 dewijones67 1137969@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thank you - with your help it certainly is - I'm very pleased - I'm sure the school will be too...! Running the risk of outstaying my welcome here - I'm trying to add images to posts but want to view them on the pages themselves - not have to open the post's to view them - is there a way of doing that? t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137933 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:57:45 +0000 t31os_ 1137933@http://wordpress.org/support/ Sites undertaken quite a few changes since i last saw it, coming along nicely... Sometimes a problem just needs a second pair of eyes, glad i could help... ;) dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137926 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:47:55 +0000 dewijones67 1137926@http://wordpress.org/support/ Nice one - I see where I'm going wrong now...! Once again thank you for your help - you really know your stuff...! Cheers t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137706 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:08:25 +0000 t31os_ 1137706@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hover over a post title link... Look at the URL done in your status bar (or right click > properties). Here's a url from one. <code><a href="http://www.newporthigh.co.uk/http:moodle.newporthigh.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.newporthigh.co.uk/http:moodle.newporthigh.co.uk</a></code> dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137553 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:40:28 +0000 dewijones67 1137553@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hello and sorry for yet another question..... The above has worked perfectly.... I have a whole knew issue now though - when I post content to the site the images / video does not show I am given a warning: Server Error - 404 - File or directory not found.The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. But when I click on edit I can see the text / image / video? Any ideas why its not showing? thank you.. dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327/page/2#post-1137424 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:41:53 +0000 dewijones67 1137424@http://wordpress.org/support/ That is brilliant and a lot easier to use. The 2nd part allows me to be selective with the links I want on the Menu Bar and in the Side Bars...! Thanks again - I may well come back with more questions later...! cheers... t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1136533 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:10:05 +0000 t31os_ 1136533@http://wordpress.org/support/ How are you currently creating the links and displaying them? If you're using Admin > Links to create the links you should have no problem linking offsite.. Menu can be generated without the title like so. <pre><code><ul> <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?> </ul></code></pre> Further options available for it usage. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks</a> As long as you type the full address (including <a href="http://" rel="nofollow">http://</a>) when creating the link it will work fine.. Right now it looks like you're creating needless amount of extra menus.... (current page has something like).. <pre><code><div id="menu"> <ul><li>some link</li></ul> <ul><li>some link2</li></ul> <ul><li>some link3</li></ul></code></pre> When that only need be.. <pre><code><div id="menu"> <ul> <li>some link</li> <li>some link2</li> <li>some link3</li> <li>some link4</li> </ul></code></pre> etc.... dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1136054 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:03:24 +0000 dewijones67 1136054@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hello - I'm really hoping this is still being watched...? <a href="http://www.newporthigh.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.newporthigh.co.uk</a> The issue this time is the Menu Bar has a number of links on it - how do I make these links external (other than my site) rather than internal? Wordpress only seems to allow them to be subdirectories of the above address (Permalinks??). Is there a way of altering the code to make them external? Many Thanks Experts....

You have been very helpful, I have learned much. The same to you Alchymyth this has been invaluable. The school would be grateful too. All the best, Dewi t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126743 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:04:47 +0000 t31os_ 1126743@http://wordpress.org/support/ Likely footer.php of the theme... Look for .. <pre><code> Design by <a href="http://www.freewpthemes.net/">Free WordPress Themes</a> </code></pre> So just remove the text and replace it with your own, making sure to leave the tags, <code></code> and <code></code> Example: <code>This is some text</code> dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126603 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:14:12 +0000 dewijones67 1126603@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thanks for the detailed explanation - it really helps - I made the amendments exactly as explained and its absolutely spot on... Thank you.....! I need to sort out the colour issues now - but, I think I know enough for that now. I have played with the button issue I had and think its OK for now. One last question though - could you tell me how to exchange the line of text at the base "Design by Free WordPress Themes" for either a small logo or some text of my own? Thank you very much.... t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126175 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:09:31 +0000 t31os_ 1126175@http://wordpress.org/support/ See your CSS.. <pre><code>/* #page { width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 10px 0px;} */ #page {padding:0;margin:10px 0}</code></pre> You're missing the previous defintions.... The code i supplied is addition to what you have, unless a definition exists, in which case you update it, so the above for example should be.. <code>#page {padding:0;margin:10px 0;width:940px}</code> Again here.. <pre><code>#wrapper {margin:0 auto} /* #wrapper {width: 940px; height:100%;margin: 0 auto; margin-top:44px;} */</code></pre> Should be... <code>#wrapper {width: 940px; height:100%;margin:0 auto}</code> In other words, just update the values i've posted, but don't leave out the old ones... Here... <pre><code>body { background: #ff9900 url('http://www.newporthigh.co.uk/wp-content/themes/pamphlet/Images/SchoolAssembly.jpg') top center no-repeat; } /*next set of advice - update the lines of code later*/ body { background:#f90 url('http://www.newporthigh.co.uk/wp-content/themes/pamphlet/Images/SchoolAssembly.jpg') top center repeat;}</code></pre> You're specifying the body twice, remove one... (also defined #header twice, so again remove one - combine definitions where need be) If you're concerned about keeping old code, copy the file, put it somewhere, then don't worry about removing parts you don't need, since you'll have a backup... Clean up the file a little removing duplicates and then we'll work on the buttons etc... ;) dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126141 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:26:59 +0000 dewijones67 1126141@http://wordpress.org/support/ if it is, is it possible to make the buttons transparant as they are obscuring an image? dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126139 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:24:51 +0000 dewijones67 1126139@http://wordpress.org/support/ sorry plus - the wrapper (if thats what its called has two tone's in it - is this due to the buttons have a different Hex no. to the backing image? If so How do we put this right please.....! I really can't thank you enough for this...!

Its pushed the sidebars out to the edge - this is really frustrating...! Not sure if its due to the way I updated the css though as I tried to update each function it may of been better to just drop the code in at the end...? cheers t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126113 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:39:52 +0000 t31os_ 1126113@http://wordpress.org/support/ See my post above, if you make those changes it will fix the problem... You don't need that splash, we just have to update the CSS to accomodate it not being there... don't worry... just update the lines as posted above. dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126105 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:34:45 +0000 dewijones67 1126105@http://wordpress.org/support/ it still has the Splash function: #splash { width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; height: 150px; in the css file - I think this code is the one that keeps the lower banner in position - it was where the original header was...? Maybe...? t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126102 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:33:21 +0000 t31os_ 1126102@http://wordpress.org/support/ Update or add CSS.. (as appropriate) <pre><code>#wrapper {margin:0 auto} #header {padding:150px 0 0 0;height:auto;margin:0 auto} #page {padding:0;margin:10px 0}</code></pre> If any problems still, just post back, we can tweak more if necessary... dewijones67 on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126086 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:16:32 +0000 dewijones67 1126086@http://wordpress.org/support/ Sorry - its moved the banners around...? cheers t31os_ on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126081 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:10:38 +0000 t31os_ 1126081@http://wordpress.org/support/ Yes that would be this bit.. <code><div id="splash"><img src="http://www.newporthigh.co.uk/wp-content/themes/pamphlet/images/img02.gif" alt="">&nbsp;</div></code> Find the div with the id splash in the header.php of your theme and remove it, since you don't need it.. trinkel on "Header Image Problem - not visible" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/286327#post-1126079 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 18:09:37 +0000 trinkel 1126079@http://wordpress.org/support/ Thanks to you all.

Could you have a look at in Chrome or IE as there is (sorry for the crap terminology) but, there is a logo which shows an image cannot be read sitting over top left hand corner of the banner?

Did you change something, because the header image is now there..? :)
