   Hi,

   My blog http://www.whitedovegifts.nl/blog (ver. 2.6.5) has a custom built theme made by a designer. When I wanted to change the permalink structure to /categoryname/postname it messed up the header and sidebar.

   The culprit behind this is that the designer had to create an images folder in the root with non-background images (like the logo), otherwise those images won't show.

   Does anyone know a solution or workaround for this? Any help would be appreciated.

   regards,
   Nico

   Hello whitedovegifts,

   You should use php to link to the Theme Directory's image folder - like this:
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/images/headerbg.png">

   Hi Joe.

   Thanks for posting this. I too have the same problem. Can you tell me where to put this? I'm not a web programmer but have adjusted by WordPress Plainscape theme (on advice of author) and it works fine only if I use a Default permalink.

   My blog is http://www.outsideincredible.com/blog

   Here is my STYLE.CSS code
   -------------------------
   #header {
   background:url('http://www.outsideincredible.com/blog/wp-content/themes/plainscape/images/blogheader.gif') no-repeat top left;
   margin: 0 20px;
   padding: 30px 0 90px;
   }

   This seems to be the relevant section from HEADER.PHP
   ------------------------------------------------------

   <div id="header">
   <h1>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
   <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
   </div>

   Thanks. Tom
