Is it possible you have those mixed up in your post?
The image doesn’t appear on the first site, but works on the second.
I’m unsure which image you’re referring to on the ghanalandords site.
You absolutely should NOT be modifying the default theme files – you will lose all your changes when the theme is updated AND it’s crucial to have a clean copy of the default theme for troubleshooting. You need to go back and make a child theme and make any modifications there – see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
@jholder83864 – it is a different image on the first site but of a similar size.
@wpyogi – just having problems with setting up the child theme which is why i edited the default. I take your point tho and will try again. Do you see any problems with my code above at all.
cheers
Yes, it is a serious problem to modify the default theme – sorry to persist but we get too many people here who have created a big mess for themselves by doing just that. You need to go back and make a child theme – if you need help with it, people here are happy to help you with it.
@ WPyogi
ok i did follow the instruction of the link you provided but it changes the site layout. I am not sure what i did wrong but when i try to create a child theme this is always the result i get.
http://www.ghanalandlords.com/
this is the information in my child theme.
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child
Theme URI: http://www.ghanalandlords.com/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http://www.ghanalandlords.com/
Template: twentytwelve
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../twentytwelve/style.css”);
.site-header { position: relative; padding-top: 100px; }
.header-ads { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 30px; width: 100%; text-align: center; }
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.site-header { position: relative; padding-top: 1.71429rem; }
.header-ads { position: absolute; left: auto; right: 0; top: 30px; text-align: right; max-width: 70%; }
}
It’s not set up properly – start again and follow the instructions in the linked page above. Do not use all caps for the chile theme folder, do not use spaces in the same. Make sure the files structure is correct – the child theme goes on the same level as all other themes, make sure you have ONLY the style.css file in the child theme and ONLY the required top section to start with:
/*
Theme Name: Twentytwelve Child
Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve theme
Author: Your name here
Template: twentytwelve
*/
@import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
there you go. i knew i could do it. THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH.
Now is there any chance you could help me with the code pls?

YAY! Excellent – now just move the CSS code you added to the parent into the child theme so that it’s safely there and won’t get overwritten.
@ WPyogi – Just wanted to say thank you. I would like to buy you a beer but don’t know how.
THANK YOU.
Virtual beer is fine 🙂 Thanks! I’d recommend that you make the other site into a valid child themes as well. You also need to move any modified .php files into the child theme too. Now you’re safe to change files and keep WP updated – which is really important since it can involve security and compatibility issues.
