You’ve verified that this is the correct path to the file via FTP?
Yeah this isn’t the correct path. It’s some path that doesn’t exist.
I thought you had answered your own question …
You gave a link that returns a 404, and then confirmed that the file is indeed not in that location. What else is there to fix?
Well this particular link is getting a decent amount of hits and I would rather people get redirected to the home page rather than these. Is there a way to do that?
This only appears to an issue within this particular theme. Is there a fix? If so, can you guys provide a couple of steps for a fix, without being cryptic.
The image is being called from this file: /themes/GameHub/Menu/MenuMatic.css on line 48.
/* Parent Sub Menu Links —[javascript users only]*/
.subMenuParentBtn {
background: url(../img/arrow_right.gif) right center no-repeat;
Just remove the reference or supply the image in/GameHub/img/
Well this particular link is getting a decent amount of hits
It gets called because it’s supposed to be part of the drop down menu, but because the image doesn’t exist, it always shows a 404 in your logs
Ah, that makes sense. I’ll fix that and see if it properly addresses the issue. I swear this theme, while awesome in a lot of errors has some very messy code in others.
Well it looks like that should have fixed the issue. I’ll wait an hour or so just to make sure that it’s fixed for good.
I removed those lines from the CSS and it still looks like people are still hitting the 404 page.
I would do a .htaccess redirect at this point.
Redirect 301 /wp-content/themes/GameHub/img/arrow_right.gif http://whatevertherightURLis
Slap that in ABOVE the call to WordPress and it’ll seamlessly redirect.
If you want to give it a try (and I say try, because I don’t know how extensive the mods are on the menu for your theme) here is a link to a download for MenuMatic. http://greengeckodesign.com/menumatic
The download link is all the way at the end of the page.
In that download, located inside the /examples/vertical/img directory, you will find the missing images. Just a thought, mind you. Maybe worth a try if you are so inclined.
Obviously change http://whatevertherightURLis to whatever the RIGHT URL really is 😉 But yes, that will redirect everything.
Or you can put a copy of the image in /wp-content/themes/GameHub/img/
