failed to load URL

    I am new to wordpress and recently installed a theme from Christian Templates online. I have been working on the site on localhost and have changed images like the logo, background, and wrappers. Everything works great on local host and I am able to view all new/replacement images in the wp-content/images folder. A few days ago I moved the site to my godaddy server and now some of the images are not showing.

    I am using firebug and I see a “failed to load URL” error for the images. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix.

    thanks,

    Lorenzo

    I’d log into GoDaddy and make sure all of your theme files are there. After that, you’ll want to check and make sure that your files have the correct permissions. Read through this article for how they should be:

    image url’s get hard coded
    you will need to do a search and replace from localhost to domain url

    ah yes, samboll, good call. That is definitely going to be the cause.

    Thanks guys for the quick responses.

    Samuel I ran the search and replace and found several instances where I needed to change from localhost to domain url but the images still didn’t show. I was able to get the logo to show after changing the name. The original name of the logo in the template was logo.png and I created a new logo and named it sfcfm-logo.png. When I renamed the logo and background image they appeared. There still a couple images that are still not showing though.

    Is there a naming convention I should be using when using themes? Is there method I should be do when adding to images folder that wasn’t integrated in the original theme and using CSS to display those images?
