That topic unfortunately doesn’t mention anything about a Child Theme.
Modifications to themes’ files will erase once the theme updates.
I would re-do that thread’s image solution but within a Child Themed environment.
Sorry that may have been the wrong support post, i have this set up in a child theme which still exists however since the update the child theme is no longer active, how can i get the child theme to work again?

Is there still an option to activate it within the dashboard?
Its still active through Appearance > Themes
Sorry i wasn’t very clear, by ‘no longer Active’ i ment its no longer working.
Below is my child themes code (which worked fine before the 3.5 update)
@charset "UTF-8";

Try replacing that code with this;
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
/*

It also seems like you’re missing an @import code line, to grab the parent theme’s CSS.
Pasted your code still no luck, how do i add an @import code line?

Codex’ Child Theme guide provides a nice example of how your style.css file should look like http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme
Me Too! None of my images show up since update to 3.5. I’m a newby and I don’t understand Andrew Nevins’ suggestions about child themes.
I’ve been struggling with this for a month now. Could I get some (simple to understand) help, please? http://www.critnick.com
Thanks for your help, i had to activate the Parent Theme which solved the problem,

Ahh i spoke to soon! When i activated the parent theme it had just changed the header to one which had the logo on already, but i need the logo to hyperlink to the home page.
I just tried this code still no luck

This sounds like something you need to add in your Child Theme (therefore activate the Child Theme again) header.php file.
Can you use PasteBin to hold your header.php code, then link us the PasteBin’d page?
Yes i can, i just signed up and pasted the code how can i share the page with you?
