jp612 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi all. I've got a bit of trouble with wordpress im trying to change the overall look of the theme... what i tried to do was change the header_top.gif to a new one i designed. I went into the style.css and changed #headline p { background:url(img/headline_top.gif) no-repeat left top; padding:26px 15px 22px; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; margin:0; line-height:100%; text-align:center; }^M to #headline p { background:url(img/new-headline_top.gif) no-repeat left top; padding:26px 15px 22px; font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; margin:0; line-height:100%; text-align:center; }^M i saved and reloaded the page however nothing has changed. then i renamed the default headline_top.gif to see if there would be a error but when i reloaded it was still unchanged. Whats going on? Any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 your code looks like it is fine... You have a link to the site you are working with? Maybe it's something else, other than that specific line in the CSS. You sure you placed your new image in the correct location/uploaded it if you are working on a site that is online?

jp612 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 No im designing the website offline and i wont be able to get it on the internet very easily... I'm using the monochrome theme and i haven't done much to it so far. I just realized, i think i changed a completely different image than what i want but i cant see any change. *click on preview this will give you the chance to right-click -> view background image. If you do that you can see that the image is a tiny bit of the top of the website under the header. which wasn't the image i changed. I't looks like the header doesn't have a image to it rather it being the whole background colour of the website. could i add a variable to the style sheet defining how the background should look without changing the whole background of the website?

Yes, you should be able to do this. I'm still not completely sure what image you need changed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp612 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ahh yes! i have found the div "header" in the stylesheet and i am able to change its colour. Nearly there!! If you follow the previous link and click preview on the right you will get a sort-of interactive preview where you can go to the top bit (where the top menu is) right click ->view background image. and you will see a little design of the website. when i changed the colour this little bit was cut off here is a screenshot of it notice the cut off bit is the background image. How can i add my background and keep the little design thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
