Change of images

[twiggy]

Should be an easy question to answer for someone.....

I have installed some new temps to have a look how they fit in with my site, there is one i realy like called fluidity...

Now the problem is I havechanged the hedder image in the templete so it has my site logo on it....

I uplloaded the new file to wb/templates/fluidity/ (excat same path, file name and file type)...

But when i refrech the browser nothing changes?

Any ideas?

So ... you changed the file hdr.gif in the template folder right? This file is loaded as a background image. Where did you actually store the changed file?

cheers

I uploaded it to /templates/fluidity/hdr.gif

I overwrite the orignal with my version of the iamge but nothing changes

Try following:

Admin Panel - Settings - "show advanced options" - "reload addons" - reload templates ...
If this does not work, can you give me a link to this site so I can load it to have a look at it?

cheers

Are you shure the file on your host is overwritten with the newone?

You maybe run in the following known rights problematik of wb. You installed your templates via admn interface of wb. So the owner of the files are the webserver and in normal case you have no rights tp overwrite them with ftp. Depending on your ftp programm you got an error or no error message for successfully uploading.

What can you do?
1. Easiest way is to zip the files (not the folder) from your change template and install it again. This updates the existing one with the new files.
2. If you wanna have permanent ftp access to all files of your template, uninstall the template, then ftp the unzipped files from the template in the directory wich is named in the info.php of the template and then activate the template with the reload addons tool wich you find at the advanced options of WB.

Hope this helps
