Forgive me if this is in here somewhere, but after extensive searching, I'm still not finding an answer.

Using Architecture- how do you get the background image (white smokey looking image) to show up in the header? After looking at a few threads, I found that template_css.php had a path of templates/hot_architecture/images/header_bg, however, no header_bg was in the images folder- only bg1, bg2, bg3, bg4 and bg5. I changed the template_css.php to bg1, still nothing.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Template uses image bg1-5 depending of selected style. Please rename your image to header_bg1.png and upload in /templates/hot_architecture/images folder (overwrite existing image). If it doesn't work, please give us your link.

Thank you so much for the quick response Milos!

Just for reference: I am using Joomla 1.6, Mac 10.6.8

The file name you are suggesting to rename and upload is already named header_bg1.png and it is already in the images folder.

Basically none of the header or footer images display no matter what style I select. The images are in the right location, they are named correctly, but they do not show up on the site.

I am developing locally, so a link won't help yet. I could include an image of what I have so far but I don't suppose that would help.

Thanks so much in advance!

Maybe you are targeting wrong images folder, for examlple joomla hase 3 folders named images
1. /images/
2. /administrator/images/
3. /templates/<your template name>/images/

Thanks Ivan. From what I can tell, it is targeted correctly: templates/hot-architecture/images/header_bg1.png

I looked at the template_css.php file and that is where it is pointed. Is there another file to set the target I am missing? Did I not set some parameter correctly in template manager?

Thanks!
