Tom,

It could be the way your Theme is setup. Can you post a link to one of your images so I can see the path?

Thanks,
Justin

I've tried multiple images.

I do not have connectivity to upload online (overseas) and have setup an offline environment to develop my wordpress site for now.

It is located locally for me at http://localhost/wordpress and all images are uploaded via the media admin page. The image link uses the date and time format as subdirectories within my localhost. I copy and paste this path into the OptionTree background image field, and save my settings.

When I reload the page (including multiple browsers and utilizing a cache wipe) the image does not show and a gray background remains.

I am wondering if it is a path issue. What else can I do to troubleshoot my problem? I've checked in my media settings to see that the default date/time path is checked - so that is accurate, but is the path I'm using redirecting the actual path in use?
I read somewhere that this could be the case.

Please help! I'd love to start moving forward with this theme. Let me know what else I can do to help you help me given the poor connectivity circumstances.

Tom

There could be a background image issue. Have you tried uploading a different image to see if that works?

Also - please post a link so I can take a look!

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

I am enjoying the theme! I am currently working with an offline environment to develop my wordpress theme. Blog images and the logo are having no issues showing. I have uploaded a background image to the media library. I've taken the image's path and applied it to the OptionTree panel's background image URL. I continue to see a silver background in all of my posts/pages/entries. I have tried multiple paths, I have refreshed caches and tried in multiple browsers.

What could the problem be?
