StudioPress Lifestyle 4.0 Help, PLEASE!

Hi Fred -

I looked at your source code and saw the URL's for your images as for example .com/images/11.jpg and tried to bring them up in my browser, no luck. Just get a 404 not found message.

Just in case I also tried .com/wp-content/themes/lifestyle_40/images/11.jpg with didn't display anything. That's where you have your favicon image that does show in the upper left of my browser window.

I did this by right clicking on your page and the selecting "view page source" and searching for your image links.

Without actually going into your account and looking around with my FTP client I can't see if the folder with your images is there, in the wrong place, or missing.

If you want me to I will be happy to check it out for you but I'll need your log in details. If you do let me know. You don't have many posts so I'm not sure if you can PM me. You can try by just left clicking on my user name and select "Send me a PM". If you can't PM, reply here and I'll shoot a PM with my email address. Just let me know. I'll be in and out of the forum all day.

Hi Fred

Just sent you a PM.

Really from what I see there are only a few things that can be possible wrong, your image folder location, or your images are not titled correctly in your image folder.

I cant really think of anything else that would be wrong. Unless there is some css coding issue that you have tied to them, considering they each have an assigned class.

Did you ever figure this out?

The page is showing your other images, such as your repeating background nav bar ect.......

Hi Fred

I just got through checking out what I had access to and I am emailing you back.

Hey Steve Wells, Thanks for joining in we may need your help. I only know so much and I'm glad you offered to join in the fun.

Hi Steve

I believe you have the email that came to me and I replied back to Fred.

Fred, What is needed is the username and password you use to log in to your hosting account, i.e. for FTP access

If you what to create a new separate FTP account you can do it like this.

I checked out your hosting company so I know you have cPanel.
So login into your cPanel and go down until you see the Files section.
Click on FTP Accounts
Enter a Username (anything will do)
Enter a password
Enter it again
-- next is directory
use - /public_html/
quota - default is unlimited but it doesn't matter leave it unlimited

that should be all you need to do. It's ready to go and after you can delete it or just change the password and keep it for a just in case moment.

Hi Fred

That's fine. It sounds like he knows what to look for so I don't have a problem with it. Just want to solve the mystery and get your site straightened out. I'm just hoping the images are there. I have to crash out for a few hours but I'll be around later this afternoon. See if Steve has found out anything by then.

With your theme I think it has 2 themes working as one, Genesis in like the foundation and Lifestyle is what dresses it up. Both will look like separate themes in the themes folder and each has it's own folders and files. The Lifestyle theme should be active and when you add stuff it gets added to the Lifestyle folders not Genesis. It just may be that the images folder was put in the Genesis folder instead of the Lifestyle folder. But viewing the page source your image links are not pointing that far in they say .com/images/11.jpg which means as soon as you enter your top level folder for this site there should be a folder named "images". I'll check back after I catch a few Z's.

Ok Steve

If your going to search by entering cPanel and using the file manager just use worldofwarcraftdungeon.com/cpanel/ the login with present its self

If you entering via ftp just enter worldofwarcraftdungeon.com for the site and enter the username and password click go.

Either way should get you there. I prefer ftp but that's what I use the most.

Hey Fred, from what I can see the images that you want to display are not in the images folder. Do you have them laying around on your computer drive somewhere? If so, can you send them to me via my email that you have been using?

If what I am seeing, actually not seeing, is the case, then all we need to do is reload your image files back into the image folder for the theme you are using.

Steve

Sorry I just got back I had missed a lot of sleep this week and once I got to sleep the alarms I had set didn't wake me up. Any way where do we stand at this point.

So Steve, you found the images folder but the images are not there.

Fred, do you have a copy of the images on you computer, I'm thinking that because some one else moved the site to your hosting you might not have them. I saw above in your first comment that the person that transferred the site wouldn't help.
Was the person that transferred the blog to your hosting the same person you got the blog from. If not person you got the blog from may still have a copy of the images and may be willing to give them to you.

Update:
Fred, I just sent you some info via email I didn't want to post here

So, what is the existing image url you are adding to the custom key value field?

Because you said you uploaded the image(s) to your host, so if you put the right path/url into the custom key value... it should work.

Not really bizarre...

Whatever you did, something over-writes your path. Maybe your theme???

Why don't you ever look at the source of your page?
It is looking for the image here:
Searching for the image at /images/1jpg.

The / at the beginning means = go to the root and find the images folder.

EDIT. And no, not even in the post is the image there:

Update... StudioPress tells me theme support is nontransferable, but I can purchase a support package or contract with an approved designer.

Hi Fred -

I see you haven't got any images showing yet. What's the poop on this.

I just sent you 2 emails. One with some search URLs that have images you can use without getting in trouble. They have use rights. The 2nd I found some posts from the suspended website of the person you got your site from. I saved them and sent them to you to read. They are talking about this image problem and what they say the fix is. Is it valid info, I don't know, but I thought I'd pass it on to you.

Hi John,

WOW! Thank you for your help. I'll let you know what happens later today (hopefully).

Take care,

Fred

John,

Again, thank you for ALL the fantastic research and information.

I did as she instructed, but again, to no avail - still NO images.

Take care,

Fred

Hi Fred -

I noticed this uses "timthumb.php" so you need to make sure tools/cache directory (folder) on your server (in your WordPress folders) is writable. The permission should be set to 777.

Hi Fred -

I just sent you another email about the tools/cache 777 permissions and some code I added that was missing. I commented in the code to show the change and sent you documentation of what I did.

Greetings John,

I made the various changes that you described in your email, but still no thumbnail image. Nevertheless, I sincerely thank you for ALL the research and information you've provided.

Take care,

Fred
