Theme can not load images

[hungrysquirrel]

I can not seem to unravel this mystery. I uploaded a new image inside my roots/img/my_image.png

I get 404's on the image (my_image.png) when I try to use it in my theme. The other two images in that folder by default (glyphicons) load fine.

Please include:

• URL of your WP install
• URL of the 404 image file
• How you're including/referencing the image in your code

Thanks for having a look,

blog.estately.com

404 image http://blog.estately.com/img/estately_logo.png

working image example http://blog.estately.com/img/glyphicons-halflings.png

I tried the following in the header.php img src="http://www.blog.estately.com/img/estately_logo.png" img src="img/estately_logo.png"

And in my CSS background: url("../img/estately_logo.png") no-repeat 0 0;

Since your WP install is at the root of your subdomain, it's easier/safer to just use "/img/whatever.jpg".

Notice the leading /

So:

src="/img/estately_logo.png"

background: url("/img/estately_logo.png") no-repeat 0 0;

Tried this with the basic img tag img src="/img/estately_logo.png" width="243" https://skitch.com/hungrysquirrel/8kp87/estately-blog

in CSS this also is not working background: url("/img/estately_logo.png") no-repeat 0 0;

Still 404's

Well, here's how the bootstrap images are referenced:

background-image:url("../img/glyphicons-halflings.png")

If that image works, and your img file is in the same directory, and you reference it the same way in your CSS, then it should work.

I tried this already. https://github.com/retlehs/roots/issues/343#issuecomment-4525457 using the background property.

Also fails background-image: url("../img/estately_logo.png");

This is very odd to me. The site only works now because I call in a remote image from our domain :(

[swalkinshaw]

I know you already tried it. My point was that there's no reason it shouldn't work if the glyphicons-halflings image is working.

@swalkinshaw Sorry. Hope I didn't frustrate you. Any recommendations? Guess I can try seeing up a sandbox install. Obviously it's not a widespread issue which is good for the project and sad for me.

[swalkinshaw]

I'm sure you're the one who's frustrated with it not working so don't worry about me.

You could try commenting out this line: https://github.com/retlehs/roots/blob/master/functions.php#L18

Then delete your .htaccess file and make sure it regenerates. After that, the /img/ rewrite won't work so try accessing the image normally through the full theme url. See if that works.

Thanks swalkinshaw, commenting out that line worked for me as I was also having the same problem, but what could be causing it?

[retlehs]

permalinks needed to be flushed? .htaccess missing the rewrites for /img/ and the rest?

please post on http://groups.google.com/group/roots-theme if you still have issues
