Hi there,
I have just installed the Connections-Reloaded theme and am hoping for great things with it. I went through every other theme before picking it.
However, I have an initial question (I am not a qualified techie, so forgive the terminology).
In the description of the theme it says that it supports customised banners. I have uploaded mine and adhered to the cropping requirements but there are still a pair of headlights at the base of my new header from the original, lol.
With limited knowledge I went into the CSS stuff and changed the height to 160 (instead of 147) but that made no difference.
Could someone have a quick look at the site www.getyourselfsaved.com - you will see the problem straight away and give me any feedback. thank you in advance for any help in this.
I realise I am being a bit of a perfectionist, but the theme IS so professional looking that it is a shame this one little thing is wrong with my site.
There is a further point - one of the little links at the bottom for "subscribe in ROJO" doesn't seem to be there. (Any advice?)
The last point - I would like to put a "Facebook" and "Myspace" link in that list too (again, any advice?)
Thank you all for any help whatsoever.
Bobby.

I dunno if this makes sense, but I see the entire theme out of place in both FF and IE. Can you check if all the files have been uploaded properly?

[Bobby]

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for replying.
When I FTP'd your theme, I was not able to upload the whole folder in one go and therefore had to upload each individual piece seperately. I don't know whether this could have made a difference. They did all upload though.
How would I be able to find out for you if they had not uploaded properly?
When you say it is all out of place, do you mean the whole site is wrong? It looks ok apart from the things I mentioned on my laptop.
Thanks for your help in this.
Bobby.

I can see your site properly now, may have been a temporary glitch. However, I still see the default tunnel picture.

Just realized, you're not using Connections Reloaded, but the original Connections

Ajay, I'm having the same problem Bobby outlined with the replacement of the header image.  I chose your theme via Dreamhost as one of the installed options offered (and obviously the one I liked best!  The color scheme is very appropriate for my site subject.).  Like Bobby, I am very new to WordPress.  Thanks in advance for your help.

What's the URL of your site?

Thanks for the compliment

Let me run a check here as well...I believe the theme may need a bit of editing wrt to the sizes of the banner

Hi Ajay

I have exactly the same issues in relation to updating the header image.

* Include your site url

http://livelyfish.com/wordpress/

* Include a detailed explanation of the problem

Looks like it may be due to the CSS positioning of http://example.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/connections-reloaded/img/train.jpg

Also train.jpg is just a touch too large - is 741 x 143 when should be 741 x 142

* What were you doing when you noticed the problem?

Changing my site from WordPress.com to WordPress.org. Header image change works OK using Connections theme on WordPress.com - see http://livelyfish.wordpress.com/

Notice you have identical issue at http://demoblog.ajaydsouza.net/

I get same problem in :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0. Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8
Internet Explorer Version: 7.0 5730.13

* Did you make any recent changes to your blog?

Changing my site from WordPress.com to WordPress.org.

Hope this info helps - Buzztone

Hi Ajay

I have fixed this on my site by doing the following:

http://example.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/connections-reloaded/style.css

#headimg {
   background: #7d8b5a url(img/train.jpg) center repeat-y;
   height: 142px;
   margin: 2 8px 0 0 10px; /* was margin: 2px 0 0 10px;  */
   width: 741px;
}
http://example.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/connections-reloaded/img/train.jpg

Changed size from 741 x 143 to 741 x 142

http://example.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/connections-reloaded/img/top.jpg

Remove background behind train.jpg

Working in both Mozilla and IE - see http://livelyfish.com/wordpress/

Hope this helps - Buzztone

Hey,

Thanks for the update. I'll put this fix into my testing. Let's see how that goes

[breakphreak]

can't get the header image replaced
here is the scenario, any help please?

1. Uploaded some image that was too big
2. Reuploaded the image with correct size - got the message that everything is okay and that the image will be used. Well, just getting a blank space instead.
3. Restored everything original - was okay.
4. Uploaded an image with the correct size - got the message that everything is okay. Still seen a blank space instead of the header image.

Moreover, the space is not completely blank, but at the bottom of the blank space there are kinda few pixels of the original image (kinda line of approximate size 10x700).

Also, I have inspected that after image replacement the HTML still refers the original train.jpg

If it all does not help - I could send to you in private the URL of my site (still under construction, don't want to make it googleable yet).

Thanks for the theme and for your time and help!

Send me a url in a PM

I to are new to wordpress and webpage design, and after searching through numerous themes decided that connection reload 2.1 looked like the one for me.. I am still in very early stages but have just been playing around with the custom header, I have uploaded a new image but it is still showing the old default one underneath it making it look very messy. How do I fix this.. Thanks in advance for your help. http://www.telcomadesimple.com.au/telcotalk/

Hi,

I need to look into this, there is a slight modification in the settings required. However, I haven't had much time yet to look into this.
