Another Update to Mimbo 2.1
November 12, 2007 ( 7 )
If you are having problems displaying your author picture, it’s because the image-path is incorrect. In single.php, this line…
<img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/mimbo2/images/
…should be…
<img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.1/images/
Sorry about the confusion. The .ZIP has been updated. I will have a better system of preventing this in the future.

Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you just use:
php bloginfo(’template_url’)
to define the path to the directory of the theme? That way people can change the name of their theme folder without messing up any tags in the theme.

Sorry, it would end up looking like this (hopefully the code will post):
<img src=”<?php echo get_option(’home’); ?>/images/”></img>
oops, messed up last comment, sorry Darren :-)
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(’template_url’); ?>/images/”>
@Nathan: that’s exactly what I wanted to do (”I will have a better system of preventing this in the future”) for the next release. It should have been there for this release, but I was on the fence about how to handle upgrading the theme, not having done it like this before. Hindsight is 20/20 ;) The template_url will come in handy next time - thanks.
I’m using this amazing theme for my new blog, and I want to “customize” it a little. I’m trying to put a big navigation purposes image in header.php
What I did was simply this:
id=”home”>
textextextext
/”>
In that section of code, between
and i inserted the following:
textextextext
And well, hoping to see the large header (just a test header) when I browse the page, the image appears, and then, suddenly disappears! Like a ghost or something D=. But the “textextextext” I put after the image code stays.
And well… I don’t know what to do, all my methods of trying to put an image up there doesn’t work D=
The image should appear above the title and the search bar, and inside the white area of the page.
I don’t know almost anything of coding and I’m doing this on dreamweaver, but, if you could let me a hand with this, I will be really grateful =D
I love this theme and have it on my blog right now @ http://www.dot-chris.com .
Only I have modded some of the core including the template url method and made all static sidebar into a widget so i could place as needed. I also integrated some winter theme items into it and it looks great!
Thanks,
Chris
