• Hi to all.
    New today to the Forum. No pretty much, next to nothing about WP but need to get a few things fix until I can get my head around it all.
    Using the Elegance theme but seemed to have made changes i can’t fix.
    1. Have a graphic missing on the home page. Tells me invalid image, and I don’t remember doing anything to it.
    2. Lost the items under the services banner. Need to re-connect them
    3. If changing themes, can we download a new one and work on it until its ready to launch, but still keep the old one running until then ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    It is always recommended the to create child theme rather perfroming direct modificaitons in theme. If you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.

    It would be a great help if you share your website name.

    3. If changing themes, can we download a new one and work on it until its ready to launch, but still keep the old one running until then ?

    You can download new copy of theme and make its child theme to perform modifications. Until you are done with the modifications, you can keep old running.

    Thanks you for the reply.
    The page was set up with a child theme attached.
    Website is https://www.thebodycare.com.au

    In changing themes, I mean – can we download a completely different theme and work on it until it is done. Then activate it when it ready ?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I could see that image source for the slider is:

    https://thebodycare.com.au/2015/wp-content/themes/elegance/lib/scripts/timthumb/thumb.php?src=https://thebodycare.com.au/2015/wp-content/themes/elegance/images/assets/invalid_image.png&w=960&h=460&zc=1&q=100

    I believe slider is displaying default image because it could not load/find the slider images. Please make sure following:

    All images do exist
    Images are not too small to be displayed on slider
    Images path are correct.

    In changing themes, I mean – can we download a completely different theme and work on it until it is done. Then activate it when it ready ?

    Yes, it is absolutely possible.

    Thanks,

    Thanks again
    The images were loaded by the maker of the pages but something has happened in the change over of Admin.
    When I look in Pages, I don’t see the slider image/s, only the information below “Home”.

    Where are the images kept ?
    I’ve looked in Pages, Elagance and sub folders, & Appearance

    Thanks in advance
