Ok – Im going to have to start over.
I went back to my original demo site…ran the wordpress update and the Opulus theme update.
The newest version of this theme – the banners work quite differently…I think that might be the source of some confusion here (and the code may well be broken!)
So – I was able to get the above header.php code edit to work – but it still didn’t display quite right. Shows the image too small and in an IFRAME or something…but this is after running the theme upgrade.
And, after running the theme upgrade I still have the older theme options page (with the broken CSS navigation where the links dont quite display right)
Maybe theres something screwy going on the database side.
Two sites – identical software, same server…different results.(Theme options page)
Maddening!
