Man, am I a happy camper, Bojan!

Thanks again, and enjoy your weekend, too!

All the best from Jarle

Problem solved!

Turned out the entry box in theme options hade to be dragged wider, in order to prevent code from breaking in two lines.

My bad.

Thanks a lot all the same — and a very good weekend to all!

I seem to have the same problem with the front page’s “mid-section-ads”.
The front-page.php <div> reads:

<div class="mid-section-ads">
                            <?php echo $profitmag_settings['mid_section_ads']; ?>
                        </div>

and

<?php else: ?>
            <div class="mid-section-ads">
                <a href="#" ><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri().'/images/demo/analog-camera-photography-rolleicord-3832.jpg' ?>"/></a>
            </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

while the stylesheet reads:

.mid-section-ads img{
	width: 100%;
}

I fail to see any discrepancies, and yet the (correctly formatted) image fails to show up.

Also I seem to have the same problem with the header ad, even when header.php and stylesheet are formatted according to above suggestions.

Any idea is most welcome (as the site launches in hours).

Cheers,
Jarle

Hello again Bojan, I’m only too grateful for any assistance, and you’ve been a gem in that respect!

I have, however, encountered a new problem, while attemtping to insert ads in the Theme Options module, which reads “Please insert the image of size 790X90px” (for instance).

Have tried both <img src=”https://hsmai-europe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/790X90.png”&gt;, (also with height/width attributes included, which results in broken image icon on site) and just file name (https://hsmai-europe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/790X90.png), resulting in file name as text.

Is a dedicated ad management plugin required here (used AdRotate in old theme, which is still installed and activated)?

Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks a million once more!

All the best from Jarle

Thanks a million, Bojan, you’re a true champ!

That actually did the trick. I am much obliged for your swift – and very helpful – respons.

Thank you so much!

Terrific! Works just fine here.

Now for a somewhat sillier question, as I know I should be able to find it, if I only tested enough CSS alternatives:

How do I fill the remaining gap (once the related posts column is gone), when using Featured images (that resize to fit a post WITH – now gone – related posts column)?

Cheers,
Jarle

Hi right back at you, Beckyhunter,

Thanks a lot. It eventually dawned on me, that very same day, that it all came down to that.

I have been reluctant to update WP manually, as the site is installed by way of Fantastico Delux (don’t remember the exact spelling), which doesn’t yet provide the latest WP version, but found that I just had to give in.

Funny though, that no warning was issued (seeing as I wasn’t the only one to experience this problem, apparently).

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Jarle

@esmi: Thanks a million, that did the trick! Although I’m stuck with the Twenty Eleven theme, of course, but I expect a fix for Oxygen is due any minute (as I suspect the problem affects all Oxygen users).

Thank again!

@justinthedesigner: The problem is long since solved, but it appears that the theme works differently over at wordpress.com, where making posts sticky is a prerequisite for making posts/images appear as featured.

Seeing as I’m using it on a selv-hosted blog, that requirement no longer applies, so I made unchecked the posts that I’d made sticky (“un-sticked” them).

@sonic1243: Thanks a lot once more. Well waddayaknow… “Un-sticking” the post did the trick – although the image comes out huge, as can be expected with that kind of original. I’ll find a way around that, I expect.

Thank you ever so much again. I’ve been trying to get my head around that one for a couple of days (especially as the theme documentation explicitly instructs us to make all slide featured posts sticky).

@sonic1243: Thanks a bundle for your kind response. It too went for the Front Page template, as the Showcase template, described on the theme documentation page (se below) seems absent:

The Showcase Page template offers a featured slider for Sticky Posts. To use the template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page.

Even so, and with the Front Page page (that I created, using the Front page template) set as static front page, with sticky posts, located as Featured, and more than ample (featured) image size, nothing apears on the front, save for two empty text holders.

To my knowledge, I’ve done everything entirely “by the book”.

I have the same problem with a freshly installed wp 3.0 installation. The Elastic plugin installs and works nicely, but won’t save the themes.

Did anyone eventually come up with a solution?

Am extremely anxious to get started. ??

I have exactly the same problem with a fresh WP 2.8 installation.

Images won’t upload, either by using the flash uploader or the browser uploader.

WP should create the /uploads/ directory, and children, such as /2009/07/, by itself, right? Well it doesn’t, and I’ve made sure to set the parent directory’s permissions to 777, too (and not).

Suggestions much appreciated.

Thx!

Thx, samboll,

I’ve done that, too — repeatedly, but obviously, that’s not the problem. I should add that file upload functionality, as well as tagging is deactivated. Seemingly.

As luck has it, this is a fairly new installation, allowing for retrieval of the sparse number of posts and pages (by copying html mode content into notepad or similar) and de-installation followed by 2.6.2 installation from scratch — via Fantastico. After all, all theme related CSS and php changes are stored locally.

Thanks a lot again.
