i think i cleared my cache correctly then.. :s – thanks a lot for the help! if i get to put this code all online i can give you access to work on it i suppose.. (if you would like that, it’s by no means necassary)
– ill try to disable the cache in the wp_setttings file..

i think i can work around it if i know how to adjust the size of the main column?

here’s the image of how it looks now: https://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=86099516&size=o

as you can see at the top, there’s still some of the kubrickbg.png file – if could get it to display a little lower, and that personalheader.png stays on the same place, it would be ok visually. (i mean for my purposes – ofcourse this is just a fooling around design ;))- unfortunately i don’t know where i can adjust the size of that.. (my css skills aren’t that developed :))

it’s not optimal how its coded then i presume, but it would work, and that’s the most important now.

in any case: many thanks!

how can i be certain i clear my cache with firefox? i thought i did that several times already.

i did what you suggested: the flower-background disappeared etc, only the kubrickheader.jpg file still displayed..

yeah, i know it’s quite hard.. sorry i can’t make you access my machine/the code

i posted the html it generates here:
https://pastebin.com/504112

the code of header.php is here:
https://pastebin.com/504113

here’s a jpg of the result.

i don’t get it.. – there’s no reference to the kubrickheader.jpg and still it’s displayed ??

it displays the image correctly, but it still displays kubrickheader.jpg – so it’s quite useless for my transparent effect ??

also if i erase this line:
#header { background: url(“https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.gif”) no-repeat bottom center; }

it doesn’t make any difference at all.. still displaying the jpg file. is there any other reference in another css file perhaps?

thanks anyway.. it’s nice of you to help!

I think i disabled the cache because i had installation problems – maybe that has something to do with it? after logging in i had alwas a blank screen so i defined something about the cache in the login file. (i forgot what it was – i could look it up though)

the source from the header according to my browser:


<style type="text/css" media="screen">

/* To accomodate differing install paths of WordPress, images are referred only here,

and not in the wp-layout.css file. If you prefer to use only CSS for colors and what

not, then go right ahead and delete the following lines, and the image files. */

body { background: url("https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg"); }

#page { background: url("https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }

#header { background: url("https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.gif") no-repeat bottom center; }

#footer { background: url("https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickfooter.jpg") no-repeat bottom; border: none;}

/* Because the template is slightly different, size-wise, with images, this needs to be set here

If you don't want to use the template's images, you can also delete the following two lines. */

#header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }

#headerimg { margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }

/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,

that you simply drop in an image called 'personalheader.jpg' into your /images/

directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will

get cropped off of the image. */

/*

#headerimg { background: url('https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg') no-repeat top;}

*/

it definitly displays kubrickheader.jpg though – when i delet kubrickheader from the images folder, it displays nothing at all..
+ i checked by clearing internetfiles/cookies/etc in iexplore, and it doenst really help..

i don’t know where else i should change kubrickheader.jpg to the gif one?

im doing it on my local computer, just testing – the site that is referred in my user profile is not yet up yet ?? – im mainly testing/learning how to use wordpress right now.

it’s a completely fresh wordpress install.. so i don’t know what could be wrong with it – if i rename my own header to kubrickheader.jpg one, it does change.. (but i need the gif capabilities)..
