More woes after 2.2.1 upgrade

[boldbelvoir 1]

The upgrade broke my features which, after much mtrial and error, I managed to fix. However, I cannot get the homepage to disply its inividual background image. I have re-uploaded the file several times, made sure it is there in ftp, saved meta, republished the page, cleared cach, tried a different machine, all to no avail. The page persists in showing the global background image used throughout the site. Any ideas?

[Jenny 33]

Can you provide us with an example of a page that's working and a page that's not? And also provide us with the link to the background that's supposed to be showing on that page, as well as a screenshot of the page's PageLines settings at the bottom.

The upgrade wiped out my Features background images as well. I had to reupload one by one. That did work for me.

Hi Reinbergs, So are you saying that after you updated to 2.2.1, your feature slider images were no longer present ? I haven't encountered that issue or even heard of anyone mention that before, is assumption correct ?

simple_mama the global page background is here: http://www.justbeermicropub.biz/wp-content/uploads/top-band.png which is what I am getting on the home page, even thhough the homepage settings point to: http://www.justbeermicropub.biz/wp-content/uploads/home-bg.png Screenshot of homepage settings attached. Template for homepage is Template | 1, template for all other pages is Default.[img]http://www.justbeermicropub.biz/gallery/screenshot.jpg[/img]

I don't think the template is at issue here. Try setting the vertical to 0 and selecting a repeat option.

rangelone Tried that, several different combinations, with no result.

One newbie question ( me ) The image is upload on [b]http://www.justbeermicropub.bizr/wp-content/uploads/home-bg1.png[/b] the directory should not be [b]http://www.justbeermicropub.bizr/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/home-bg1.png [/b] It??s the same, because if I upload a image, the framework puts it in a directory ....year/month

[Rob 547]

Good point Batman. How did you upload the image Boldbelvoir? Via FTP or via the image uploader built into WP? The latter will provide a URL for the image just as Batman suggested (with the year/month). Thanks Batman!

I uploaded through the PageLines interface, and it's located in /uploads. As I already stated, I have checked the location in ftp. It uploads to that directory as I've chosen not to upload to date directories in WordPress settings.

Hi, Just so were on the right page, you have this: set as your default background - http://www.justbeermicropub.biz/wp-content/uploads/top-band.png with set as your background for your home page - http://www.justbeermicropub.biz/wp-content/uploads/home-bg.png Is this correct ? If so, can you disable all active plug-ins and see if this resolves your problem. As I have just tested this on one of my test sites and when I set a background on PageLines Meta Settings, the background image displays correctly on that page.

[boldbelvoir 1]

Hi Danny, yes those paths are correct. I already tried disabling all plugins and it makes no difference.

Hi, OK as I am unable to recreate this error. Would it be possible for you to install an application call Jing, its free and allows you to take screenshots as well as record your your screen. Once installed, can you record all the steps you take to receive this error. Once I can see it happening first hand, we should be able to assist you. http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html Once you create a recording, it gives you the option to upload it to your personal screencast space and add a shortlink to your clipboard, provide us a this link so we can review the issue please.

Hello again I have now uploaded a video to http://screencast.com/t/qvoLWQcnqfC Thanks

@boldbelvoir At the top of you wp-admin when you are editing your page, there is a "Screen Options" tab. Pull that down and check "Custom Fields". Under the Visual Editor you should now see a bunch of custom fields, one is going to be labeled: [b]page_background_image_url[/b] Like this: http://screencast.com/t/c8WPzJfHI What is in the box?

Hi, I am unable to reproduce your issue, so its very difficult to assist you. As I have just successfully uploaded your image to my test site and have your background image working - http://screencast.com/t/jku7LjyfFJGD Also like mentioned above by someone your image is being added to the uploads folder. Therefore, have you made any changes to your media library, have you tried uploading a different image or tried uploading to a different page, to see if you works ? So I can try to recreate this issue, can you list all your layout settings to see if this is causing the issue.

[boldbelvoir 1]

@Danny Bizarre! I just uploaded a totally different picture and the result is exactly the same.. When you say layout settings, do you mean meta settings?

[Jenny 33]

Screenshots are probably best, I don't know what Danny wants for sure, but I would assume screenshots of each feature's settings, your global settings ("Page Settings" menu) for features, and the PageLines settings at the bottom of the page for a default template page and a template 1 page.

[boldbelvoir 1]

Could I not just export my settings file and link to it?

[Rob 547]

That would not be advisable as its a security risk. Screenshots are much better. It would help to see the settings. However, if you'd like, we could schedule a screen sharing session for Monday. What time zone are you in? I'm in US Eastern zone (like New York). Let me know if you'd like to do this.

[boldbelvoir 1]

@rangelone Not sure what settings you need but how's these for starters? Home page (Template | 1) settings 1 http://screencast.com/t/moeLcjZja Home page (Template | 1) settings 2 http://screencast.com/t/qiNLbkIFKxn4 Home page (Template | 1) settings 3 http://screencast.com/t/OdAO5Vkn Global bg settings http://screencast.com/t/Z1FZubFR9II

Thanks for posting the screenshots. I don't see anything in your settings that could be causing the issues. In which directory on your WordPress install are your images set to upload to? (Is it the default uploads folder?)

[boldbelvoir 1]

I have set my folder to /wp-content/uploads in the wordpress settings, not arranged in date folders.
