any ideas?

thanks!

I think you are in the correct folder, however you may want to press F5, refresh your browser or clean the cache on it and that should show the new image you’ve put in.

Hope that helps

Magoheer

Did you find a solution to this problem? I have the same problem.

I created a new background, same name, same size, same location in the file hiearchy, but still no change.

I have cleared the cache on my computer and brought up the site on a computer that hadn’t been to the site before, still the change does not show.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Kylie

Hi Kyile,

It’s the .png file and not the .jpg file in the same directory which is the background. you need to create a transparency layered .png to create the simmilar effect else with a solid background the size will mess up depending on screen resolution.

if you need any help, lemme know (and ideally send me your link, and what image you want in the back). i can seperate the layers for you in png.

Cheers!
🙂

I just want to change the background colour of that slideshow area (I am using the green template). Where can I do this?

Do I need to change an image or CSS?

Thanks.

Change the color in CSS – the slideshow background image is a transparent overlay

you need to switch off the join and minify on the css on the template – otherwise i will not be able to tell you exact what to change

templates/ja_ores/core/themes/light-green/css/color.css – line 106 – change the colour
templates/ja_ores/css/template.css – line 2627 – line 1868 – line 1880
modules/mod_jaslideshow/assets/themes/ores/style.css – line 228

should be able to change what you want in these lines
