I have only managed to upload bg image for module in header position but want it just like in cloudhost demo. How do I do that? You can see what I mean here http://staging2.skipropertyshop.com/

Thanks for help

You need to use 'imageBg' suffix for page where you want this background (in your case it will be homepage), then just replace this image to your own >> [url]template/images/header_wide.jpg[/url]

How to set suffix for page you will find here >> How to Disable Content on selected Joomla Pages ? (article is about different issue but it shows how to manage suffixes via template options)

Thanks. Suffix seems to be working (grey back ground in place) but doesn't seem to pick up photo in place at http://staging2.skipropertyshop.com/ima ... r_wide.jpg

Maybe I am missing something?

The header image is set to template/images/header_wide.jpg but looks like file is not available.

Hi,

If you look at screen shot you will see that at staging/2/templates/gk_cloudhost/images , the file header_wide.jpg is in place (original photo from demo).

Puzzled what could be the problem. Is it really calling photo from templates/gk_cloudhost/images? Is a suffix applied which could prevent call for header_wide.jpg?

Thanks for your answers

I've visited your site and run dev tools. I really don't see any rules that overwrite default template background so still default image is trying to be displayed. Probably you have replace image in wrong directory, template load background from root/templates/gk_templatename/images not from root/images folder.

The problem is very simple, your code is different that default template CSS code so have to be modified, please look default template and your website

As you can see there is missing
Code: Select all
../
before images director name.
