Okay I checked in my install. The png I uploaded made its way into the root directory for the site, under WP-Content > uploads > 2011 > 05 wp-content is the normal wordpress directiory, the uploads is where all images are uploaded to, and as I use sort by year/month 2011 is the year folder, with 05 being the month.

I noticed it uploaded 3 versions of the image. Not sure why either. But that is the directory it is obviously pulling the info from.

there are 3 png files in wptube4/images they are btn_bg, btn_lft, btn_rgt obviiously background, left, right, respectively. they are tiny images that look to be shading images.

I manually created /uploads/2011/05/logo.png but how do I point to that, the location is data:image/png;base64 I need to find out what that means, it's generating the images from somewhere

Or, just re-name the site "Logo name"

You mentioned that you can't use the theme's upload feature, in its options. I'd really suggest you delete the theme, then re-install it. Something didn't load right, or is missing. I'd also not use the zip file you downloaded, but get a fresh copy to use.

I'll see if I can't find the info in the theme, as to where its storing the images, or what. I don't get any of those codes you are saying, so something seems a bit off.

Thanks for your help GSM, normally I would just throw this into the bag with all of other stuff that doesn't work, but given it's the title of the site, got to get it to do something.

I wrote the authors of the script, hopefully they will have an answer

[Gaystoryman]

From what I can see, it is all done through javascript. Hopefully the theme author can help, as I know nothing about javascript, or even where to look in the code, though it is probably in there somewhere.

I'll poke around later, bit on the run right now, but I'll see if I can find the url listed or something

For those of you scoring at home, I was able to get the text corrected. Still not sure about the graphic image (png)

Here's the activity in the header file:

<?php } else if(get_option(THEME_PREFIX . "logo")) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo ($logo = get_option(THEME_PREFIX .

'logo'))?>" alt="" />

Since you are already messing around with the header file, you can always adjust it to only look at the header image you do want there. Just use the same image tag they are using and remove the PHP part of it. Done that with a couple themes that I wanted to make adjustments to the layout and works fine

Are you suggesting this:
<img src="image/logo.png" alt="" />

and excluding this as well:
<?php } else if(get_option(THEME_PREFIX . "logo")) { ?>

That's too easy, I still want to know what the 'data' function is

yes, that's what I'm saying. Sorry if it's too easy a solution.. I'll try and come up with something far more complicated next time...

Just a guess without seeing the full code.. the 'data' function is a reference to an internal image feature for the theme. More than likely, when a theme image is properly uploaded, the image URL is stored in the WP database and associated with the 'data' marker in place in the code. When the script hits that marker, it is used for the query to determine the correct filename/path to insert into the final rendered code.

But that's just me guessing

Makes perfect sense to me, and that was the answer I was looking for.

For the time being lad, I still have the banner ad and footer banner to deal with, all dashboard upload items. Probably find myself in the proverbial trick bag yet again, but I will get it all done, and I'll do it man-u-ally...
