WordPress coding issue...

Here is the problem im having...

When I upload a theme to my site: http://www.onlyblogthemes.com/testrun/
the images in the SIDEBAR show up perfectly fine.

Then when I upload to themes.wordpress.net - they don't


Here is a piece of code from the sidebar...

<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/themes/RedGold/img/sponsors.gif" width="179" height="15" alt="Categories" />


Is that correct path? It works fine on my sites.. then not on the themes.wordpress.net viewer

 

If I remember correctly then you should use relative paths, ie.:

<img src="/images/headerimgs/header1.jpg" alt="header" />

wordpress should be able to figure out that you mean the images folder that's inside the theme folder.

 

Totally wrong. You cannot assume that there's always a wp-content directory and the theme directory is always the same. theme.wordpress.net does downcase for the directory name.
the working thing should be:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/img/sponsors.gif" width="179" height="15" alt="Categories" />

 

Thanks I will give that a go

Those images are not in the style sheet though... should still work?

 

OK, again for the slow:
bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); this output the directory of the currently used theme. The blog-user might change the themes directory or wp-content directory or even the directory name of the theme so that's the only save way to do this.
The images don't have to be listed somehow in the stylesheet-file.
