I am creating a series of similar sites, so have set up EE by copying the the first installation to subsequent sites.

All seems fine, exept I cannot see how to restore the big green button images in the control panel. All other CP images reappeared once I had adjusted the paths. Maybe I am missing a path somewhere which relates only to that image? Seems unlikely, but I can’t think what else it might be. Can anyone help?

Hm- shouldn’t be a path issue.  No chance the image was corrupted in transfer, is there?  If you look at the source code, can you find the image- and what happens if you attempt to access it directly using that image url?

Problem solved - it seems that the database dump did not contain all the settings, so EE didn’t know which theme to use. I set it to default and all is OK. Not sure why the other images still seemed OK, or why settings weren’t included, but never mind.

(Previously the CP showed classic theme selected - the first option in the relevant select menu - so I didn’t spot this value was really empty, unlike the radio buttons I have been re-checking.)

Hm- that’s odd.  I’d skim through, make sure everything else looks solid.  Glad this is fixed, but I’d want to do a bit of double checking to make sure nothing else has been missed.

Yes, thanks, I have been double checking, going through every pair of radio buttons in the CP. Strange that the dump didn’t contain this data, but no other problems so far.

I’m having the same problem.  Only the large green CP button is missing, but nothing else.  I’ve tried accessing directly using the image url, but not luck there.  I’ve deleted the entire themes folder and uploaded it again.  I’ve checked all the paths, but nothing is bringing back.

Has anyone else had issues with this?  If so, how did you solve it?

If you look at the directory in your FTP program, is the file size the same as the original image? Have you tried with a different browser?

Yes, the file sizes are the same and yes, I have tried with different browsers, but get the same result.

Going directly to the image url in the rendered code fails- right?  Does it 404 or- what’s it do?  And if you look at the url, does it appear to be correct?  Is it the same one you’d come up with based on the file structure?

Does a 404: http://webdev.innography.com/themes/cp_themes/default/bg_button_a.gif.  I can see the file on the remote side, but it’s not showing up.  Weird.

OK- that helps a bit.  Does pull it up with
http://webdev.innography.com/themes/cp_themes/default/images/bg_button_a.gif

Which- far as I can tell is the correct url.  Hm.  Makes 0 sense to me it would be wrong for a single image.  The path you tried is what’s rendered- right?

I’m also noticing other small images here and there

I’ve had this issue as well.  I had to re-upload my CP theme and that fixed everything (if I’m remembering correctly - it’s been a while).

I, too, would recommend uploading the theme. I’ve had corrupted files as well.
