Loading Theme

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new to Concrete5 and I'm running into a minor issue when loading my theme. After installing everything, I watched the video tutorial on turning a design into a C5 theme.

After doing all the prep work (changing file paths and making editable regions) and uploading the default.php file, I went into my dashboard and found my template to activate, but once activated, nothing is being seen, except a few styled CSS links. In other words, none of my images are showing up!

There's some obvious mistake I've made with the file paths, but after reviewing written documentation as well, I'm not clear on what I'm doing wrong.

I'm happy to pay someone who would be interested in doing a skype session to show me what I'm doing wrong. I noticed paid tutoring on Concrete5, but not sure if they have "one-on-one" tutoring?


Thank you in advance,
Rob

You have omitted a forward slash in your images path
You have this for one image

Thanks Weyboat! All working now! I can't believe I missed that! It's really the stupid "easy" mistakes that are often the culprit!

As saying, I'm brand new to concrete5, but I'm impressed with everything so far! I used to use WordPress and HATED the fact that users had control of everything. That control almost always resulted in the user messing something else up. WordPress had a user interface that was so busy, but Concrete5 keeps everything neat, tidy, and simple!
