Changing image on main page

Recommended Posts

Having problem changing the large image on the main page...

 

http://www.handcarved-furniture.co.uk

 

Have created a replacement image of same size and also same name..

Uploaded the new image to the server via FTP, I thought this would just replace the current image

 

But i get no image when displayed.....No new image or Old image is displayed..

 

Was advised that i should change this in Catalog--Admin--Define Main but can't see where

 

Simply put i want to change the front page image with a 2nd image of same size and same name

this should really have been so easy.....but so confused now..

 

Can anyone help please...

Thanks in advance

Just for kicks why don't you tell us the name of the image you created and what path you uploaded it to...

 

is this the image you want to use?

 

Hi yes that is the image i want to use..

Initially i named it the same as the original e.g home_bif_img.jpg, then i tried a different name...

 

i uploaded it to the same place as the original...e.g /images/home_img.jpg

 

hope you can assist.... why is it that i can't view it if its on the server...?

It's not the same name as the file on the server.

RE: It IS home_bif_img.jpg but the original is still there so you must not have done something right. Try it again.

 

Hi, thanks for replying back..

OK I have now changed the name of original image to home_bif_img_original.jpg

and then re-named the image i want to home_bif_img.jpg

 

Please look at the result... NO Image displayed at all..

 

this is what i have been experiencing.... why does it not display the image????

hope you can assist further

 

Thank you very much for your time..

It displayed it for me. BUT, it is a 1mb image file. If you are going to use files sizes over 100k or so you are going to have to exhibit some amount of patience.

 

See if you can reduce the file size and retain the level of detail you will accept then the page will load faster.
