    I run my own servers so I fully understand how to upload images via FTP/SFTP/SSH

    What I need to know is how I know where to manually code images to appear for background and featured images?

    In other words, presently, in AgentPress, we're having an issue on one domain where neither the Media Uploader nor the Featured Image will accept anything above about 200kb, yes, kb.

    We've done everything we know to do, deleted the site and database and started from scratch, php.ini, .htaccess, plugins, you name it, no matter what we do, we can't seem to get this one site to accept images above 200kb despite WordPress confirming the php.ini file limit of 32mb.

    So, where do I hand code the placement of the background image in AgentPress?

    What about featured images for every post across every WordPress site?

    Automation is wonderful until it fails you and I need a fix and I'd prefer to be able to never have to worry about this again.

    Thank you in advance.

    This was answered recently.

    You can pull them from your images folder using CSS or PHP

    Hard code them directly in a template

    Or use CSS.

    Thank you. I know it can be done because I've modified it before in the Square One theme in style.css but the code was already there and all I had to do was enter the location of the background images.

    What I am trying to ascertain is what code to use for AgentPress (or any other StudioPress theme) if pulling from CSS?

    In other words, to get Background Image #1 hard coded, what's the code to place in style.css?

    Likewise, if I want to hard code the Featured Image for post ID 27, what's the code for that?

    Isn't it just one line of code for each image?

    Not just one line

    The code would need to be written and tested.

    I have some working examples on my site which use PHP, CSS and jQuery but they may need some modification to do exactly what you want. You can use the contact form on my site if you need help.
