    Just need a little help here, I have tried this in multiple instances with no success and I can’t seem to get the path right.

    “_inc/images/homepage_placeholder.jpg>”

    you have write out the whole path Image
    thats the only way i got it to work with my theme..alt attribute is for web crawlers and search engines, incase the image doesnt load..
    thats how you would call it using the bp-default theme, depends where you placed your theme?

    the damn PHP part doesn’t show up when I post it here

    , I’m not really into using absolute paths, this has to work.

    or you could create a div then set a background-image, width and height with css..
    called mydiv or whatever, there doesnt have to be anything inside it..

    #mydiv {
    display:block;
    height: 100px;
    width:100px; //whatever the dimensions of your image is
    background-image: url(“../images/homepage_placeholder.jpg”);
    }

    the buddypress themes dont get the image if you dont use absolute paths for in your template
    i dont know of another way to make it work with selector

    thanks for your help dre1080, I’m not sure why this aspect of the child theme concept wouldn’t work.

    So it is required that I use absolute paths in my child theme for images?

    bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); should call your child theme address dynamically.

    Right now the stylesheet_directory is “template_url”

    This is a custom page template that resides in the same directory as the stylesheet, all of this is located in my child theme.

    Thanks for the help.

    Try replacing “template_url” with “stylesheet_directory”.
