relative path for custom images

Hello,

i need to keep my custom images on the same level as bp-default/_inc/images

and prefer to define a relative path rather than a absolute path like:

<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/_inc/customfolder/my_image.gif’ ?>

But it does not work.

Your help is highly appreciated

i prefer to use the relative path instead of using the whole domain, as when moving to a different domain, i will not need to change all customized links.

Might be useful for others as well.. ? Please help a newbie

Well, the link you posted above in your first post will work on any domain and you won’t have to change a thing, except you might want to use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead of get_template_directory_uri(). The first function returns the child theme location (if there is one) while the second one returns the parent theme location.

thank you travel junkie, you are right.

It did not work as i added the “wp-content” path after the get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .

Your recommendations are very helpful.
