I have two custom skins, one works great after all the help from you guys here! I duplicated the process for the 2nd skin, and none of the images or buttons seem to be working. I checked all the file paths as instructed before. Any direction on the next steps to troubleshoot?

We can guess away but it would be a heck of a lot easier with a link.

Are you sure the paths are correct? You have them starting with "delisiosso/misc" and yet that doesn't look like your site name at all.

Try putting that path in your url. You get http://www.hiddenhealing.com/delisiosso/misc/page_bg.gif Nothing is there. However, there is something at http://www.hiddenhealing.com/images/delisiosso/misc/page_bg.gif . So, try putting "images/" in front of your css images and I'll bet it will work.

Alternatively you can move the delisiosso directory into your forum root directory.

Example of your current setup:

public_html/
admincp/
...
images/
delisiosso/
...
morefiles.php What the skin expects:
public_html/
admincp/
...
images/
delisiosso/
...
morefiles.php So you can change the skin or your directory structure. ;)

I've found it to be 'cleaner' if I stick the new images directory into the images directory (so, like the first setup you posted). But, that could be just me.

Yeah I know, just thought it would be easier in case the skin used images in templates & CSS that didn't use the stylevars. :p
