closed resolvedHi,
I purchased a background image which is vector illustration (.eps) that support any kind of re-shaping. Right now I have it as the header background of my site and it works just fine. I would like to use this to be the background of my header, side bars and footer or at least header and side bars. Is that supported by the flagship theme?
Please advise
Thank you
It just sais that it failed to upload (apparently is a known weakeness of wordpress). I found a pluging called scalable-vector-graphics-svg that is supposed to allow the use of vector images in wordpress but haven't had a chance to try it yet..
In another note..Do you mind telling me what kind of support forum you use in your site. I'm trying to choose one for mine and this one looks very good.
Thank you
Me again. Unfortunately when I convert the .eps file to .svg it looses lots of quality. So I really would like to use my .eps image. I found a piece of code that is supposed to remove the security restriction from WordPress and allow .eps uploads but I have to edit the fuction-flagship file. When I go there there I see a big note asking users not to modify that file.
Is it possible to enable the support of .eps file upload somehow?
This is the site that I found:

Thank you

Hi,
Looks like you need to add this on the end of functions.php
// Added to extend allowed files types in Media upload
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'custom_upload_mimes');
function custom_upload_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
// Add *.EPS files to Media upload
$existing_mimes['eps'] = 'application/postscript';
// Add *.AI files to Media upload
$existing_mimes['ai'] = 'application/postscript';
return $existing_mimes;
}Please try and see if it works.
Regards,
Ismael

Hi ngonzalez,
Try adding this code snippet in Quick CSS or custom.css:
.sidebar {
background-image: url(test.svg);
-o-background-size: 100% 100%;
-webkit-background-size: 100% 100%;
}Just replace test.svg with the right url of the svg image. Hope this helps. :)
Regards,
Ismael
I'm sorry but I had not tried yet when I responded. It doesn't work for me. This is what I input under Theme Options, Styling Quick CSS. I entered the code and nothing happens. Also for some reason the same image comes' out considerably smaller on the page that has the contact form. No Idea why...this is my site http://www.opsvenue.com (pls use Chrome or Safari, for some reason the SVG image doesn't render properlly with IE9 or firefox)
input.sidebar {
background-image: urlhttp://www.opsvenue.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/shutterstock_Right.svg;
-o-background-size: 100% 100%;
-webkit-background-size: 100% 100%;
}
Noo. that put's it on the side bar. But forget it. I decided to give up using SVG images (a lot of browsers don't know how to interpret them well). I just placed a PNG image at the top as the background and that works for me
Thanks for your efforts anyway
This theme is the bomb!...
