I checked and the 1.jpg file is in the correct place on my website as shown in your screencast.

Why am I getting HTTP 404 errors? Is it because I removed all demo files and 1.jpg is expected to be in the media library upload folder?

If so, why are you uploading to the media library and not referencing 1.jpg in the theme’s folder instead?

If this is the theme panel background image, then why for every visitor that comes to my website, is it being referenced? That doesn’t make any sense. That background panel image is administration users, not for visitors.

Also, I looked through Media Library after I installed the demo for News magazine and no images in there are named 1.jpg

I don’t thinks its a good idea to store any theme files in the Media library anyway. If someone overwrites this, whether a theme or through accident, HTTP 404 errors are going to happen. They should be installed in the theme folder.

I don’t even see an images folder for:
/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/images/panel/bg/1.jpg

Nor for includes\wp_booster\wp-admin:
.td-theme-panel-body #wpcontent {
background-color: #3b7fa8 !important;
background: url('../images/panel/bg/1.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}

Andrei,

After placing the patched code in, I am running into a problem. The news ticker is merged into the article container. This has to do with either the sidebar having too much content extending past the article list or not enough posts. Somehow we need to clear that container div. I tried below and it didn’t work in Custom CSS:

.td-main-content-wrap {
  clear:both;
}
.td-pb-article-list {
  clear:both;
}

My post limit setting was at 6. But if I make it 10, the ticker renders correctly below the latest article container. Still, since we dont know exactly the full height and people can set the post limit to any number, I think it is safer to somehow clear the div so that it renders on a separate “row”.

Also, some other things to note:

1. There’s a big gap between the news ticker and the next section (i.e. tabbed categories). I would like to make it smaller.
2. Hard coded title (i.e. LATEST ARTICLES). Yes, I know I can change it directly but maybe a better idea is to have this as a theme option. The reason is because it all depends on what the website is used for. If a news site, ARTICLES may not be an appropriate word. The website may want this to be LATEST NEWS. Or if it was an opinion website, LATEST OPINIONS. Or if it was a cartoon website, LATEST CARTOONS. Hope you understand what I mean.

Since the ticker looks out of place not being at the top of the home page, I may just remove it as it is probably way too much work to get it integrated into the template.
