Background images aren't showing up
-
First off...I am digging this theme nice work!
When I use the media uploader to upload a file, I then copy the file URL and then add the URL to the Background Images(s) field as per your instructions. I've tried a couple of different images and nothing will show up.
Do the images need to be a specific width and height or some other specific that I should know?
Cheers, -
Sorry...here is the url for the page that has the background image URL added in:

The images will be resized for you. Your image resizer is just being blocked. See this discussion for details on how to fix this (Super simple):

Yeah go ahead and send your hosting provider an e-mail. They should be able to help you out very quickly. Make sure to include a link to an image like so:
http://kneadedbakeshop.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Broadside/timthumb.php?src=http://kneadedbakeshop.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CupcakeInspiration.jpg&w=980&h=600
That way they can help diagnose it faster. -
My host (mediatemple) told me they could not unblock the version of timthumb found in the theme because of a known exploit. However, they did point me to the newer version. I replaced the file with it and now all is well. I'm not sure if there has been a theme update that I missed, but in case you need to replace it, the new version can be found here and doesn't break anything:
http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/
If you want to know more about the vulnerability, they have more info here:

That is in relation to an older version of TimThumb. Looks like MediaTemple is just being a bit overcautious and requiring an even newer version of TimThumb (Which is good but shouldn't be required).
The vulnerabilities referred to in articles are in response to an older version of TimThumb. Either way, you can always update timthumb by just replacing the code so it's nice and easy if you want to use the latest version.
