I am trying to replace the image at http://imgur.com/a/IHwaC (wont let me upload it to here for some reason) with another image but whenever I do it it just seems to make the background white and not actually do anything.
The way I change them is by uploading the image to the WordPress media library and replacing the image name with the other image name.
My Questions:
Am I doing something wrong when trying to upload?
Is my image sized wrong?
(I'm running WordPress on academyofperformancearts.com.)
Your Wordpress theme might have an option for simply changing that image.
Try checking Appearance -> Customize in your admin panel.
if it's not there, your theme may have some addionnal settings in the menu, check thoroughly.
third option is a plugin defining it.
If not, your image happens to be located here : https://academyofperformancearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/parallax-img-940x446-1.jpg
So though it is not best practice with a Wordpress site, you may want to replace from here as last resort.
And don't forget to make backup when doing such changes, it is a not a correct solution and may give squishy results.

Alright, enough fun lets get to the point. I have a question about Wordpress for you guys and I hope you can help me with it. My theme supports an image as an "ad" which you can place below header (menu) and above content on the site. It is not a background, you can set BG of a page and then in theme options add image to be shown.
The problem is, this picture is now on every page, article, everywhere on site. I can live with that but I would like to know if its possible to somehow change HTML or something of a single WordPress page and replace the logo with the different image? I clearly can't do that in editor as it supports only one image for everything so that's why I'm asking to try out code change. I tried to get to the HTML but in WP Editor it shows only a few lines of PHP code.
As I'm typing this I'm realizing some huge problems it might have but I'll post this anyway, maybe some of you will have a great tip :) Thanks for helping me out in any way!

When developing a website I often use background images for banners. When this website is in a CMS, the images paths come from the database (user uploaded). So I ended up using a style="background-image:url(myImageFromDB.jpg)"
However, this becomes an issue when I want to replace this image with smaller versions of the same image.
A lot of tutorials/guides out there, assume that you already know the path to this image, so you can just use #media queries to easily replace them. But if the path is dynamic, then I can't use media queries (unless they are dynamically written in the head of the document).
So how are people dealing with this issue?
Not using background-images? (using instead?)
Dynamically writing media queries at the head of the document?
Using JS to dynamically load the correct images?
Resizing images dynamically on the server?
My downsides of each method:
1. Downside, can't use some good options such as background-size:cover
2. Need to write server side script figure out what image to load
3. Probably the best option, but need to wait for the JS to load first
4. I have tried this, but without much success.
one thing you can do..
You can assign its width using view port width like width:90vw;.
1 vw=1/100 of total view.
so you need not change the image for small screen.
you can just simply add this in your media query and default css also.
width:90vw;..
you can change width as your requirement.
so it will act dynamically.
not need to change the image.
hope it works.
I'm wondering how to replace my social media icons with my own custom images. For example instead of using the typical Facebook Like button or Twitter follow button I would replace it with my own image, while keeping the same functionality.
Websites like BuzzFeed and SuperCompressor are good examples that it can be done. Each has replaced the Facebook Like button with a custom image but the functionality remains the same.
I'm having a hard time finding any information one the web. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
As the place you will find this image may depend on the plugins and themes you use, you have to find out where the actual image comes from.
To do so, I would suggest that you install a browser such as Chrome that allows you to inspect an element on your page (will open the portion of code displaying the selected item). Once you see where the image comes from, you can either replace the actual image with a custom one if it's on your website's server, or search your website files for this image's URL and replace it with a link to the image of your choice.
I think something like
this http://www.inboundnow.com/apps/facebook-like-button-generator/
might work but the google search for
custom facebook like button for website
has a lot of results
EDIT: Well if you already know how to make a custom image you can follow

We have a picture on Our website how can i prevent other users cant download this picture ?
is it possible or not ? if its not possible please give some ways to make harder the way of copy a picture
If you really want to prevent someone from stealing a picture, someone refer to someone that is bad with technology, here's some technic :
Place the image as CSS background instead
Put a transparent DIV over the image.
Disable right click
Watermark all your image
Disable direct image access
Use .htaccess to allow only your website to access your image
Embed the picture using flash or something similar
Consider this : what is on the Internet will be and always be "free" to every "thief".
EDIT Here's a technic used to convert torrent inside a PNG : http://stegtorrent.sourceforge.net/ You could do the reverse if your the FBI ! :) Store your image inside a diffrent type of file.
The user can copy it one way or another. One interesting way though is to use images as CSS background that makes it it a little harder than right click and save image.
<div style="background-image:theimage.png ;"></div>
But to the determined user there is not much you can do. when you share an image just assume someone will copy it. Otherwise don't share it.
Add this script to the body tag. This will disable the right click from which save is called.
Have a look at this post on stack overflow Disable mouse click outside cropped region
i have a image that i don't want it drag-able or selectable so that no drag to other places on the page. how is that done?
If you want your visitors/users to see the resource on your page there is no way to stop them downloading it or saving it.
Possible options:
You can use JavaScript to prevent the context-menu popping up on right-click (related article: http://javascript.about.com/library/blnoright.htm).
You can cover the image with a transparent .png or .gif so that clicking on the image simple returns the transparent image.
But if the user can see the image on the webpage then it's already on their computer.
In reality this is far harder than you may think it will be, I assume you don't want people stealing your images which is a fair enough thing but just remember all the different ways in which someone can get an image from a web site. Your can catch the right click event and stop them at least doing that, but they can always just take a screenshot and save that instead. This is a slippery slope and it always ends the same way, if they really want to steal it, they're going to.
Since the image is just a binary data, and all the data is written on client PC's, for displaying reason it's up to th euser what they'll do with the data. There's no way you can prevent them from saving the picture displayed on a website.
All you might do is make it a little bit harder, by blocking right clicking on image, (displaying alert on right click, or something like this). But if the user really wants to save the picture they will do this anyway.
Why should you do it?
I can suggest a javascript that will able it: http://www.brownielocks.com/stopcopying.html
But every one, even with little experience can view the source and copy it. and even if you block them from viewing the source, they can use wireshark and get the picture directly. Even if you use flash to show the picture one can screen-capture the screen and retrieve the picture.
Put a watermark on the picture and use http://www.tineye.com/ from time to time and search for your picture. If you find others that use your picture - sue them. It is the most effective way.
It is impossible to prevent someone to store an image (or other resources) on their computer as others already have mentioned.
But another trick to make it harder (impossible for inexperienced people I guess) is to use CSS and background images:
<div style='background: url("myimage.gif");'></div>
The image is now on the background of the <div> block and cannot be dragged or right clicked in order to save it.
Using some coding knowledge it is possible to ind out the myimage.gif part, which can be added after the base URL in order download the image and save it. For example if the HTML page is at http://www.example.com/mypage.html the image could be found at http://www.example.com/myimage.gif
As I mentioned it is still possible to save the image, but for inexperienced people it is a lot harder.
Note: In this example the image is just put in the HTML tag, but with proper use of a CSS file, it is even harder to find for inexperienced people.
You cannot prevent a user from saving something from the web to his PC. The nearest thing that comes to my mind is the -moz-user-select CSS property... https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-user-select
This javascript snippet does exactly what OP asks:
document.addEventListener("dragstart", preventDrag);
function preventDrag(event) {
event.preventDefault();
}
