How to change the background image for the header about hugo-theme-zzo HOT 8 CLOSED

This is very strange.
When I tested it on Window10, it works well, But
When I tested it on Ubuntu, the Hugo is not following the lookup order.
Hugo must find a file at root/static image first. If the file does not exist, then Hugo searches the file at the theme folder, which is not the case on Ubuntu.
I think I have to open a new issue on the Hugo repo regarding this.
I'm closing this issue now.

The quick solution: just change the filename or path, and you are good to go

from hugo-theme-zzo.

Did you set param at config/_default/params.toml ?

...
homeHeaderType = "img"
...

from hugo-theme-zzo.

Yes. PFA the screenshots.

Then, did you make a _index.md file at content folder?

the file name, file extension, file path don't need to be the same.

from hugo-theme-zzo.

Yes, sire 😺

Then, it must work if you have a file at root/static/images/header/background.jpg file

from hugo-theme-zzo.

Exactly. That is what I shared above. It just doesn't work. 🤷‍♂️

An update:
Moving background.jpg outside of header folder into its parent images and updating the link in _index.en.md file:

imageSrc: images/background.jpg

Fixed the issue. I can now load the custom background image.

Note: I tested with the image being in header folder vs its parent images and it only works when it is inside images and not when it is placed inside header child folder.
