Need help finding correct filepath

If there is anyone who's worked with Wordpress themes before & could either give this post a once over or send me a PM, I appreciate that very much.

I've got a theme working on a test blog I've created. It features a slideshow banner working nicely here.

However, when I try to activate the banner at my actual blog the slideshow doesn't work. I believe there's something wrong in the filepath I'm using, but can't figure out where/what the mistake is.

Here's the code I'm using at my test blog to call the slideshow (that's working):

<a href="http://www.domain.co.uk/wordpress/" title="Find out more..." class="open"></a>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/smoothgallery/images/shine/dafnatalimage.jpg" class="full" alt="Mahzor" />

Here's the code I'm using at my actual blog (that isn't working):

<a href="http://www.domain.com/tikun_olam/" title="Find out more..." class="open"></a>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/smoothgallery/images/shine/dafnatalimage.jpg" class="full" alt="Mahzor" />

The folder structure in the test blog is: "/wp-content/themes/LivingOS_UPSILON/smoothgallery/images/shine/"

The folder structure in the real blog is: "/public_html/tikun_olam/wp-content/themes/LivingOS_UPSILON/smoothgallery/images/shine/"

I'd be grateful if anyone has any ideas about what's wrong.

We can't know for sure until you actually see what's wrong with it. Do you have access to your error log? I would suggest that you check there first to see what's really going on. If need be, clear the log, then go back to the page you are having trouble with, then refresh you log to see what comes up then.

Wordpress can be a real pain when it comes to customizing certain features, especially when you have to get into the actual code itself. Stick with it and it will eventually work itself out. :)

Note: You should also check so see if the plug-ins that you are using are compatible with the version of WP you are running. Sometimes things like this go overlooked and cause hard-to-trace errors.

Turns out it was a javascript conflict bet. the theme and a plugin, which I've since disabled.
