 * Hi, Josh! I want to change the color of the pager buttons, but once I copy your
   style sheet over to my theme file I lose all of the nav buttons. I’ve copied 
   over the image files, but I think I’m having trouble updating the paths correctly.
 * New style sheet location – wp-content/themes/my-theme-name
    New image location–
   wp-content/themes/my-theme-name/images
 * What should the updated paths be?

 * Ok, to give you a little more info – everything works fine when I have Meteor
   Slides using the CSS from its own plugin file. But as soon as I move its CSS 
   file to my theme’s CSS file the nav and pager buttons totally disappear, even
   though I’ve copied over the .png files to my image folder. Changing the paths
   from (‘../images/buttons.png’) to (‘images/buttons.png’) does nothing. Oddly 
   enough, I can see what I think are all of the buttons clustered together in the
   upper left corner of the slide box as the slide fades out. I have no idea why
   they are up there, I haven’t adjusted any of the positioning. Please help!

 * Hi, it looks like Meteor Slides is seeing the CSS file on your theme and loading
   that instead. But the file itself is 404ed: [http://www.gayliawagnerdesign.com/wp-content/themes/C-Cbaby/meteor-slides.css](http://www.gayliawagnerdesign.com/wp-content/themes/C-Cbaby/meteor-slides.css)
 * That’s pretty strange, it has to be there for Meteor Slides to load that instead,
   but the browser say’s it’s missing. First thing I would try is just removing 
   the file from your theme and trying again with a fresh copy from the plugin. 
   Also, check the permissions of the file via FTP and make sure it matches the 
   other theme files, it may be unreadable.
 * Otherwise, if it doesn’t work and you only need to customize the slideshow a 
   bit, you can do it right in your theme’s stylesheet and just tweak the default
   plugin styles.

 * I tried deleting it, recopying it, and changing the permissions (upping them 
   from 644). Nothing has worked. I’m wondering if this is an underlying problem
   caused by the parent theme – Custom Community. For some reason the child theme
   will not read the style.css sheet that’s in the child theme folder. It only reads
   the CSS if I add it directly to the CSS page in “Theme Settings” in the Dashboard,
   and those changes do not get saved to the child theme’s style.css file at all.
   Do you think I need to copy all of the code from the plugin’s CSS styleheet and
   paste it directly onto the one in “Theme Settings”? All I’m trying to do is change
   the color of the pager buttons.

 * Are you sure you have the child theme activated and not the parent theme? I can
   take a closer look if you want to [send me](http://www.jleuze.com/contact/) a
   login for the site.

 * Ok, exactly as I thought – when I copied and pasted the CSS into the CSS page
   in “Theme Settings” in the Dashboard the plugin started functioning normally 
   again. But now the pager and nav buttons aren’t showing up at all (not even hidden
   in the upper left corner) so I must have the image paths wrong. Huh, I wonder
   if you’re right and I don’t have the child theme activated. Yikes! I’m sending
   you my login info – please take a look because I’d hate to lose all of my hard
   work when an update comes out! (You will see that the child CSS sheet has code
   in it, but that’s because I’ve basically just been using it to store a copy of
   my changes.)

 * The problem is with the child theme’s folder name, “C-C baby”. That space in 
   it isn’t working in the path for the custom stylesheet, the space is being removed.
   It should at least have a dash instead of the space, but I like to keep it all
   lowercase, only letters and dashes, like this: “c-c-baby”.

 * Oh. Oops. Feeling a little silly now. Thank you so much for pointing that out
   to me. I had been going a little crazy trying to figure out why nothing seemed
   to happen when I would add to the style.css for my child theme…. Everything seems
   to be working perfectly now. You’ve been a great help, and I’ve been really impressed
   with your responsiveness both to me and to others. And your patience! I’m sending
   a donation to you directly. Thanks again!

   for your donation!
