Hi,
Good to hear you are using a child theme, very smart. Suggest copying over the appropriate theme files and adding your own div to style with the box shadow. This way you can have it show up where and when you want.
Here is some useful information: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Site_Architecture_1.5
Theme files you will likely need to copy to the child theme folder and edit are:
single.php – single post page, it may have a call to a content page
page.php – normal page, it too may have a call inside to content page
category.php
archive.php
search.php
Post a link so we can see your masterpiece.

Thanks Flash but I’m wondering if this is way out of my abilities. But what the heck. I found where I need it in page.php but don’t know how to implement it. Tried <div class=”que”> and a couple other things but to noby to get it right.
get_header(); ?>
---------------NEED TO START .QUE HERE---------------
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<nav class="nav-single">
<h3 class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
<span class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '←', 'Previous post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></span>
<span class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '→', 'Next post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span>' ); ?></span>
</nav><!-- .nav-single -->
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
---------NEED TO STOP .QUE HERE--------------
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And added this to style.css
.que {
box-shadow: inset 5px 5px 5px #000;
}
Where did I go wrong?
I got my start with “what the heck”. Good to see your using a tried and true method of learning 🙂
You didn’t create a div to hold the content in a container that would have a box shadow.
get_header(); ?>
<!-- -------------NEED TO START .QUE HERE------------- -->
<div class="que">
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
<nav class="nav-single">
<h3 class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
<span class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '←', 'Previous post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></span>
<span class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '→', 'Next post link', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span>' ); ?></span>
</nav><!-- .nav-single -->
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
</div><!-- #que -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I changed you code by adding a div with the class .que, based upon your markup. I don’t know if that is going to give you the results you want.
I generally find myself making good guesses in a situation like this then experimenting until I either figure it out or move on to plan b.

Hey Thanks Flash
I’d tried the <div class=”que”> with no result but hearing that it was right from someone who knows their stuff made me look elsewhere and it was in the style sheet. Success gives me the confidence to try harder stuff. Pray for me my fellow man lol.
