Now the problem is, how do I keep a separate, vertical gallery on the same page, and get the slider to activate once you click on one of the vertical thumbnails? * [http://nivo.dev7studios.com/demos/4/](http://nivo.dev7studios.com/demos/4/) is the gallery I want to activate, once clicking on a thumbnail, in a separate vertical gallery. * Regards, Apachez * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Image gallery with enlarging pictures slideshow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-gallery-with-enlarging-pictures-slideshow/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-gallery-with-enlarging-pictures-slideshow/#post-2263521) * Great, definately gonna check this plugin out.

When on the current menu link, hovering over it, it changes to black. How do I turn this into #949494 gray aswell, so it doesn’t“ blink” black when you hover over it? * I think it’s something along the #access li:hover > a, line but I can’t quite figure it out.. * I’m sorry esmi, I’m new to WP overall and also using a child theme. Greatful I am that you take your time to respond, really. I’ve said it before today and I’ll say it again; WP seems to have a great community helping each other out. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Menu and image problems with TwentyEleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-and-image-problems-with-twentyeleven/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-and-image-problems-with-twentyeleven/#post-2261466) * Even though it’s not blacker than any other menu, can I change the current menu into a shade of gray instead? * The color I’d like on the current menu is #949494 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Menu and image problems with TwentyEleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-and-image-problems-with-twentyeleven/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-and-image-problems-with-twentyeleven/#post-2261424) * Thank you for the quick reply esmi, it sorted everything out, almost. * It seems I figured out how to make the active menu in bold, since it stands out more then. What doesn’t work, is that the active menu should be gray, it is still black. * Which line of code is needed to make this work? ` * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/page/2/#post-2260899) * This is the code for the standard menu for Twenty Eleven * _[CSS moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).]_ * How do I edit this so the background is white, active menu link is grey and nothing else in my child theme style.css? This is where it gets tricky, as I can get the background on the menu to be white, no problem, but how do I remove the rest of the strings of codes I don’t need? I always removed the lines I didn’t need before, now I need to make the child theme overwrite the parent code, which I can’t figure out. * I’m sorry if I’m asking the same questions over and over again, just trying to get my head around it. * Regards, Apachez * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/page/2/#post-2260892) * I wanted to remove nasty footer so what I did was I took the footer.php file from the parent theme, edited it on my harddrive, uploaded it into my child theme folder on the FTP and it worked! Is this how you do it? Can you delete entire lines of codes in your child theme, since it will overwrite the parent one? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/#post-2260886) * Seems I partially figured it out, I just took the * ``` #access { background: #222 } ``` * And edited it into * ``` #access { background: #FFF } ``` * What about the rest of the lines of codes I don’t need there? I just put them into some sort of zero condition? * The problem I am having understanding this child theme, is that I just write the lines I want to be changed. So instead of deleting an entire bit of code, removing the functionality itself, I have to write it into my child theme, thus making it some sort of reverse coding. Is there any easy analogy to understand this? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/#post-2260885) * But this only works with the .php files? That I take the original .php from Twenty Eleven, edit it and then upload it to my childtheme folder? * It seems I’m having a bit of a problem editing the style.css in my childtheme.

Do I disable them again by removing codelines from different php files? * _[CSS moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).]_ * Have I gotten my head around it then? Then it’s not hard at all and does not take alot of time, as you said. * Regards, Apachez * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/#post-2260825) * As I understand it, if uploading a fresh new theme, and creating a child theme of it, all changes made in the child theme, overwrites, say design changes, onto the parent theme? * So if I upload a theme, makes a child theme of it, I edit the style.css for the child theme, and it’s reflected back onto the parent theme? * So that means if I upload the style.css I have been working on, into the child’s theme, it will automatically overwrite the parent theme, which is the fresh TwentyEleven theme? It sounds logical to me but hopefully it also is true.. * Regards, Apachez * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Aligning page content on TwentyEleven theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/) * Thread Starter [apachez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/) * (@apachez) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aligning-page-content-on-twentyeleven-theme/#post-2260816) * If I remember correctly, all the editing I’ve been doing, I’ve been doing in the style.css file for the theme. I’m using ExamDiff now and seeing how it highlights the lines which are not the same, maybe it won’t take that long just remaking the original theme to where I want it to be now? Would it be smartest just to upload a fresh, new TwentyEleven theme to my database, making a child theme and then use ExamDiff and just replace everything manually? It is not ALOT of things that have been altered, mainly the design, which is different colors, looks of the menu etc. * Regards, Apachez Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apachez/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
