In reply to: [Childify Me] Moving Hueman custom.css to Childify Me?Hello Rocco,
Thanks again for your kind reply.
Unfortunately I took the plunge and updated everything, theme, WordPress and simple custom css plugin, no child theme active just the parent, and the code doesn’t work… as you can see the grey empty sidebar now at http://www.toniallenauthor.co.uk . Functionality lost. I have the old site and theme saved and the custom css of course… but I don’t want to go back.
So how to fix this? Does the new theme require more specificity for the custom css from the plugin? Do you think this is the only way? I am not sure about loading order.
Apologies for being a pain.
Thanks again,
Daniel

In reply to: [Childify Me] Moving Hueman custom.css to Childify Me?Hi Rocco,
Thank you very much for your extensive reply. Yes, it was helpful but I still have the uncertainty as to what the effects would be of updating the Hueman theme.
newer hueman versions treat the child-theme style.css in a better way.
Does that mean I would not have to add specificity to the css for it to work with updated version child theme?
If I just updated the parent theme would I lose the functionality of the custom.css from the simple plugin or not? It is true that Toni, the site-owner, doesn’t really expect to want to the degree of customization in the near future that would demand a child theme but everybody but yourself says I should get one… The custom.css works fine now but I need to update the theme, as well as WordPress and plugins. A test website? Yes… that would be a safety solution. Still.. do you know what would happen if I just went ahead with updating with no child theme?
Hopefully I can resolve this by tomorrow and stop pestering you 😉
Thanks in advance, Rocco. You are a star!
All the best

In reply to: [Childify Me] Moving Hueman custom.css to Childify Me?Hi Rocco,
Thank you so much for your help! I see the problem now with the old version.
Yes, I meant 2.2.5.Rather than my trying to figure the extra specificity needed for the code to work could I simply update the theme to the latest version, along with WP and plugins? Pasting in the custom code to the child before or after that? I mean would the latest version prioritize differently so I could avoid that work or would it still be necessary?
Thanks again,
Daniel

In reply to: [Childify Me] Moving Hueman custom.css to Childify Me?Hello Rocco,
I more or less have the same question as Kerrie. I am an utter newbie at this.
I have the old v. 2.5.5 theme and the simple custom.css plugin. I don’t expect to really need a child theme but everybody says I should make one for the latest Hueman.If I simply paste the custom.css code into the Childify Me file do I then need to delete the Simple Custom.css plugin custom.css or can they both run without conflict? I tried keeping the plugin and it did not work, the custom code effects for the sidebar disappeared.
This is what I pasted into the child theme.
.entry { color: black; } .entry.excerpt { color: black; } .entry .wp-caption { background: #ffffff; } /* */ @media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 1200px) { .s2-expand .s2 { background: #ffffff; } } @media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 960px) { .s1-expand .s1 { background: #ffffff; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 479px) { .sidebar { background: #ffffff; } } .sidebar-top p { float: left; color: #000000; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600; text-transform: uppercase; line-height: 24px; padding: 3px 0; } .s1 .sidebar-top, .s1 .sidebar-toggle { background-color: #fff!important; }Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel
