In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeI currently have those lines in the parent header.php
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeThat was part of my original question. How does the header.php get formatted when it is a copy in the child theme meant to override a setting on the parent header.php . ie information needed in the file , include line , etc . Only style.css is covered well in any child theme usage guide I have ever seen

In reply to: Steps to creating a child theme<div class="span1" style="float:right;"> <a href="http://www.wickedwandas.ca"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/Canada-icon.png" /></a> <a href="http://www.wickedwandas.com"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/usa-icon.png" /></a> </div>will be added to header.php
#wrapperHeader .container { margin-top: 0px; } #wrapperHeader { margin-bottom:0px; }will be added to style.css
this is what gets wiped out so far if I don’t put it in the child theme

In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeActually the flags are inserted in style.css and the menu shadow is removed in the menu_wrapper property in header.php
That is what I have so far

In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeIt is losing the settings when the theme is updated that I am concerned about. I am working on getting can.wandasweb.com set up and then once complete will be redirecting http://www.wickedwandas.ca to this site so I want the updates as painless as possible before this.

In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeThe two flags and their links , the front page header image is also custom. The menu as well is modified to remove the border from the top and bottom. How would I retain these settings ?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeThe theme is New-Commerce by F5 THemes. (http://f5themes.com/) I would like to retain the header images and background ground images as well as their settings. The site I am working on is can.wandasweb.com there is a corresponding usa.wandasweb.com these are place holder URLs so that temporary URLs don’t have to be used which seems to break many plugins once the temporary URL is changed to the permanently published one. I have not put in any shopping data so the sliders are not showing yet.
Thank you very much Stephen , this is very helpful and appreciated

In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeI just noticed that the menu structure is not saved with the themes at all and feel dumb , lol. Is there a tutorial on how to put the different files correctly into a child theme ? eg , header.php , footer.pho , etc ?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeThe menu structure and naming and where each menu item is linked to is the most important
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeFor instance with the menu creation , I would like that information stored with the child theme, storing the attributes of the menu items would be a huge plus as it will be quite detailed once it is complete.
I have WordPress design for dummies , Professional WordPress design and development , WordPress pushing the limits , PHP and MySql for dynamic websites and CSS3 the missing manual to help figure out how to do this. Along with the Codex , the same information is given with just a partial list of files that can be stored in the child and “make the same directory structure but it never goes beyond that with any details.

In reply to: Steps to creating a child themeThere is no way to have the menu customizations stored in the child theme instead of the parent theme ? Also I want to use the images directory that I created in the CHILD theme not the images directory in the parent theme but get_template_directory_url always returns the parent images directory. How would I get it to return the child images directory instead ? I have full ftp and shell access to the server the website is on.
Thank you for your quick reply Stephan 🙂
