In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Child Themeedsmi. I am not skilled enough with code for that. I found a theme that would let me switch sidebars off on pages but I didn’t like so much about the theme. Everything I tried had a problem with it. I’ve decided on Headway. Bought it a few hours ago. Just getting to grips with it now. I can switch any item off anywhere and simply drag and drop anything anywhere. It certainly looks like it will do everything I need. I use a lot of sub domains so having something versatile like this is great for me. The tutorials and documentation is the best I have ever seen for WP add ons and the community seems really active which is a good sign.

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Child ThemeWOW Headway has changed !! It’s been a while since I looked at that. Everything I listed above is straight out of the box. Page by page, post by post features, drag and drop for everything. The skins are now built in !! Last time I looked it was around $80 to buy but it looked like one of the defaults from WP. The skins were around $45 each. Most of the skins were fixed. To change color you needed a different skin, that’s what I meant by getting expensive. All of that has changed. I will be buying Headway today
Thanks for the link raindrops

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Child ThemeHeadway becomes expensive as you need to buy the skins that go with it. Not tried Suffusion so I’ll look at that today. I used Flexibility3 and thought I had found what I wanted. It’s very customizable, in fact too much !! Once you go away from the basic color you end up having to set almost everything you can imagine.
What I’m looking for is this:
I want to be able to switch elements on or off page by page. No sidebar on my market place for example. Nothing at all on my bio page. Totally different banners on different product pages. No footers on the blog page. That sort of thing.
I want to change the size of elements on specific pages. On the market place I want to use the full width of the page, have menus top and bottom but on product review pages I want the banners, pop boxes and adverts in the side bar to reflect the product. Product adverts change in type and size so the elements need to change as well.
I want to have a Theme look that has certain colors but the look is slightly different on the different type of page. Landing page to be glossy and alive, product review pages to be more business like with just a few appropriate adverts, but the market place to be pizzaz !!
No I know I can employ a good design agency that could do that but I can’t afford it, so I have to do it myself.
I downloaded Artisteer last night and it looks promising. If the business side takes off and brings in some money then I might invest in one of the top programs like Dream Weaver or whatever. It’s been a few years since I used Dream Weaver and from what I remember it is not drag and drop. Things may have changed.
Thanks guys

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Child ThemeThanks Esmi. No I actually meant create a theme. What I want to do is load up a Theme and then change everything I want to change so I end up with my own Theme. I know what I want but I hate the thought of starting from scratch. I’ll check out artisteer.
Thanks

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Child Themeok it only took a few seconds and I had hundreds of create child theme links!!
I get the point now Caroline. I will have to do some learning !! Colours,fonts and sizes are my usual changes so a simple child theme will take care of that.
One question to the forum readers. I like drag and drop. What editor would you guys recommend for designing a page or site that would create all the necessary files I would need to create a Theme?

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Very CleanThis is an example of what I want to get rid of
The best blog authors all recommend a video wordpress plugin.

More than happy to keep the text below in the footer but want to get rid of the email address

If you have a quick look at wirelessheadphones.com-review.co.uk you will see the errant text.

In reply to: [Sixhours] [Theme: Sixhours] Very CleanHi
Love the Theme. Using it for a series of review pages which double up as review and affiliate sales. Base site is com-review.co.uk. From there I have added sub domains which give me:
wirelessheadphones.com-review.co.uk
noisecancellingheadphones.com-review.co.uk
bluetoothheadphones.com-review.co.ukThis allows me to get around the problem that all the great keywords are already taken as domain names !! Only time will tell if this works or not.
I need to add a load of content now so the next week will be busy. After that I will spread out in to The Great Outdoors and cover a whole load of different products and then to Apple gadets. This next few months will be busy.
I am happy to base the whole lot on Sixhours but I need to get rid of some of your code. I understand why it’s there, after all the Theme is free so I am happy to pay for it. More than happy to have a single reference to you as the creator as it is on the footer. Now I am making a huge assumption here. Did you put the text “The webs finest article spinner plugin.” at the bottom of the pages ??
Also would like your advice on how to make a few tweaks, I’d like to change the size of the sidebar and how to have the side bar on for posts and off for pages. My ‘Shop’ is a page and the sidebar interferes with the inbuilt navigation for the affiliate link but I want the sidebar for the posts as my advertising is carried there.
Sorry if this is a lot. As I said I am happy to pay for this as it will be the foundation of around 50 to 100 web sites over the next few months and that will continue to grow (assuming they are successful of course!!)
