Hello Cais – thank you so much! I had ticked it as resolved but so appreciate your reply. I’m not very au fait with templates but will find my way with the link you sent.

What I’ve seen is that sometimes Yoast sees that the Alt text is there and confirms that it’s so, but I’ve done nothing different on that gallery than I did on the others where it complains that images are untexted.

But now I have to conclude that perhaps Yoast has a bug because when I go to view the page with the offending images, they all have alt text because I see it when I hover over them in the thumbnails. So….feeling much better.

Perhaps this is based on a false premise though, will definitely try your suggestion and make that happen. I want to feel ‘solid’ about this factor.

Thanks again.

Okay so I’m back because I’m too fascinated… no I don’t mean that the child theme is in a subdirectory, it is on the same level.

Yes I might have to give up with this theme – am losing so much time. Thanks both of you!

Nope – can’t see where to do that. I took the cut and paste shown about 46 min ago from that page i.e. themes section of the dashboard. Where does one activate it?

I doubt it’ll activate if it says it’s incomplete?

Nope, still getting the same error message. Here’s my style.css:

Oh I somehow didn’t notice the z-index: 6; at the bottom… is there a conflict between that and the header bit at the top?

Okay, found the template.php file under includes directory, and have simply cut and pasted it. Holding thumbs…

Here’s what I followed to get thus far:
How to Create a Child Theme
Create a directory in your themes directory to hold the child theme. The themes directory is wp-content/themes. You can name the directory whatever you want, but it is common practice to use the name of the parent theme folder with “-child” appended to it. So, for instance, if you are making a child of the twentytwelve theme, your folder name would be twentytwelve-child.
In the child theme directory, create a file called style.css. This is the only file required to make a child theme. etc etc

But now WP is giving me some uphill about the theme not being complete – see cut & paste:

Available Themes
You only have one theme installed right now. Live a little! You can choose from over 1,000 free themes in the ww.wp.xz.cn Theme Directory at any time: just click on the Install Themes tab above.

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description
WP-Creativix Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “WP-Creativix” parent theme.

(But the WP-Creativix theme is clearly already installed and functioning well)

I should add that I took away the melded version of illustration|animation|design – you’ll still see this happening on here. when you hover over the lower bits of the design menu for instance.
