    Hi Nikeo, thank you for the quick response.

    I do think that would be a useful extension. I will be sure to share, should I be able to come up with something useful.

    Maybe a quick question of a different kind: am I right to assume that changing the height of the slider would also require some coding? Could you point me in the right direction?

    Hi Richie,
    I had done all that already. Unfortunately that does not solve the issue.

    Naturally, I had changed the Template, by deleting the ‘-plus’.

    I feel I have tried all I can. I resaved all mesocolumn settings, just in case the child theme needs that reset. But the issue remains.

    I really don’t feel like setting up the whole site from scratch, just so I can use the child theme. The main theme, with some of my own mods works perfectly. But I will get into trouble once there is a theme update of course.

    Thanks Richie,
    that really helped.

    I also am now in the process of converting my changes to a child theme.

    Previously I had hard coded the dutch language into your PHP files. I have now undone that and created nl.NL language files, which works fine.

    On the converting to the child theme: that seems to behave strangely. So, I have a clean mesocolumn installation now, and added the child-theme by copying your mesocolumn-child folder to the folder where all the themes are, so besides the mesocolumn folder.

    If I then switch to the child theme in wordpress, there are a few problems:
    1) for the normal site (wider screen) to primary menu is all messed up. One menu item is missing, the order of items has changed and the category colors that I had defined are no longer there.
    2) the mobile site (so screen width <770px) has also a problem with the menu: the ‘select page’ and ‘select menu’ options on top have disappeared. There is still a orange bar, but it is not as high as it should be.

    Other than that the child theme works.

    Any thoughts?

    (If you want the put the previous topic down as ‘resolved’, then that is fine with me. I can then raise the child theme issue in a now topic.)

    Thanks again.

    Thanks again for your quick reply.

    I am so confused now. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that none of your ‘bp_*’ actions are defined at the moment. Is that correct?

    And I could define those in a custom-functions.php? Which is quite a neat feature that you have built in.

    My confusion is that I thought I understand your code, but apparently I don’t. :-O

    Let me give you an example of a more basic question that I am trying to resolve. On a post page, you allow for social buttons, an advert, tags, and links to related posts, all below the actual article. I would like to change the order of these additional features, maybe also change their appearance.

    Where (and how) do I do that?

    Thanks, Richie.

    Thanks for your reply, Richie.

    I do understand how add_action and do_action work.
    My problem is: WHERE do you define your add_action’s?

    The reason why I need this: I need to modify files such as page.php, where I want to change some of the lay-out, for instance I need to modify the content of:
    <?php do_action( ‘bp_after_page_content’ ); ?>

    I just can’t find where you define ‘bp_after_page_content’ and the other actions. 🙂

    Thanks, Richie. That really helped me solve the problem.
    There was no front-page.php, nothing like that. I re-installed the home-feat-cat.php file and that solved the problem.

    I now understand where I caused the issue myself. See, I have been changing the language of your Theme into Dutch. This means that I have edited most PHP files. I clearly messed up in this one file.

    Thanks again for your support.
    Have a great day.

    Hi Richie,
    thanks for your reply!
    I am using your most recent versions 1.6.1. in its standard version. I have basically build something similar as your Mesocolumn example. So, I am not using a child theme.

    The strange thing is that it used to be just fine at first. I have no clue what I did to make it show the maximum number of 10 featured homepage categories.

    I have now found the database location where you store the settings. The settings are listed in the database as I have defined them on the settings page. That means that the categories locations that I do not want to show contain the default values: “choose a category” and “select a number”. I assume that this is correct. Therefore, I assume it is an issue in the coding.

    Could you please point me to the PHP file and rough location where the HTML code for these featured categories is generated?

    Thanks!
