Hi,
Love the theme!. I’m a newbie and I am trying to make an Esplanade child theme on my test site.I created a directory called esplanade child in wp-content/themes. Then I created a style.css and placed it in the child directory. I activated the child theme. When I view the site, everything is moved to the left side of the screen, even though my theme settings appear to be the same as before I activated the child theme. The Header image is gone and I do not have an option to choose a default image or an image from the media library. The Background color I had entered previously is gone. The content in my menus and sidebars appears to still be present and links appear to be working. So, what am I missing?
My website can be viewed here: http://testing.craftingmadesimple.com
Here is the content in my style.css sheet I placed in the child theme:
/*
Theme Name: Esplanade Child
Theme URI: http://testing.craftingmadesimple.com
Description: Child Theme for Esplanade
Author: Bernice
Author URI: http://testing.craftingmadesimple.com
Template: esplanade
Version: 0.1
*/@import url(“../esplanade/style.css”);
BerniceLParticipantNo longer need help with child theme. I used the One Click Child Theme plugin and it worked great.
jalex11ParticipantBerniceL – I also used the One Click plugin, but I didn’t get any changes to take effect when I tried editiing style.css in the child theme. Your changes worked?
BerniceLParticipantjalex11 – Sorry it took so long to reply. I could not remember how I setup the child theme. I had to find my notes. I only made one change to the Esplanade theme, which was to show full content of posts instead of excerpt. I did not edit the style.css. I did not have any luck with that either.
I do not know if this is the right way, but this is what I did:
I opened the Esplanade content.php file in Notepad++. Changed the code to show full content in posts. Saved it to my computer as a new document in My Documents. Used my FTP client to upload the edited file to the Esplanade Child Theme folder. Checked my site and posts now displayed full content.I updated the Esplanade theme today and my posts are still displaying full content.
I hope this helps!
