[Theme: Catch Box] issues with child-theme, width, and menu links
-
Hello,
Background: I have Catch Box 1.4.1 on WordPress 3.4.2. I’m running with Single-Column No Sidebar. I’m also running wp-ecommerce 3.8.8.5 with several additional plugins.
I have created a custom menu that links to several pages as well as to product categories from wp-ecommerce.
On a laptop running 1366×768, Catch Box uses the following to limit page width.
/* One column */ .one-column #page { max-width: 690px; }
If I update the style.css in the theme to be
/* One column */ .one-column #page { max-width: auto; }
Then the screen fills up more of the window properly instead of being scrunched up. The menus still work correctly.
Where this goes wrong is when I try to create a child-theme to have the page width changes persist across updates.
/* Theme Name: Catch-Box Child Description: Child template by Sam Author: Sam Version: 1.0 Template: catch-box */ @import url('../catch-box/style.css'); /* One column */ .one-column #page { max-width: auto; }
When I do this, the pages look correct, but the menu links to product categories in wp-ecommerce disappear.
I’ve tried disabling every plugin except wp-ecommerce and it still doesn’t work.
How do I get both the width to display correctly as well as having the links to the wp-ecommerce pages display?
Thanks,
Sam

can you send me the URL so that I can see what is going wrong…
Sakin,
Unfortunately I’m running this on a VM. I started with Bitnami and their WordPress stack and added in various themes & plugins.
I’ll see what I can do though.
Thanks,
SamSakin,
We’ve finally been able to put a test onto the webhost. A simple 1 page is at http://www.averygallery.com/wordpress
As you can see on the main page, the text is centered in a small area. On a higher resolution screen it looks tiny.
We’ve set it Catchbox default layout to be one-column no sidebar. I haven’t tried it with a child theme yet. Nor have I added menus and more pages yet. I’ll work on that soon.
Shouldn’t Catchbox fill the screen more in single-column mode?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
SamHi Sam,
When you select the One Column with no sidebar then the display that is showing in http://www.averygallery.com/wordpress/ is correct.
But id you want to show the full width then you can add the following css in “Custom CSS” Box in your Theme Option under Appearance Tab in WordPress Dashboard:
.one-column #page { max-width: 690px; }

This works great for the site! Thank you very much!
