Is it possible to use a child theme with Absolum ?
Sure, I just setup and made one myself. Just style.css but it worked fine.
What functions are you trying to put into your child theme? I don’t think that old thread applies with this version.
Remember, don’t copy any of the parent theme functions into your child theme.
I started from here. I created absolum-child subfolder and created a style.css here and added the following:
/*
Theme Name: absolum-child
Theme URI: http://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Description: Child theme for absolum
Author: Mike Giles
Author URI: http://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Template: absolum
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url("../absolum/style.css");
Activated the child theme in wp-admin.
However any css I place in the child css doesn’t get applied.
(I’m doing this on a localhost)
Thanks,

Can you give me an example of that CSS? That way I can try it on my own test installation. Your style.css file above is virtually identical to my own.
Hi,
Just trying to change colors at the moment:
#wrapper {
background: #F7A5FA;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0 20px;
clear: both;
position:relative;
}
#site-title a {
color: #F7A5FA;
background:#1a1a1a;
padding:0 10px;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow:0 1px 2px #111;
float:left;
}
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve also noticed that the header custom image doesn’t display when the child is activated (just the default blue) but does when the parent is activated.
Regards,
