    I’m trying to create a child theme from hi-response. I have create a style.css and a functions.php but it doesn’t seem to be working. I checked the parent style.css and it doesn’t have any code in it other than the intro text for a standard style file. Ive noticed that all the styling seems to be in css > style.css.php. I’m assuming I need to have this in a css folder in my child theme, but I have no idea what code I need to write in it.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks.

    There is more than likely something custom with the theme. I did notice that the Hi-Response theme is premium which is harder to get support for here on the .ORG forums.

    They do have some documentation here http://emilolsson.com/hi-response/documentation/

    We feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations. Doing this will provide the developer with the income they need to make WordPress awesome.
    Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

    Thanks Justin,

    Unfortunately, having hard time getting hold of the vendor but I’ll keep plugging away.

    Event hough the theme is a commercial theme, the same child theme principles apply. As long as the child theme header set up correctly http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme, you should simple just mimic the file structure of the parent theme, if you need to override something.

    The authors documentation should contain and list of actions and filters is it uses them. This will allow you to hook deeper and modify the core without touching the parent theme.

    Good luck
