a few problems
-
Hi there –
just wondering if you could please help me with the expound theme:
1. when you click on a post it take you to the wrong page – ie click on ‘why use me post’ and it goes to about page. Don’t know why?
2. How do I get rid of the ‘leave a reply’ thing on the pages?
3. how do I get rid of the uncategorised flags on the photos please?
4. how can I change the colour of the navigation box to a lighter grey please?
5. How do I extend the feature box so you can see the whole post on the homepage of the four posts?
6. How do I format the featured article to look like it should? Instead of all bunched up?
Many many thanks for all your help

and do i need to rename them so they are not confused when the theme is updated?
does this now mean that any template stuff i must do in the child style sheet, not in the template files themselves where I have been doing html stuff, for things not to be overwritten??
Yes from now onwards all your CSS customizations will go into
expound-child/style.css
should i copy all my files across to the child theme? header.php, images languages, etc etc ??
Take a backup of the
expound
directory and only copy the files which you modified to theexpound-child
directory. Don’t rename any of them. The files in child theme directories can never be overwritten.ah okay – thank you so so much – you have been exceptionally helpful
would you happen to know how to make a child theme for imbalance 2 ? just that it seems to be slightly different?
in that there is not featured-content.php
…but there is theme-options.php file?? could that be the one?
The method for creating a Child theme is same for all WordPress themes.
What is to be changed in the littlebusinsses website?

Make sure that you do not copy the functions.php file to the child theme – as that generally crashes a site. See:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php
You should also be aware that some themes will not work with a child theme – so if Imbalance2 is not working, I’d suggest that you ask the developer about it – as that’s not a theme supported on these forum.
i’m more worried about what I have already changed in the themes without knowing that when they are updated the changes will disappear…

If you’ve modified theme files, yes, that’s a valid concern. You can use a file comparison program such as http://www.diffchecker.com/ to find your changes – and then move them to a child theme.
but if I have already changed the original text how can I compare the two?
Download a new copy of the theme to your local computer from here:
oh i see – thank you so so much!
Hi Again – I don’t want my posts to have ‘uncatagorized’ or the date on them – how do I change this please?
Try this
