Taking the "Using Filter Hooks in WordPress Child Themes" Tutorial

I do have the theme activated.

And, I think you are telling me that I have to have the function in the child’s function.php not the themes, is that correct? If so, I am doing that.

I am still trying to get the nomenclature of everything down…

Thanks for all the help. If I have it right, I will take the discussion to that forum. I appreciate your time.

lol Sorry for not being clear… I placed this code..

function childtheme_postheader() {
    echo 'bacon';
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader','childtheme_postheader');

in the childs theme’s funtion.php.

I was under the impression that this code…

// Information in Post Header
// Basically the stuff you see at the top of every post
function thematic_postheader() {
    global $id, $post, $authordata;

    // The Post Title
    $posttitle = apply_filters('thematic_postheader_posttitle',$posttitle);

    // The Post Meta
    $postmeta = apply_filters('thematic_postheader_postmeta',$postmeta);

    // Is this a post or a page?
    if ($post->post_type == 'page' || is_404()) {
        // If it's a page show only the Post Title
        $postheader = $posttitle;
    } else {
        // If it's a post show the Post Title and The Post Meta
        $postheader = $posttitle . $postmeta;
    }

    // Echo the Post Header
    echo apply_filters( 'thematic_postheader', $postheader ); // Filter to override default post header
}

Was already in the the Thematic’s function.php…

I tried return and there was no change. I think I will take it to the forum you mentioned, but I greatly appreciate your time helping me work this through.
