• I’m using Theron Lite theme and wondering if anyone has advice on a few bits of customization?

    I need to remove the left sidebar from all the pages of my site. Does anyone know how to code this out in the child theme?

    I also need to make the header appear on the front page of the site. I’ve set the front page to static in the theme options but the header still does not appear. Any suggestions for making this work?

    I’m really new to wordpress so appreciate any specifics, the site is http://www.winterplan.net/

    If you modify the theme’s original files, your changes will be lost once the theme updates.

    many thanks! that definitely worked.

    also, is there a way to take out the contact form and to change the colour of the header and footer?

    Thanks Andrew, that’s what I thought, and why I put in the child theme.

    any idea why the code didn’t work in the child css?

    Can you post here the contents of your Child Theme stylesheet? If the file is too large, may you use http://Pastebin.com ?

    Have you activated the Child Theme through the dashboard?

    Thread Starter MishWinters

    (@mishwinters)

    thanks! of course, that was the problem.

    I activated it, but now I’m getting a 500 internal server error and can’t log into the site…any ideas?

    What files consist within your Child Theme?

    Thread Starter MishWinters

    (@mishwinters)

    just the stylesheet and footer.php

    The problem may be within your footer.php file.

    ok thanks. I deleted the footer sidebard code at the top earlier, but then repasted it back in.

    Is there any inconsistency here?

    I don’t see any inconsistency, but what is different on this footer.php file than the parent’s?

    Thread Starter MishWinters

    (@mishwinters)

    ok cool, i don’t see any inconsistency either. to be sure, i pasted the parent footer.php back into the child footer.php and refreshed the site admin.

    No luck! still locked out..

    Would it be an option to deactivate the theme and reinstall it?
