Thank you for your reply.

I’m using Ubuntu on Virtual Box so I have admin access to everything. It’s just a test server on a LAN.

So far I’ve just chowned the /var/www/html/wordpress to www-data to get it wordpress to work but I have no idea how secure/insecure this is. I’m guessing it’s not a very safe way to set up a production server.

I’ve installed vsftpd and configured an ftp user with home dir /var/www/html/wordpress. I can access with filezilla. If I use this user and try to use any of the wordpress admin panel commands requiring ftp access it fails with a cannot write error, presumably a permissions problem.

What is the best way to configure permissions for Apache, PHP & FTP so that the ftp features within the wordpress admin panel will work.

Thank you for the link. I’d like to see a basic explanation of best security/permissions practices for setting up a LAMP Web server.

Thank you

Please disregard last post, I’ve figured it out. It was just a matter of adding
#menu-footer-menu li {display: inline}
to the child’s style.css

Thanks again

Thanks for your reply esmi,

How can I change the behaviour of a function in the parent theme’s functions.php?

Thank you James,

You were right. I had left a tag in the header-1.php file by mistake.
Thank you 🙂

Hi again Dave,

Thanks again for your prompt reply.
I still don’t get it.
I’ve renamed the file header-2.php
I’ve tried calling it with
get_header(header-2)
and
get_header(header2)
neither seem to work.

Aha!

This did it.

<div id=”access”>
<?php wp_nav_menu ()?>
</div>

Wrapping it a div worked, just using the same styles as the normal menu. I can easily modify it by making my own id (based on id – access) in the style sheets.

Thanks again David 🙂
