In reply to: Changing the footer in my twenty-eleven child themeDoes this mean if I copy the twentyeleven footer.php file into my child theme folder and then edit this to remove ‘proudly powered by…’ it will remove it? Or, do I need to add any other file to my child theme folder? Thanks!
Thanks, Kimbolini! I’ll try that next time…as I’m sure there’ll be a next time! This time, though, as I didn’t see your post, I just went via the host control panel and did a restore from a week ago and now the site’s back up (as of a week ago). I’m now attempting to make a child theme first to make changes like removing ‘proudly powered by wordpress’ (see above) and to (I hope) prevent losing these changes on upgrades!

In reply to: How to increase header width on Mantra theme?Have discovered I have some problem with competing themes…Twenty Eleven theme is activated as current theme and Twenty Ten layout and defaults actually showing up on the site which can see in ‘view source’ (twenty ten style css), and now another white screen of death situation so guess this is a different issue I’ll continue elsewhere!
Under view source on my home page it said: css style was Twenty Ten…(despite saying current theme was Twenty Eleven in ‘manage themes’)
So, under manage themes, I then tried to re-install Twenty Eleven, but it said already installed, so I ‘activated’ Twenty Ten and then looked in footer.php and saw the code that you mention above which includes: ( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
However, I want to use Twenty Eleven not Twenty Ten, so I re- activated Twenty Eleven, and….WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH 🙁 can’t log in or access my site or admin yet again!I’ve realised that all the code I can see and access is exactly how I had it before the ‘crash’ (e.g there is hardly any code in footer.php because I had deleted it previously to get rid of the ‘proudly powered by…’ text) but any changes I make to it do nothing to the website!
Also, when I added my own jpeg as a header image (after the crash) the corresponding code I could access only gave the default image name, not the new header image name, so I can’t, for ex, change header width either. Does it sound like two copies is a possibility?…thing is I don’t know how to look in my directory (I do everything online, i don’t have a local folder or use the wordpress application – I’m using one of those hosters that make it easier) The theme selected under ‘manage themes’ says ‘Twenty Eleven’.
But the other weird thing is that although it says current theme isTwenty Eleven, the layout and defaults now look exactly like Twenty Ten!!I guess to remove ‘proudly powered..’ and make the other changes, I first need to locate the hidden files/theme that is actually generating the site?? (and then create a child theme…?) Apologies for extreme noviceness :/

In reply to: Removing page title on the pageLast week, I deleted the code: <h1 class=”entry-title”><?php the_title(); ?></h1> (just like Deedubs) from the content-page.php and it worked like a dream and the page name/title stopped appearing on each page.
However, I need to do this again because my site went down and I lost a lot of changes, but this line of code is not there in the contents-page.php (e.g. I can still see the space where I deleted it originally) but the page title is showing up again on every page as though no changes have been made to the content-page.phpCan anyone explain what has happened to my code! When I say my site went down, I mean I experienced the ‘white/blank screen of death’ and could no longer access/log into my site etc. The site host “reverted my theme (twenty eleven) to the default” so the site was ok again (but with a lot of work lost and default stuff back) but now the code I removed is still ‘removed’ and I don’t see where the page title instruction is being generated from!
Any ideas how to get around this so I can stop the page title showing up on every page? (or why on earth this is!)

In reply to: How to increase header width on Mantra theme?I am trying to change the width of my header (an image I have uploaded to replace hte default banner) (my theme = twenty eleven) by changing the numbers in the following code in the functions.php file:
// The height and width of your custom header.
// Add a filter to twentyeleven_header_image_width and twentyeleven_header_image_height to change these values.
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_width’, 1000 ) );
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_height’, 288 ) );However, changing these numbers (e.g. 1000 and 288) does nothing to the header at all! I notice that above in this thread, the code being changed includes the name of the custom header image…whereas in the code I have put here it doesn’t mention the file name of the image I uploaded. I can see my jpeg fine as the header image but can’t change it’s width! Can anyone help?
I am trying to remove the text ‘proudly powered by…’ in the footer but there is hardly any code in footer.php and the code above is not there!
What’s weird is that I was able to locate and delete this code before in the footer.php but not after I had problems with the site -My site recently went down (so-called white screen of death phenomenon) and the hosting customer services rep reverted my theme to default (without telling me first!).
Since then, tweaks I used quite happily before are not working at all! I’ve checked it’s the same theme…twenty eleven.
Any idea if twenty eleven has been updated or something and why I can’t find this footer code anymore? and why other tweaks like changing ‘protected password wording’ are not working?!
Thanks!
