Hmm, so ok.. child theme created atleast and I have a template created that doesnt seem to be doing much at all but its calling in things such as the header php and footer. * Basically i dont want the forum centered, i want it to the left side with a bigger margin on the right for advertising, and then a custom header up top with hyperlinks to other pages built into the header. I think it’ll be best to creat my forum at a fixed with rather then a % fluid width i think its called. So that my content keeps its quality * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Customizing a Forum page with twenty eleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/) * Thread Starter [crazy3rdgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crazy3rdgen/) * (@crazy3rdgen) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/#post-2463092) * I understand that a theme is made up of a whole bunch of templates. But most say to create a child theme in order to bypass the default theme on wordpress meaning to just edit what you want on the child theme css style sheet. My question is which content should go where? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Customizing a Forum page with twenty eleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/) * Thread Starter [crazy3rdgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crazy3rdgen/) * (@crazy3rdgen) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/#post-2463089) * Still confused.. sorry, what im asking is what should I use for the child theme and what should i use for my template. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Customizing a Forum page with twenty eleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/) * Thread Starter [crazy3rdgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crazy3rdgen/) * (@crazy3rdgen) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/#post-2463084) * So what should my child theme be doing compared to what I want my template to do.. Thats my confusion Like i can change the forum width with both of them. I guess thats what my template would do if I want a different layout for a differnt page I would make a different template. So what should my child theme even do? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Customizing a Forum page with twenty eleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/) * Thread Starter [crazy3rdgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crazy3rdgen/) * (@crazy3rdgen) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/#post-2463022) * ok I got ya, so my custom templates should actually be in the child theme folder? I have it in twenteleven or it doesnt matter? * Im a tad confused because whats so different from the theme compared to the templates as for what each of their duties should be. (im thinking) The child theme will be what I want my site to be based off of layout wise? Like basically the same for each page and then my template will be the cusomized information/content? Am i getting this right? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Customizing a Forum page with twenty eleven](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/) * Thread Starter [crazy3rdgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crazy3rdgen/) * (@crazy3rdgen) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customizing-a-forum-page-with-twenty-eleven/#post-2462992) * ok, I haven’t edited the theme itself but like you said I did create a child theme to originally change things such as forum width. I understand the child theme over-rides the parent theme when making changes, im not sure why i was told to create a custom template?? With the child theme in place won’t every page have the same lay out as the child theme? * thanks for your time * sean Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total)
