Esmi, if you are reading this, I’m nearly done. Got a couple of wee things to iron out here, if you can be of any help that would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello? Anyone there?

🙂

Esmi, I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough with Sandbox.

This is what I have so far

This is my most recent post. Decided to leave this thread as it’s taken a slightly different turn.

Thanks again 🙂

@esmi I really don’t why I wrote that. I can’t find the file I was talking about. Must have been index.php all along. Clearly I am out of my comfort zone of working with InDesign/Illustrator etc. Thanks for the link to Thematic. It’s actually based on Sandbox. What appealed to me about Sandbox is that there is not much php involved so it’s mainly a CSS job. Thematic should be the same I imagine?

@adeptris. Thanks, I’ve had a wee look at some of those files, I found a call to 404 in the loop.php file. I’m getting my fingers in about 3 themes right now, which is a bit chaotic. I really appreciate all this help from everyone, but I understand that there is not one strict solution to this.

If Thematic only requires css to modify it, I may go along with this or stick to sandbox. You can see by my visuals that the final site will not really be that complicated at all (will it?).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I meant index.html not index.php!

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. I’m pretty certain the child is picking up the style sheet. This is line 7 of my main.css
@import url('../twentyten/style.css');

4. I had already removed <?php get_search_form(); ?> from 404.php

This is how it’s looking so far

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="main-content">

	<h2>Error 404 - Not Found</h2>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the speedy reply esmi!

1. In the parent style.css I found the following chunk of code:

/* =Fonts
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
body,
input,
textarea,
.page-title span,
.pingback a.url {
	font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif;
}

h3#comments-title,
h3#reply-title,
#access .menu,
#access div.menu ul,
#cancel-comment-reply-link,
.form-allowed-tags,
#site-info,
#site-title,
#wp-calendar,
.comment-meta,
.comment-body tr th,
.comment-body thead th,
.entry-content label,
.entry-content tr th,
.entry-content thead th,
.entry-meta,
.entry-title,
.entry-utility,
#respond label,
.navigation,
.page-title,
.pingback p,
.reply,
.widget-title,
.wp-caption-text,
input[type=submit]
{
	font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif;
}
pre {
	font-family: "Courier 10 Pitch", Courier, monospace;
}
code {
	font-family: Monaco, Consolas, "Andale Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", monospace;
}

I pasted this into the child style.css, and replaced every font family specification to Monaco,Lucida Console,monospace; and there was no difference at all. Is there anything else in the parent style.css I am missing?

2. Sounds easy enough, that shouldn’t be a problem 🙂

3. Sounds like the should do the trick

4. So, you’re saying I can put the quote in the footer, but position it absolutely on the top of the page? Interesting solution, thanks!

Thank you!
