Ok, I figured out what I did wrong – I didn’t properly upload the folder to my server. Now I see the top/left settings. Unfortunately they don’t line up very well and there still doesn’t seem to be any way to get the same behavior with the radio buttons.
Any news on a radio button on same line update?
Well I did what you said and I don’t see any Reset to top or left. All I have is Reset the styles to default.
Mike, this is awesome news. However, when I go to upload the new si-contact-form folder to my plug-in folder (on the server) it wants to overwrite the one that is already there. Should I let it do this?
And while we’re on the subject, is there a way to make the one-line input boxes taller? — Nevermind, I figured it out. CSS once again.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?Also if I do create my own theme off the original will the updates to the original theme have any effect on the one I created? I’m just wondering if the created theme will update along with the original.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?I apologize to everyone. I was getting frustrated. I thank all of you for taking the time to help. alchymyth, thank you for that post. I’m going to give that a try.
After I do this should I “activate” that theme in the Themes area of my dashboard? And forgive me if this sounds dense, but will the new theme keep the changes on the site even if I have to update the original theme?

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere for help.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?I have read the documentation, but I am not a coder and so none of it makes any sense to me. That’s why I came here to ask my questions. All I want to know is what they mean by “…as long as that file is properly linked.”
I want to keep the changes I’ve made to the Twenty Ten files, so I don’t loose them with any updates. But I don’t know how to save any other files but the CSS one. That’s why I came here, to ask about this.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?I have created a child theme. Nevermind……I will wait until someone can actually help me.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?There is no amended file. I’ll say it again….I have made changes already to files in the Twenty Ten theme (folder). I want to keep these changes so they don’t disappear when I update WP or the theme. So what I want to know is how to keep these changes – how do I place these files in the child folder so I can keep the changes?

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?But why would I open the file and make any changes? The file already has my changes in it. I want to keep all the little changes I’ve made in the different files (within the child theme folder) so they don’t keep disappearing every time there’s a WP update.
So again, my question is, how do I place these files (the ones I’ve made changes in) into the child theme folder without getting the parse and syntax errors?

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?In your example, you need to place a copy of the header.php template file – complete with your modifications – in the child theme.
Yes, but how? You mean place the whole thing in there, just as it is? Sorry, I don’t know anything about this stuff.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?Ok, for example……
I have made a modification to the funtions.php where I inserted my logo over where the text name usually is. Like so…
<h1 id="site-title"> <span> <a href="<?php bloginfo ('home');?>" rel="home" title="<?php bloginfo('name');?>"/> <img src="<?php echo bloginfo ('template_directory');?>/images/ddlogo.jpg" alt="<?php bloginfo ('name');?>" /> </a> </span> </h1><!--end of h1 site-title-->Now I’m not sure how to make this work as a funtions.php file in the child theme. I tried just putting it between beginning and ending PHP tags, but I get the following error….
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/dcloud/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 3
So I’m not sure how to make these files work. Obviously I need to add some kind of proper link, as the Codex page says. I just don’t know how to do it. I’m not a coder.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?I have some things I’ve made changes to in other files – like funtions.php, index.php, etc. You can’t just stick the whole file in there (in the folder with the child theme) without properly linking it.
There’s a way to do this and that’s what I need to know.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?But I don’t have a template. Just created a folder and put a style.css file in it. If I try using the other files from my main theme it gives me errors.
Like I said in my last post – on the Codex web site they said the files should be “properly linked”. I want to know how to link them.
