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? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Fast and Secure Contact Form] How can I have Label and TextField in the same row?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-and-secure-contact-form-how-can-i-have-label-and-textfield-in-the-same-row/) * [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-and-secure-contact-form-how-can-i-have-label-and-textfield-in-the-same-row/page/2/#post-1536392) * 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. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Fast and Secure Contact Form] How can I have Label and TextField in the same row?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-and-secure-contact-form-how-can-i-have-label-and-textfield-in-the-same-row/) * [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-and-secure-contact-form-how-can-i-have-label-and-textfield-in-the-same-row/page/2/#post-1536391) * 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.

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? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/page/2/#post-1841355) * I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere for help. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/page/2/#post-1841311) * 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.

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? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/#post-1841283) * 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? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/#post-1841274) * > 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. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/#post-1841266) * 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… * ```

<?php bloginfo ('name');?>

``` * 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. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/#post-1841262) * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Adding other files to a child theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/) * Thread Starter [dcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcloud/) * (@dcloud) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-other-files-to-a-child-theme/#post-1841251) * 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.
