I tried contacting you thru FB last time… the contact button on the Frumph.net site isn’t linking to anything. FB request sent by Melissa..

Yea, the code above lets me change the width of the body.home like I like but it effects all pages. Here’s my link:

http://www.artattackfx.com/fl

Almost there 🙂

The “front_Page” was the one I needed. It’s showing up on the right side ONLY if my content area is the original 550px. I want the content area to stay at 760px for all pages and have the side bar still on right ONLY for front page.
Thanks.

I have my previous issues resolved! I successfully created a child theme and WP recognized right away. I brought in the menu bar (left) and expanded the width of the content area, like I wanted, but I need help having the right side menu bar show up. I have an image widget under the right side bar but its not showing up.

I cant drag and drop the child folder onto my ftp?

On my Desktop:

1. I have the WP Install Folder
2. I have the child them folder in the “wp-content/themes” folder
3. In the child folder I have style.css looking like this:

/*
Theme Name: Easel Child Theme
Theme URI: http://artattackfx.com/fl
Description: Child theme for the Easel theme
Author: mnm82
Author URI: http://artattackfx.com/fl
Template: easel
Version: 3.5.1
*/
@import url("../easel/style-default.css");

.narrowcolumn {
width: 750px;
}

body.home .narrowcolumn {
width: 550px;
}

and the layout-foot looking like this:

<?php if (!easel_sidebars_disabled()) easel_get_sidebar('under-blog'); ?>
		</div>
		<div id="content-foot"></div>
<?php
if (!easel_is_signup() && !easel_sidebars_disabled()) {
	if (easel_is_layout('3cl,3cr')) easel_get_sidebar('left');
	if (easel_is_layout('2cr,2crw,3c,3cr') && is_home()) easel_get_sidebar('right');
}
?>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div>
	<div id="subcontent-wrapper-foot"><?php do_action('easel-subcontent-wrapper-foot'); ?></div>
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper-foot"><?php do_action('easel-content-wrapper-foot'); ?></div>

I then try to drag the “easel-child” folder into the FTP site “themes” folder where the original “easel” theme is located as well.

It does not let me drop files in. Not as originals, not in a folder and not even as a zip.

Alternative:

I upload the .zip file through Dashboard… “install themes” upload and I still get the following:

Installing Theme from uploaded file: easel-child.zip
Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

After finally getting a child them uploaded I tried to re-do and now its telling me

“The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

This is my style sheet and the only thing I have in my child folder:

/*
Theme Name: Easel Child Theme
Theme URI: http://artattackfx.com/fl
Description: Child theme for the Easel theme
Author: mnm82
Author URI: http://artattackfx.com/fl
Template: easel
Version: 3.5.1
*/
@import url(“../easel/style.css”);
.narrowcolumn {
width: 750px;
}

body.home .narrowcolumn {
width: 550px;
}

I then zip this file to upload as a Theme because it does not just show up in themes automatically like all the tutorials say it should :/

Spending Hours trying to figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

OK. So I finally got a child theme installed by converting it to zip file (not just creating folder in directory). Now I an getting a page with the following message on the bottom on page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/artattac/public_html/fl/wp-content/themes/easel-child/layout-foot.php on line 9

I have the child theme folder with a style.css that looks like this:

/*
@import url("../easel/style.css");
Theme Name:     Easel Child Theme
Theme URI:      http://artattackfx.com/fl
Description:    Child theme for the Easel theme
Author:         mnm82
Author URI:     http://artattackfx.com/fl
Template:       easel
Version:        3.5.1
*/
    width: 750px;
}

body.home .narrowcolumn {
        width: 550px;
}

AND

The layout-foot you mentioned to change that looks like this:

<?php if (!easel_sidebars_disabled()) easel_get_sidebar('under-blog'); ?>
		</div>
		<div id="content-foot"></div>
<?php
if (!easel_is_signup() && !easel_sidebars_disabled()) {
	if (easel_is_layout('3cl,3cr')) easel_get_sidebar('left');
	if (easel_is_layout('2cr,3c,3cr') && is_home()) easel_get_sidebar('right');

}
?>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div>
	<div id="subcontent-wrapper-foot"><?php do_action('easel-subcontent-wrapper-foot'); ?></div>
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper-foot"><?php do_action('easel-content-wrapper-foot'); ?></div>

Everything is aligned left,Left menu is as wide as the page and Right menu no where to be found…. Am I supposed to copy ALL of the .php files from original if I am trying to achieve the same look?
