Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Expound] Child theme exampleThank you so much for going to the effort to help me out with this. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but when I upload a child theme with that code, it tells me the theme installed correctly but then all of the formatting is removed from the website, like a bad version of wikipedia.
I then tracked down all the .css files inside and outside the css folder and included them:
/*
Theme Name: Expound Child
Template: expound
*/@import url(“../expound/style.css”);
@import url(“../expound/rtl.css”);
@import url(“../expound/css/expound.css”);
@import url(“../expound/css/buddypress.css)”;
@import url(“../expoud/css/editor-style.css”);
@import url(“../expound/css/reset.css”);
/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */This is what it looks like both with the code you supplied and the one I have listed above.
I think I am going to install this on a subdomain and let it stew over night. I’ve had really weird issues fix themselves if I leave it alone for a little while.
Thanks again for the assistance. I’ll check back after work tomorrow!

In reply to: [Expound] Child theme exampleIt says installed correctly but then when I preview/activate there is a only an ugly, basic version of the website. As if there is no CSS at all. The style.css file is actually outside the main CSS folder. It contains minimal code with an a line to import another CSS file. The expound.css is in the CSS folder and I think is the one I want to update.
Because the child theme is installing but stripping away almost all the css I think I am failing to properly import the rest of the CSS. I’ve never worked with a theme so complicated that I had to do more than /themename/style.css (I don’t have the exact import code in front of me).
Thanks so much to everyone helping me try to get to the bottom of this. The custom css plug-in adapted the size of the secondary but was not able to adjust the primary. As a result my new coln sizes were too big when combined.

In reply to: [Expound] Child theme exampleI have made several successful child themes before so it’s hard to know what is going wrong. The codex was the first place I looked.
The zip folder is expound1.8zip and the folder inside is expound.
I have since updated to 1.9. Maybe that is part of the issue?I also think the multiple .css files are confusing me too

In reply to: [Expound] Child theme exampleThanks for the response. I tried several of those plug-ins and they were ineffective.
