Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Pratt] Header imageHi, you sure can. Its true that if you choose an included header image or upload your own, it will display on all pages. By default, its large on the home page and a little shorter on the other pages.
To override the header that displays on any particular page, just set a featured image that is greater than 1170px and it will display full-width overriding the header image. Optimally, for high-resolution displays, you should upload one that is 1600px wide, but anything 1171px or higher will work this way.

In reply to: [Pratt] How do you take the Call To Action out?Hi, I should add that to the instructions in the readme.txt file and will do that for the next release. The easiest way is to Just add a Text widget to the Sidebar Page Bottom widget area that has nothing but a blank space in it. In general, as soon as a user adds a widget, the sample widget won’t display.

In reply to: [Pratt] Changing Link ColorI would use the Jetpack plugin. It has a module in it called “Custom CSS” that let’s you build a stylesheet that will override what’s in the theme.
To change the default link color, you’d do it like this:
a { color: #xxxxxx; } a:active, a:hover { color: #xxxxxx; }That will change it most places, but there is some CSS in the theme to change link colors based on the color of background being used. For example in the footer or colored sections.

In reply to: [Pratt] Liking the Pratt themeHi, thatgrrl. Thanks for the kind words! Since the theme is new I’m looking for some quotes to put on my site. Do you mind if I use part of the above?
Also, let me know if you need help moving the header text to the side.

In reply to: "Child Themes" within a Theme on WordPress.org?I just wanted to follow-up on this in case anyone stumbled on it. Obviously no one chimed in here, but I did get a theme approved that had a child theme directory in it. I didn’t do any of the “fancy” theme within a theme stuff above, just put a subdirectory in the parent theme called child-theme. Users can then copy that up to the main wp-content/themes/ directory and modify it however they want.
You can check out my theme, Flat Bootstrap, if you want.

In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12Hi, Shammah. I’m so glad we were able to get all your issues resolved. Thanks for updating your review score for the theme as well. Best of luck!
If you have additional questions or issues, you might want to post them in the Flat Bootstrap Theme Forum here on WordPress.org. That way I’ll have better visibility of it.

In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12Hi, Shammah. That plugin should have set login back to the default. Try to login by going to http://shammahspace.ca/wp-login.php. Check your .htaccess file because if the plugin is not active yet still redirecting the normal WordPress login, then it’s probably written an entry there.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12That logout URL definitely looks like its being manipulated by a plugin. Either an active plugin that is dynamically changing it from the standard logout.php URL or a previously active plugin that maybe added a redirect to your .htaccess file. Check .htaccess file for a redirect that has “sce” in it.
Also, I’d disable *all* plugins temporarily and see if the normal logout.php URL is being used and works. Then re-active one plug in at a time testing your login / logout until it stops working again. Then you’ll know which plugin is causing the issue.
I’d like to see you continue to use the theme. I can assure you that this theme is not manipulating your logout URL. You’ll have the same problem with any theme. In fact, you may want to activate the TwentyFourteen theme for a few minutes on your site to try to login and logout and then set it back to the Flat Bootstrap theme.

In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12Ah, and that meta tag must be from the Yoast plugin or some other plugin that is trying to prove to Google Analytics that you own your site. You can validate Google Analytics by editing your DNS from Godaddy or wherever you bought your domain name from instead of using a meta tag. But for now, try turning off anything related to Google Analytics.

In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12BTW, since you are in a bind, if you want to use a child theme, you can download mine here. Its the version that’s going to be in the next release of the theme. http://github.com/xtremelysocial/flat-bootstrap-child
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12Yes, if you reinstall the theme directly from the WordPress directory, it will overwrite your changes. The next version of the theme will include a child theme in it, which is what you should use to avoid that issue. Here’s more about child themes: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
You really should set up a child theme and have your modifications in it. That way, you can upgrade the main theme without losing your changes. Also, when you have an error like you are having now you can change your theme back to the main theme to see if the error still exists. So it will help with troubleshooting.
For now, you can save off the 404.php file from the theme and delete it or rename it. That way the default 404 page from WordPress will be displayed. That might cause the error to go away.
But your real issue is that whatever plugin or code that you have for login and logout is generating a bad URL that is causing the 404 page to be displayed. Try looking at the log in and log out URL’s. They should look something like this:
Logout:
http://xtremelysocial.com/test/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=950bc72aa8Login:
http://xtremelysocial.com/test/wp-login.phpIf they don’t, that’s the issue.

In reply to: Flat-Bootstraph Theme – Parse-Syntax 404 error line 12Hi, I’m the theme author, but hadn’t seen this previously as its not posted in the support forum for the theme (http://wordpress.org/support/theme/flat-bootstrap). No worries, I’m happy to try to help. It appears that you have modified the 404.php and added this line before the header is displayed.
<meta name="p:domain_verify" content="547e9ea4e9a1acdac2ba21e8c7fa1242"/>You can’t add meta tags before the header is processed. So the response above about deleting that line is valid. In fact, if you are still getting that error you should re-download the theme and copy the original 404.php over the one you modified. That should fix the issue with the 404 page.
Now, working backwards, if you are getting the 404 page when logging out, something must be mangling your logout URL itself. Perhaps a plugin or a modification that you made? I tried to register with your site to see what’s going on, but you have registration disabled. BTW, it actually let me click on “Log in with WordPress.com” but then redirected me to a mangled URL which in turn triggers the 404 page. So something is definitely wrong with the register, login, logout features of your site.
BTW, your site looks nice. I think the theme looks good with your content.
Also, when we get your issues fixed, do you mind updating your review of the theme? Its a new theme and the first review so its set the overall rating to a 2.
