    Hello,
    There is a good course on creating child themes on Lynda.com, and quite a few tips/ tricks at designisphilosophy.com. For a full framework built specifically with the creation of child themes, have a look at genesis (studiopress.com).
    Hope this helps.

    Yes, it’s a local installation. I haven’t changed the folder structure; the root file is set up right, otherwise wp wouldn’t run at all. Also, it must be linking to the database correctly to see all the page/post content in the backend. It’s just the page links that are shot.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. The site address has changed, but I did a find/replace on the database to take care of that. Permalinks are the same structure. Here’s the error message:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /about-us/ was not found on this server.

    I get this, despite the permalink to the page being as follows:
    http://localhost:8888/about-us/
    Same error if click view this page right next to that link.

    Thanks for the reply; since this is not a page listed in the dashboard, but a php file called by the theme, I found the easiest way round it was to link to the stylesheet from the file itself, rather than from the header.

    Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I am developing the site locally, so can’t post a link. I think i have found the problem: I can’t help myself spelling colour correctly. Thanks for all your help.

    Thanks for the reply; I tried this, but no dice. What i don;t get is that if i alter the text size for the h4 tag in the stylesheet, it changes, but i can’t get the color to change.

    Thanks Jeezyo, this also works; the problem now is that all the custom fields will need updating when the website is uploaded and running off a web server. Is there a way of combining these two solutions, so that the relative address is pulled from the custom field and added to the
    <?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>

    I guess this amounts to adding one php string to another; I’ve had a go, but the page always goes blank; I think i’m not sufficiently versed in php syntax.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks so much, that worked like a charm. How could I now adapt this so that the image path is pulled from a custom field on each individual page; can the php part be included in the custom field?
