In reply to: Using Googlefonts in Childtheme-The right way?I see,slug!I’ve learnt something new today!
Yes I believe the code is correct hence I cannot work out why this error is occuring.It’s pretty weird.
Not sure how to tackle this.

In reply to: Using Googlefonts in Childtheme-The right way?thanks for getting back to me.
Yes when I remove the function the problem isn’t there anymore,it’s only when that function is implemented.
You’ll have to forgive me as I’m pretty new to PHP.What is a slug?
I don’t think that the googlefonts name for the function would be repeated anywhere else in the install as it’s just the standard twentyeleven theme but using my custom child theme.
As I say,I guess the crux of my question is whether this is really the best way to go about implementing google fonts into wordpress?

In reply to: Using Googlefonts in Childtheme-The right way?Hi,
Yer,I just noticed that,ooooops!
Yes that was just where I was trying to make it bold on the forum.
I’d rather not post the link if thats ok because it’s a site under development and don’t really want any chance of it getting exposure just yet.
Excellent!
Will give Firebug a shot,looks great.
Thanks and thanks again!
Tried that,almost works but still a little gap.
Check the link out and see.Kind of looks cool though having a slightly seperated nav bar…might even keep it like that,but il have a findle and see if I can actually control the amount.I’ve gotta try removing the bit of padding at the top above the header aswell,I did it before but got to hunt it down again!
Do you have any idea of how I can make the height of the header a little smaller aswell by any chance?
Thanks again for your help by the way,actually feels like something has been achieved today and some incredibly infuriating has been conquered!hurrah!
Baddabing!!!Tried that and now it works.Thankyou sooooooooooo much esmi!Much appreciated.I should have thought of that though!
Only thing is now the black between the nav bar and the main page has also gone transparent.Which im presuming means that the nav was floating over the header background which is a bit strange.
check it out at:
Ok I’ve tried that and same thing happens,only the main page content changes to white.The header background doesn’t go transparent.
Are you doing with a transparent .PNG as the header image?
It’s working for you?really?thats wierd.
#primary adjusts the color of the main page but
#page does not make anything transparent when set to do so.
Where are you putting the code?This is where I put it:
‘/* =Global
———————————————– */body, input, textarea {
color: #373737;
font: 15px “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 1.625;
}
body {
background: #e2e2e2;
}
#page {
background:transparent;
}/* Headings */
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
clear: both;
}
hr {
background-color: #ccc;
border: 0;
height: 1px;
margin-bottom: 1.625em;’Unfortunately this doesn’t work,I tried something similar before but it only changes the colour for the main page….arggghhh!!
magnifying glass issue fixed…..can anyone please help with the header transparency problem?
I’ve also noticed that when using a child theme that the little magnifying glass image is missing from the search form.Im presuming that this is because it is referencing an image from the parent stylesheet?
Would removing the header “branding” out of the “page” div and puting it in it’s own div work maybe?Any ideas?
I have now made my child theme and wordpress is seeing it correctly.I falsely assumed that it need the full path for the parent theme…which I’ve now ofund out it didn’t!
Now to try and sort out this transparency issue…
Ooops.My bad,style sheet was called twentyelevenchild.css rather than style.css Doh!
This is the site by the way if you want to see what I mean:
I’m currently trying to create a child theme and have followed the guide to do so.I have created a child them stylesheet with instructions in it to import the parent stylesheet.However when I got to the themes in wordpress it says that the .css style sheet for twentyelevenchild is missing.
I’m actually a little baffled as to why it’s so comlicated to add something as simple as a transparent header image as the whole reason I’ve switched over to WordPress was that everyone told me how simple it was to use and modify!
