Hey Evan thanks for the great tutorial. I think I can do this!

Do you have the:

Migrate to Production Site
Coming Soon…

to show me how to migrate this to my live hostgator?

Thanks, I have been on the XAMPP site and the duplicator site and watched their videos and I am afraid that this is way over my head. I will have to look for another way to do this. Thanks for the info.

Hey! I guess it was because of the image size. I replaced it with a large image and now it’s working. This is solved

Is this happening because my image size is too small?

I need some more clarification about the functions.php file in my child. I was told to use the following code:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}

Whenever I add anything below this I get an error. For example I am trying to add a slider and it tells me to add this code to my functions file:

`<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[carousel-horizontal-posts-content-slider]’); ?>

When I do I get an error. I know very little about php but isn’t the functions file supposed to have a closing tag like ?>

Hi Andrew, I fixed the code and got it working, it was the second to last curly bracket that needed to be removed.

I got it working (not erroring out) but it was funky. The purpose of it was to turn my posts into excerpts and it created a “read more” button but when clicking on it it would just reload the excerpt. Plus it would end the excerpt in the middle of a word.

So I deleted the code. I am surprised that 2014 theme does not come already with the option to do excerpts. I will keep looking for a solution. I know I can get a plugin that kinda does what I want but I would rather code it. Let me know if you have any recommendations and thanks for you help, you taught me some things.

Yes I ran the code through http://phpcodechecker.com/ and saw the extra bracket and removed it before trying it again.

Where would my site error logs be? at my host?

Hi Andrew and thanks here is what I was trying to do to make excerpts instead of full posts, I got this online here

Here is the code I was trying to use:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpsites_limit_content_conditionally' );
function wpsites_limit_content_conditionally( $content ) {
return substr($content, 0, 100) . '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More Link</a>';
}
return $content;
}
