As this is a commercial Theme, you really need to contact the developer for support. That said: the Theme appears to be mis-using get_stylesheet_directory_uri(), when it should be using get_template_directory_uri().
Neither. Theme options should be stored as theme mods, using get_theme_mod and set_theme_mod. Internally these map on to options, but it is the official way to store theme specific options, that way when you change themes you don’t get clashes, and your settings are preserved for if you ever change back. It’s the classic adage … Read more
If you are looking to insert code into the <head></head> block, then this hook does it: add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wpse_73900_wp_head’ ); function wpse_73900_wp_head() { ?> <!– Custom Html —> <?php } If that’s not the case, then it’s more difficult. I think it would depend on the theme providing a hook at your desired point of … Read more
Depends on what changes you’re making. If you want to make functions etc, then no. For the most part, I find it works great for when I want to tweak a child theme of a framework.
You are correct, that WordPress will load the style.css file from your parent theme first, and then the style.css from your child theme. These means because of how CSS itself works, you have to specifically override any rule you wish to override. What this means is that you would need to modify the CSS within … Read more
get_template_directory looks in the parent theme for files. In the case a child theme is being used, the absolute path to the parent theme directory will be returned. Use get_stylesheet_directory() to get the absolute path to the child theme directory. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_directory This file is not meant to be replaced. You will need to find another … Read more
Here is what worked: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘parent_override’ ); function parent_override() { unregister_sidebar(‘sidebar-4’); /** I have looked for the ID of the sidebar by looking at * the source code in the admin.. and saw the widget’s id=”sidebar-4″ */ register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Footer’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”span3″>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’ => ‘<h6 class=”footer-widgets-item”>’, ‘after_title’ => … Read more
What is the exact difference A parent theme is a stand alone theme which have no dependencies on other themes. A parent theme is fully functional on its own without the need for any other features from any other theme A child theme cannot function on its own without the parent theme. The child theme … Read more
When it comes to the template hierarchy, WordPress will indeed look in the child theme directory before loading from the main theme. For all other non-specific WordPress files (like functions and 3rd party includes), it’s entirely up to the main theme to decide how to load them. Unless the theme is using locate_template to load … Read more
You can use wp_deregister_style in your child theme. Like this. function remove_unwanted_css() { wp_dequeue_style( ‘bootstrap’ ); wp_deregister_style( ‘bootstrap’ ); wp_dequeue_style( ‘bootstrap-custom’ ); wp_deregister_style( ‘bootstrap-custom’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘remove_unwanted_css’, 20 ); Similarly you can deregister other unwanted css too. Just add wp_deregister_style in this function.
