    The only way to retain the customisation when updating the theme is if you did the customisation all by using a child theme, and did not change the theme’s codes at all.

    The theme’s function definitions are all written in such a way that they can easily be overwritten or modified using a child theme instead of modifying the theme’s functions.php file directly. You may want to look at implementing the changes in the theme’s functions.php by using a child theme’s functions.php file instead.

    Yes, i thought that would be possible, just wasnt sure if it was just as easy as placing another functions.php into child theme. Just done that about to upload the new beta again!

    Thanks

    Ok, looks like i needed to re-upload the original header.php file also … am i able to possibly make a child header.php file? or not really?

    Reason being i have my addthis buttons at the top… they also seam to have stopped working even though they are </img> … any help would be appreciated! http://www.ehealthfitness.com.au

    They are inside the the rss div which is where they were before … however before they didnt work in the category sections … now it looks like they only work inside article pages (ie. http://www.ehealthfitness.com.au/exercise-fitness/how-muscles-work/)

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Also i have replcaed the ‘Default’ slider image if no image is available, however each update will overwrite it with the theme’s default.

    I know i can set a custom image for the slider but that will overwrite EVERY slider post and i only want it to show the custom image if no image on the post is available, how do i do that?

    Thanks!

    Re: Addthis – looks like after i enable ‘Show in page aswell’ it starts to work … perhaps its because i didn’t have the <script> data in the header following the <a’s … but it still doesn’t work in category sections… suppose thats because they are NOT posts or pages … let see if adding that script line will help 🙂 YEP looks like adding the <script></script> works … BUT should i have it there if its already in the addthis options?

    The ‘link header image to front page’ option is ticked but not working … my header text is dissabled…

    The Addthis button is supposed to only be showed in single post/page view only. This is because whenever a user share something using the AddThis button, the URL that is being shared is the URL of the page being viewed, and not the particular post or page that is being shared. So if the AddThis button is displayed in category listing page, the URL that will be shared is the category listing page, and not any particular post or pages. This is why I’ve decided to keep the AddThis button only on single post and page view only.

    I’m investigating the link header image to front page feature now..
