There are inserted some “wrong” links in right side of footer. Dust them off 🙂

But what happens if you insert this code in Custom CSS or Child Theme – style.css:

#sidebar_bottom {

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EEEEEE;

border-top: 15px solid #CFCFCF;

clear: both;

margin-left: 263px;

width: 900px;

}



#footer {

background: url("images/sprite_h.png") repeat-x scroll left -100px #000000;

height: 66px;

margin-left: 263px;

width: 900px;

}

If You have #sidebar_bottom or #footer in Custom CSS or Child Theme: style.css already check numbers 🙂

Hello,

Me like many others are updating the colors in the main menu. Already having the child theme working, it should be a snap to configure it with new menu colors. But its been hard to find the ones that need updating in the style sheet.

Two quick questions,

I started a new theme and I’m trying not to save over the original theme files.

I have made a new folder in my graphene-child folder called ‘images’, and placed the new ‘sprite_h.png’ there.

Problem is that it still loads the images from the old folder, and not the new folder with the same name…

Second question, is there a copy of the style names used to update the menu colors? With so many styles in the original style sheet, it would be great if there was a list somewhere that only had the ones need to update. Then we could just copy/paste a small list of styles into the new css file to be updated.

The main CSS menu styles I’m looking for are: currently selected page tab, main menu active color, dropdown color and border, and dropdown active color.

Thanks for all the help,

Use the Firebug plugin for Firefox to quickly and easily find which CSS codes you need to copy and modify.

Thanks, I have heard about the firebug plugin on previous posts, but was wondering if there was a simplified CSS for the main menu that might have already been posted.

Any idea why the child theme would not load an image its own image folder, but instead load one from the default theme image folder? (site background image loads from child theme, but menu background loads from original theme)

Cheers,

Images in child theme do not work the same way as WordPress-specific template files. You can’t simply add an image by the same name into the child theme and have the theme use that image instead. You would need to add CSS codes in the child theme’s style.css file to override the CSS from the Graphene theme.

Hi, I am having trouble creating the child theme for graphene. First of all, how do you access wp-content/themes/ to initially create the graphene-child folder? Where is this located? Thanks for the help.

Hey Kim,

I edited the numbers in the css for the footer and now it shows up correctly in my browser (no idea if it’s fixed for anyone else)

For the weird links, though, I haven’t been able to find the code that’s producing the html. I found some references to the “w3c” script which I deleted, but that only took away the formatting of this section and not the actual links. The image in the bottom left is still screwed up as well.

I tried deactivating all of my plugins but that didn’t change anything, so I restored them again.
