Hi,

I have enabled the sidebar widget area for the front page only. I have my theme layout set up as 1 column. Is this not possible? I wanted to have the site pages 1 col layout and the front page 2 col layout. Thanks for your help

Make Your layout 2 column and when You edit pages make the page layout 1 column in page template, there is a menu for this in the right side 🙂

Right now Your frontpage is 1 column?

Great 🙂

Regarding Child Theme:

As with all WordPress Themes, it is very important to make a Child Theme.

And why it is so, You are free to read these links:

I don’t really get how to do this I’m afraid, I’ll just have to reapply when I update. I tried using firebug but couldn’t figure out how to save my changes.

Put Styling CSS Code You like in Child Theme: style.css

Here goes. Make a catalog with ftp software:

/wp-content/themes/graphene-child

Make a file named style.css with this content:

(On PC use notepad or any CSS editor & copy the file to graphene-child catalog)

/*

Theme Name: Graphene Child

Theme URI: http://realmofthesenses.com/

Description: Child theme for the Graphene theme

Author: Your name

Author URI: http://realmofthesenses.com/

Template: graphene

Version: 0.1.2.1

*/

@import url("/wp-content/themes/graphene/style.css");

/* Your modification goes from here */

Then You have a Graphene Child Theme here 🙂

This should be rule no. 1 in every WordPresser scout manual.

But its always your choice, just like backup 🙂
