I don’t know what a header widget is…?

I don’t want it on all pages…I just want it on the home page. All the other pages have it by virtue of my having selected show on pages, but, it doesn’t show up on the home page. There must be some way to get it just on the home page where I want it? Like in the index page file or theme file or functions file?

Ok thanks. I use Dreamweaver so built one there but it displays totally differently without the headers and such I guess. I guess I can just make a “basicpage5” in WP, and use that as a basic then just change the content.

Thanks, Ken.

Hey do you know about the other thing I just posted, about how to get my share this code into the secondary menu bar? Sorry, wrong thread I know…thought you might know easily how to go plug it in where I want it on the index page only.

Thanks!

I’m just using the Graphene slider…I made a category and assigned those to the home slider category. I haven’t played with it in awhile though so I can’t remember now if I modified it. I know in one of my themed sites, the other being lauravanhoff.com, I installed a plug in for excerpts and this relates to the slider. But I think in Graphene I’m just using the basic slider functions that came with it, controlled in the Graphene Options panel.

I’ll be working with those home page sliders over the next few days so once I get my brain back in that gear I’ll let you know if it’s different than that.

Thank YOU! That was driving me NUTSO those stupid spaces!

I keep wishing for a comprehensive overview kind of tutorial…it’s like finding your way through the dark to figure out what’s what.

Here are the posts I found where it was discussed for my issues:

No kidding…I already totally forgot what we used it for. I’m telling ya…make your child theme happen now while it’s fresh 🙂

Let me just say this…

I walked away from it for a few weeks…then the update came out…and I had NO idea what I’d done. So…I highly recommend just getting it over with now, you will be happy you did while it’s fresh.

Just take anything you changed in the base files and put them in a new file, same name, in the graphene-child folder. I swear you will be happy you did…it’s just too hard to remember what you did later.

I don’t remember what I did with hooks but if you search raindance + hooks you’ll find it easily in my posts/answers. See what I mean? I already forgot.

Yup…just pasted it into the graphene-child/styles.css file. So in other words…we said…ignore what the original code said and use our tweak instead.

It lives at the same level as the graphene folder in the themes folder.

So…try this…in your themes folder, add a new folder:

graphene-child

and make a new styles.css file

Then in the WP dashboard, go to Appearances > Editor

And look in the top right for the drop down menu…and you’ll see that you now have the option to edit either main graphene theme files OR the new one in the child folder.

The other thing I learned about thanks to this forum are hooks, which go in the functions file, and make modifications fabulously efficient. Updates don’t knock them out. Footer, functions and styles are the only three files I have in my child folder and show up in that wp dashboard drop down and which I modify.

Thanks!

So from what I’ve found about child themes is they are awesome because they are really easy and all you’re doing is making a new style sheet, for example, with just the elements you want to override from the base code. Make sense? So for example I have a new folder called graphene-child, and in it is just functions.php and styles.css so I can just put in there what I want to be different from the main theme stuff. Make sense? It’s just a

“here are the things I want to be different, leave the rest alone please” kind of theory.
