If I set one of the default images to be the header image then remove it as suggested in another post, it still doesn’t remove the radio button with the image name but no image. And if it’s not in the media library…I have no idea where else to delete it so my header image tab is only showing what I’ve uploaded.
I deleted them all from the theme > images > header folder, but now I have all the empty radio buttons in the header panel of the dashboard in the random section. I though that in the parent theme when I wrestled with this I finally got rid of them by simply deleting them in the media library. But this time (with the child theme) they aren’t appearing in the media library.
So…how can I permanently and completely get rid of all of the default images/image paths/radio buttons next to the name of the default image but now no image there since I deleted them on the server?
I see from other posts that I do…darn it.
Thank you for the help 🙂
Well what I do do know and which you can tell from my billions of forum questions is…that if you are relatively new to wordpress and to the concept of themes…it’s realllly time consuming and frustrating to figure out where to start, which kind of theme to use, which options matter and which don’t for what you’re trying to do. Like, I ended up using and Elegant Theme “Envisioned” for my portfolio site, http://www.lauravanhoff.com OMG it took me two weeks to sort that out, and I’m a web designer by profession. But I hadn’t had much WP experience. So it seems to me that some “how to know what you need” and “if you use x theme start here and do these 20 steps” with FAQs for the common stuff you see asked.
I’ll post that on your blog as well.I just feel like you step into the middle of the lake with no idea which way to swim first and no idea if the shore you’re aiming for will even be what you want when you get there.
Ohhhhhh I wish I’d had that three weeks ago!
Not that I won’t still have 50000 annoying questions as I go along I’m sure 🙂
Thanks! That will reallllly help people I’m sure, it looks perfect!
In reply to: Child theme installed but top navigation menu goofed up
August 25, 2011 at 8:13 pm #16557All good now, turns out in the menu settings I had to reset the assignment of which menu goes in which spot, in that top left menu section…to apply header menu to header, second menu to second line.
In reply to: How to know page ID to show specific pages in home page slider?
August 25, 2011 at 8:02 pm #16514Ok so child theme is installed.
Installed Map Pages to Categories plug in.
Added
<?php
function graphene_slider_post_types(){
return array(‘post’, ‘page’);
}
add_filter( ‘graphene_slider_post_type’, ‘graphene_slider_post_types’ );
?>
To the child theme functions page.
In the dashboard > Settings > Map Pages to Categories I checked that first box
Show the Pages on Category pages
But not checked the second one about posts.
Now I can assign pages to my “home page slider” category and they show up there.
THANK YOU! Perfect!
Activated back and forth…there are now two regular graphene themes in my choose a theme section of the dashboard, and now the normal parent one looks ok again.
So then the remaining question is…do I have to redo all the customizations…header image uploads, menu settings etc?
Yikes…
Now I reactivated the regular Graphene theme and it’s gone totally wonky!
I didn’t make any changes to anything, just reactivated it.
?
And the background looks different also.
I’ve read the worpress codex link you sent me and the link to the discussion in the forum.
I’m pretty sure I did as directed (above) but clearly I am missing something 🙂
Or is it just the case that you have to start over for menu customization, settings, import media library etc? Gosh I hope not.
