When not perched on my workspace, I tremendously enjoy hiking in the bushes and climbing mountains. They serve as much-needed refuges from the pretense of cities.

Quote:So what you are saying is that I should customize the footer.php and the header.php in the parent folder; and never load these files into the child folder.No, you should not modify the files in the theme’s folders at all. However, copying the
footer.phpandheader.phpinto the child theme and modifying them in the child theme is only marginally better. This is explained in the theme’s documentation that I linked to in previous post:Quote:If you place any of the WordPress template files into the child theme, the corresponding files from the parent theme will not be loaded. This means that when you update the parent theme, and that those template files have changed in the updated parent theme, you will miss out on those changes, since WordPress will not load those files at all. This is why you should never replace the theme’s template files in your child theme, unless absolutely necessary.The best way is to use action hooks, or if that is not familiar to you, try the Action Hook Widget Areas.
The theme has nothing to do with the remote publishing feature. Try asking in WordPress.org support forum instead.
If you see the theme’s documentation page regarding child theme, you’ll see that there’s a note regarding replacing theme’s files in the child theme (look under the “Special consideration” heading).
You’ll have to delete the current header.php and footer.php files in your child theme, and redo the customisation again. Best to use the action hooks so that you’ll avoid these issues the next time there’s an update for the theme.
What files do you have in your child theme?
Try activating your child theme again so that we can take a look.
Quote:Does it appear with the modified Header (I am using Metero Slides!)Yes it does.
Quote:The othe funny thing is that it shows me different results in different broswers: Firefox, Chrom and IE….I am really not sure what the issue is here….
It’s most likely a caching issue. Some browsers are more persistent with their cache than others (esp. Chrome). Also, disable the Quick Cache plugin until everything appears to be correct.
Your site appears fine to me. Try clearing your browser cache (CTRL+F5).
URL to the site please.
It seems that you have changed the name of the theme’s folder to
graphene1. Change it back tographeneand you should be able to do the auto-update via WP Admin > Dashboard > Update.Please also note that if you have made any modifications to the theme’s files previously, all those modifications will be lost when you update the theme. For future reference, always avoid editing any of the theme’s files and use a child theme instead to make customisations to the theme.
Disable the BWP Minify plugin.
