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.

That’s great. You can see the colour scheme here: http://i.imgur.com/JSn0I.png
So go ahead and give it a name! 🙂
Other than that, what other files you have in your child theme apart from
style.css?By the way, I like the colour scheme of your site. Can I work it into a colour preset for the theme? You’ll get to name it 🙂
Well, I would recommend you to start afresh with a new child theme. This will probably be easier than trying to fix it, especially if you (sort of) remember what customisations you did.
You can get the theme’s original files from here:
The messy result you’re seeing is the result of a fairly common (and unfortunate) mistake in child theme implementation. I see that you’ve copied the whole content of the theme’s
style.cssfile into your child theme’sstyle.cssfile. This is not how it should be done, and will cause a whole lot of issues, including the ones you’re seeing now.You should only add CSS codes that you need to modify the things you want to modify into the child theme’s
style.cssfile. See here for more info regarding customisation via a child theme:http://wiki.khairul-syahir.com/graphene-theme/wiki/Customisation_using_a_child_theme
Try this:
.page-id-759 #sidebar_bottom {
display: none;
}The bottom widget area is outside of the post content
div, hence the above codes you try don’t work. Thepage-id-759is assigned to the<body>element, so it should work.Quote:I though you were allowed to remove the credits from every wordpress theme without having to pay?This depends on the licence of the theme. All themes hosted on the WordPress.org theme repository are licensed under GPL or GPL-compatible licences. Those licences essentially allow you to do anything to the theme’s source codes, including removing the credit link.
However, commercial themes that you have to pay for are not necessarily released under GPL or GPL-compatible licences. Therefore, your rights with regard to the theme’s source codes and bundled resources may vary.
Having said that, there has been discussions previously, especially by WordPress core developers and even Matt himself, that all WordPress themes and plugins are bound to be licensed under GPL or GPL-compatible licence. The reason for this is because WordPress itself is licensed under GPL, and one of the clauses of GPL is that all derivative works of a GPL-licensed software must be licensed under GPL as well. Since themes and plugins are essentially derivatives of WordPress itself, therefore they must be licensed under GPL.
But, it’s not uncommon to find many commercial themes and plugins not licensed under GPL. Whether they have the right to do so or not depends on the lawyers they can hire versus the lawyers you can hire. Not ideal, of course, but that’s the way our legal system works.
But, if the commercial themes and plugins are explicitly licensed under GPL, you can do whatever you want to the source codes, regardless of what notice the developers / sellers put on their website.

April 29, 2012 at 10:15 pm #28128I am actually reluctant to do this, since most people wouldn’t be using it anyways, and it’ll just add more clutter to the already cluttered options pages. The thing with font is, once you add an option for one, people will want it for everything else.
Since it’s easy enough to implement using Custom CSS or child theme, so it’s probably better to leave it out of the options.
