Hi,

I need to insert some custom code to footer.php and the plugin provider told me that is better to create a Child-theme so i don’t loose my changes if i update my main theme (ultimate-pro)

so i created the ultimate-pro-child and putted there an empty style.css , then according to this link

http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I created the style.css and functions.php

i putted the
—-
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘../ultimate-pro/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘../ultimate-pro-child/style.css’,
array(‘parent-style’)
);
}
—–

into the functions.php and activated the child theme, however for some reasons i do not understand it is showing the theme but the rendering is not RIGHT (is showing ALL pages in the TOP-MENU)

Can you please help me to create a child-theme properly so i don’t destroy my Ultimate-Pro theme?

or, is it possible to tell me where can i put some custom code for the footer.php ?

regards,

Aris

in regard to the above post,

after following the instructions from http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

YOU SHOULD make the settings of “Widgets” and “Menu” again, in order to show properly in the site.

Everything is OK now :), thanks

Hello

I have tried to setup a child theme following the link:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

My style.css has the following in it:

/*
Theme Name: ultimate-pro-child
Theme URI: http://catawaterwm.com/ultimate-pro-child
Description: Ultimate Pro Child Theme
Author: James Buckmaster
Author URI: http://catawaterwm.com
Template: ultimate-pro
Text Domain: ultimate—pro-child
*/

My function.php has:

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/ultimate-pro/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/ultimate-pro-child/style.css’,
array(‘parent-style’)
);
}

when I go to look at me themes I get this:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description ultimate-pro-child Stylesheet is missing.

I’d like to make some modification on the CSS sheets and need to get this child set up just
not sure what I have done wrong.

/* write custom css */

that /*write custom css*/

actually is on the bottom of my style.css sheet

Hi James,

If you really want to make changes only in css then you may add your CSS via Custom CSS. Goto dashboard -> appearance-> theme options -> design options -> Custom css and add your custom css.

If you like to make a child theme then you need to add the following css in your functions.php
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

hope this may help you
or you may add in your child theme of style.css

/*
Theme Name: Ultimate Child Theme
Author: Self-Help WordPress User
Template: Ultimate Pro child
*/

@import url("../ultimate-pro/style.css");
.wrapper {
width: 95%;
background-color: #fff;
}

Thank you!
