Search Results for 'child theme'

Welcome 🙂

Now that you have a child theme going you can edit the ad boxes too, in some file or other, but I haven’t looked at that myself, and @Lucian could probably cut down the time looking for where to add the conditions.

In Newspaper/includes/modules/module_modifier/ you have td_module_blog.php. This is one of the files you can overwrite (at least I find) in a child theme, which you can set up here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/

Once you have the child theme set up and activated, copy and paste that file into the corresponding folder in your child theme. Then edit the file.

The function get_author_box is the one you want to change.

Specifically, change these lines:

$buffy .= '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
$buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
$buffy .= '</a>';

to this one line:

$buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');

and change this line:

$buffy .= '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id) . '</a>' ;

to this:

$buffy .= get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id);

Save the file and upload via FTP. Clear cache and check the bottom of a post.

Hope this helps!

One way to do it is to add this custom css (in your theme panel or in a child theme):

.widget {
  padding-bottom: 20px;
}

Doesn’t look like an option. But in the theme’s style.css file I find this:

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: 'Verdana', sans-serif;
  font-size: 14px;
  line-height: 21px;
  color: #333;
  background-color: #fff;
}

Copy and paste that into your custom css section of the theme panel, or into your style.css if you’re using a child theme, and then change the font to heart’s content.

There are a few plugins that do this kind of thing, e.g. https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-to-content/

You can also use a child theme and edit your functions if you’re comfortable with that sort of thing. Googling this yields a fair number of support posts, e.g. this simple one: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-custom-text-to-bottom-of-all-posts-in-particular-category (Admittedly outdated but still looks applicable.) Or edit your single post templates directly.

Hi Lucian and thanks for your answer!
I was already trying to do something in there, but “Top right (social)” widget area was already empty!

So I solved putting some random widget in that “Top right (social)” and then deleting it right after.

But now I’m wondering: how come this behavior came out only when I activated the child theme? With the main theme everything was just fine… =)

Until an option is added to the theme panel, you can style it yourself via custom CSS. Either do this through a child theme (https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/) or through the custom css part of the panel.

Using “inspect element” on a widget reveals the classes involved. For the titles it looks like it’s .block-title. The class of a widget’s text often varies from widget to widget, and I’m guessing from stack to stack. In blog-stack, for example, a text widget’s content is class .blog-stack .textwidget.

A brand new version (4.2) was just released…
I just updated, both the theme and the child theme, but it happens anyways =(

Thank you, now i got how it works! It took some time for it:)

Yup, that’s how child themes work. They inherit from the parent theme except for what you’ve added in the child theme files. Updates to the parent theme are still reflected and everything, but your child theme modifications will still survive updates. 🙂

Ohh, i guess i got it, i shouldn’t switch to the main theme back, right? I just always use the child theme and make all the changes in it?

Sorry, it’s still not clear for me…what should i do if i need to add some code like counters, additional social buttons, text-indent tag and other stuff to files like footer, loop-single, css of my main theme and i don’t want to add them again after every update of the theme?
I thought if i add all this code to my child theme files all the changes start to work for main theme too and they don’t disappear after updates.
What will be if i add the changes to child theme and main theme after the main theme will be updated?

Could you tell me what might be a problem, i added file footer.php to Child theme and added a counter code there. When i load my site using this Child theme – i see this counter code, but when i switch to parent theme – there is no code on my site..

hi,

hi,

I see that the images are 745 x 483 px

not sure if is working in child theme, did not tested.

the code for the sliders are in : http://screencast.com/t/isHYRu9bN .
but what will happen if we update the theme and your file are not compatible with the new version anymore?

however you can increase the size of the images using css. this css is store in the database and does not care about theme version.

Thanks for you message.
