Twenty Ten : How to edit child functions.php file to mod header image size

  • Hi,
    I would like to change the header image height from the original to 300px. I know this is located in the functions.php file. I’m trying to create a child functions.php file and I followed the instructions in here and this is how my child functions.php look like :

    <?php

add_filter('twentyten_header_image_height','my_header_height');
add_filter('twentyten_header_image_width','my_header_width');
function my_header_height($size){
   return 300;
}
function my_header_width($size){
   return 940;
}
endif;

    However when this child functions.php file is in the twentyten-child folder along with the child style.css file, I get this error when I try to activate the child theme :
    The website cannot display the page
    HTTP 500
    Most likely causes:
    The website is under maintenance.
    The website has a programming error.

    When I remove the functions.php from the twentyten-child folder, all is ok. What is wrong with my child functions.php code? What am i missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do we need to include the top bits similar to the top bits in a child style.css file into a child functions.php file too like the following?

    /*
Theme Name: Twentyten-child
Theme URI:
Description: Child Theme for Twentyten theme
Author: xxx
Author URI: xxx
Template: twentyten
Version: 0.1
*/

@import url("../twentyten/style.css");

    Do we need to include the top bits similar to the top bits in a child style.css file into a child functions.php file too like the following?

    no

    the error might be caused by the lonely and unrelated
    endif;
    in functions.php of your theme.

    alchymyth – once again, you helped me ??
    Problem solved! I’m a newbie – i’m sure you can tell ??

    I am also trying to modify my functions.php in a child theme. Ultimately I want to exclude specific categories from my blog home page. I am using this code, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

    <?php
function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set('cat', '-10 -11 -12');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');
?>

    Please post a new topic.
