Body Content All Screwed Up

Just tried it with one and two dots. Not working. Apparently If I want to include php files I have to add this line of code:

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory(). ‘/my_included_file.php’ );

This goes in the function.php file in the child theme.

I have tried this and still nothing. Mmmm… Scratching head..

you shouldn’t need to do anything like that, you should be able to just have them in the folder.

the theme folder should have:

style.css
index.php
header.php
footer.php

you don’t need to add in a functions.php unless you need to create functions or overide the ones in twentyten. no need to add in code to call in the header and footer files, just copy them and paste them into the child theme folder.

There must be something in my header or footer files that is cancelling out the css.

All I have in my child theme folder is those 4 files.

well, you’re css file should be right now, try downloading the twentyten theme from the theme repository and then uploading the header.php and footer.php files from there, there may be an error in the ones that you’re using.

No probs and thanks for the support. Obviously the modifications I have made to the header and footer.php has messed things up a bit. Will use the original files and start from scratch and see when the error appears.

when in doubt start over. see how the site behaves when you put the new files in. what mods are you trying to make to the head foot files?

The header and footer works perfectly, however with these header and footer files added it cancels the css. Very strange lol. I must be doing something wrong in the php files.

would you be ok with me having a nose about on your sites admin?

I will set you up as an admin if you want? I just need an email?

coolbeans.

That’s you added, password sent by email. ??

I couldn’t hold out, falling asleep lol. Will get a look at it tomorrow. I removed you as admin as i’m off to bed. I will just start from scratch tomorrow, trial and error. ??

Cheers for the help.

no worries ??

Started from scratch with a new copy of the twentyten theme. CSS is intact and all my old problems are gone. Except now I have another problem. My footer background image does not stretch the full width of the screen.

I have used this line of code in the footer file to call the footer image:

<div style=”height:inherit;width:100%;min-width:960px;margin:0;position:absolute;background:transparent url(‘https://www.wowguide101.com/wpimages/wpd7e97333_06.jpg&#8217;) repeat-x scroll bottom center; height:251px;”></div>

The image appears but cuts off at the left. I have seen this before but I cannot remember how I fixed it.

Ah! Found 2 unclosed div elements. All fixed! Thanks for your help guys.
