Having trouble adding child theme

  • Hi,

    I am trying to add a child theme to https://thecmbok.com so I can control the child page drop-down menus that are currently messing with the main-nav so I pushed them back to draft.

    I read the instructions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes under managing themes, I assume the next step is add a theme (the theme I am using for the site is: Centita 1.3 by Indonez: Minimalist Business WordPress Theme) and then save it as a child theme. The theme doesn’t come up when I search it.

    Does anyone have an EASY step-by-step to adding a child theme so I can fix the navigation?

    Thanks,
    Michelle

  • The page you linked to above is about as easy as it gets.

    Site works fine in FireFox, a child theme will not fix the menu, IE does not like odd HTML tags and you have a extra closing tag </li> and other errors:

    <ul>
<li class="selected"><a href="https://thecmbok.com">Home</a><span class="descmenu">Welcome to theCMBOK.com</span></li>
<li ><a href="https://thecmbok.com/?page_id=12">Introducing the CMBOK</a><span class="descmenu"></span></li>
<li ><a href="https://thecmbok.com/?page_id=4">CMBOK Benefits</a><span class="descmenu"></span></li>

    thanks David.

    I am a novice at using wordpress, I am use to building sites in dreamweaver.

    Can you quickly explain how I can actually edit the home page/ navigation html to fix the above? I can’t seem to figure out how to navigate to fix the html navigation

    I have only been able to edit the css errors.
