Problem installing a Customizr Child Theme

  • I am trying to install a Child theme so that I can make changes in Customizr. I used the instructions at this link: https://managewp.com/how-to-create-a-child-theme

    The code in my child theme is:

    /*
Theme Name: Customizr Child Theme
Theme URI: http: //themaverickedge.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: My Name
Author URI: http: //themaverickedge.com/
Template: Customizr
Version: 0.1
*/

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

    But when I go to: Appearance => Themes to install the Child theme, I see an error at the bottom saying:

    The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Customizr” parent theme.

    Don’t know what to do.

    Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Sorry about the delay. The page I hope is based on the child theme is: https://www.smadarandhadas.com/home-2/

    I don’t know how to determine the actual activated theme.

    Looks perfect :)!

    Gee, you are quick!!

    Thanks

    While I have your ear (eye?), how do I change the font/size/colour of the text underneath the slider?

    If you only want to change it on that page, try adding this:

    article#page-29 p {
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family: XXXXXX;
}

    Adjust the size and add the font you want.

    You have the color set in inline CSS – so you’d need to change that wherever you set it – probably in the visual editor?

    There might be a better way of doing this – I’m really not at all familiar with this theme, so if it’s not working, best to start a new thread so one of the more knowledgeable helpers can give you advice!

    Thank you for your help WPyogi.

    I am actually trying to change the text so that it is different for each button. The Customiz’it! > Front Page – Featured Pages Options – Button Text only allows you to change the button once and the same text changes for all 3 buttons.

    Hmm. Just dived into the code and it would need a lot of work to change it. The heading/picture/button combinations are loaded by calling the same function 3 times. You would need to split them out one-by-one with different values in each. Not simple.

    In order to do a work-around for the above, can I code new buttons in the Stylesheet (child theme) and take out the function that calls the existing buttons?

    If so, can you help me with the correct coding to do this?

    The same button is called 3 times in the code. You would need to change the code significantly to do what you want.

    How about you explain what you’re trying to achieve, so we can think up a better way of achieving what you want without having to hire a php expert to code it for you?

    For example, you have 3 headings and 3 images that could say the 3 separate things you want to say on your buttons.

    Hi @electric Feet

    Yes – I would like the 1st button to say:

    Home (instead of Read More)

    2nd button to say:

    Services (instead of Read More)

    3rd button to say:

    About Sandy (instead of Read More)

    Then link accordingly to the respective pages.

    FYI: And I also wanted the headings customized for which I started another thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/change-text-in-home-featured-page-options?replies=1

    I would like each heading to say:

    Heading 1: You have always been a Maverick

    Heading 2: Why Mavericks have an Edge

    Heading 3: How I help you go Maverick

    Thanks!

    Yes – I would like the 1st button to say:

    Home (instead of Read More)

    2nd button to say:

    Services (instead of Read More)

    3rd button to say:

    About Sandy (instead of Read More)

    Then link accordingly to the respective pages.

    Yes, you’ve said that several times. And I’ve explained that you can’t unless you want to do significant php coding.

    FYI: And I also wanted the headings customized for which I started another thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/change-text-in-home-featured-page-options?replies=1

    I’ll answer that on the other thread.
