Theme Child

Create child theme with this plug in Orbisius Child Theme

Hi Imon,

I’m loving the Hathor theme so thanks for your hard work on that. However, I seem to have endless problems creating a child theme. I created the .css file with the appropriate folder and parent theme. The child theme will activate but nothing is there. As a last resort I took your recommendation and used the Orbisius Child Theme plugin. It created everything properly, but again… my webpage is blank. Is this a bug? I’m sure I’ve done everything right to create the child themes.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Imom,

Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to use the Simple Custom CSS plugin instead. It works for me to alter the CSS, hopefully it wont be overwrite by a new patch of update. Another note, how to you change the font weight of the site title? TQ

Amandasana,
You might want to try the plugin as well. Cheers!

Thanks TQ! I ended up just copying the CSS to a text file and saving it (but I’d be curious to know if others are having trouble with the child theme or if it’s just me). All I really wanted was to make sure my changes to the theme don’t get overwritten with any wordpress updates. For the title font size, you can change the font-size in the style.css. I use header2 and changed it to 55px:

#site-title2 a {
color: #000;
font-size: 55px;
line-height: 36px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}
#site-title a {
color: #000;
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 36px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}

Child theme not work and the child theme stay on my background after delete Orbisius Child Theme plugin.

An idea to delete it ? It not appear in my ftp theme.

Simple Custom CSS work, thank Amandasana

Imon,

Theme has a bug due to which people (including me) are unable to create child theme. I also tried Orbisius Child Theme, but nothing happened.

I’m too using Simple Custom CSS plugin to implement my custom CSS changes to theme in the hope that they would not be overwritten by any updates.

Thanks to frank181 for reference.

Cheers!

after create a child theme with Orbisius Child Theme go to theme option and click save option

thanks

Hi,

I did. Even I tried manually and activate it from Theme Options. It was activated successfully but the site kept on loading and loading but never loaded on my localhost installation.

Cheers!

That’s why I said after active the child theme = > go to theme option = > click save option . Then load your website

Thanks

Yeah, it’s working now. But why one has to click on “Save Options” after theme activation? This seems a bug. Isn’t?

Yes but I will solve it in next update but I think use custome css is more then safer then child theme

Thanks

Oh.. I already started with child theme but still it is not too late.
Thanks.
