Updating cakifo removed widgets from front page

You should not include the parent theme CSS in your child theme. You should import it instead by using:

@import url( '../cakifo/style.css' );

and then only overwrite the necessary things.

Is there another way of correcting the override short of gutting the entire CSS? A change to one of the .php files? Basically I just want the widgets to appear on the front page in addition to where they’re already visible.

I see what you mean now. It appears to be a bug in the theme. I’ll make sure to fix it in the next version.

You can fix it in your child theme functions.php

<?php

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_setup', 11 );

function my_child_setup() {

	/* Get the parent theme prefix. */
	$prefix = hybrid_get_prefix();

	/* Set the layout for the front page. */
	add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout' );

	/* Other Actions and filters calls go here. */
}

function my_cakifo_child_frontpage_layout() {
	if ( is_front_page() && ! is_home() )
		add_filter( 'get_theme_layout', 'cakifo_theme_layout_two_columns_left' );
}

function cakifo_theme_layout_two_columns_left() {
	return 'layout-2c-l';
}

?>

Hope that helps you. If not, feel free to write again. If you have any questions beside this one, I recommend you sign-up for support on Theme Hybrid.

I really appreciate it. Sorry to be a pain–another developer set this up for us and completely buggered the job when creating the child theme, and now I’m on damage control. Thanks for the help.
