  • Hello Luke,

    thanks for your post. It came just in time ?? I just did what you said and it worked well. I made a new folder called “flat-child” and added those 2 files you mentions and a few changes like this in the style.css file:

    /*
     Theme Name:   Flat
     Theme URI:    https://example.com/flat/
     Description:  Flat Child Theme
     Author:       John Doe
     Author URI:   https://example.com
     Template:     flat
     Version:      1.0.0
     Tags:         flat
     Text Domain:  flat-child
    */
    
    /* =Theme customization starts here
    -------------------------------------------------------------- */
    
    /* Header - Untertitel - Schriftfarbe */
    #masthead .site-description, .hentry .entry-meta {
        color: #fff;
    }
    
    /* Widget - überschriften - Textfarbe */
    #secondary .widget-title {
        color: #fff;
    }
    
    /* Widget - Linkbox - Textfarbe */
    #site-navigation .current-menu-item > a, #site-navigation
    .current-menu-parent > a, #site-navigation
    .current-menu-ancestor > a, #site-navigation
    .current_page_item > a, #site-navigation
    .current_page_parent > a, #site-navigation
    .current_page_ancestor > a {
        color: #fff;
    }
    
    /* Footer - Seitenzahlen - Hintergrundfarbe */
    .paging-navigation .page-numbers {
        background-color: #ff7e00;
        border-color: #000;
    }
    
    /* Footer - Seitenzahlen - Hintergrundfarbe, HOVER */
    .paging-navigation .page-numbers:hover {
        background-color: #2c486f;
        border-color: #fff;
    }

    I just wonder why it was so easy ?? I mean how did the child theme found out which one is the parent theme? And why is the child theme also named “Flat” and not “Flat Child”

    I could not see anything in the functions.php that defines which parent theme to chose.

    And how do I add a thumbnail to the child theme. I often make websites for customers and its always a pain if theres a design update…

    Thanks again for everything,
    Atilla

    Ok I tried this now it worked with child theme. Thank you for the great post everyone.

    But I will try that out these days, now Im just too tired to do more then coffee, copy & paste ?? Now im curiuous about how it works…

    Creating a child theme looks quite complicated for me honestly – I am just trying to finish it in time quick, and yes a little bit dirty, too. I know I will think of you at the next update when my banner is gone but that`s ok with me for now.

    At least next time I will know why it`s gone.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello everybody. I did it like this:

    First I just deleted the title in the hgroup area. I did not really delete the code but just made it invisible with this tag: <!-- Invisible Code bla bla -->

    Then I added a picture by its link to the header area. I uploaded the banner ine the media gallery before so I can go and copy the link from there.

    I then linked the Banner up to the homepage and gave the link a title.

    I thought this works ok, because it always worked good with the non responsive themes. Now I went to the page of mollystillman and checked the code with firebug. The missing link for me was this part: class="header-image"

    If you add that one to your pic the banner will act responsive and get smaller if you make the browser smaller.

    <hgroup>
                            <a href="index.php" title="FW-Angeln-Pur"><img class="header-image" src="https://fw-angeln-pur.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/fw-angeln-koeln.jpg" width="960"></a>
    			<!-- H1 and H2 TAGS ARE INVISIBLE / NOT ACTIVE
    			<h1 class="site-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
    			<h2 class="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>
    			-->
    		</hgroup>

    You can see the results on these pages:

    I hope I could help somebody with this. Best wishes to everybody from Germany.
