Sorry, I accidentally replied to my original post, but couldn’t delete it.

The actual problem still exists.

Disregard this reply.

That helps tremendously. Thanks Cory. Changing the hosts file is a great idea.

Yes, this would be extremely helpful. I’m trying to do the same thing – moving to new host but keeping the same domain.

I didn’t see the links you provided. I’ll check those out. Thanks.

The Floating Social Bar. It only has the main 5 (twitter, facebook, google, linkedin, and pinterest.

I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and it appears to have fixed the problem.

Very strange.

I forgot to mention — this only happens when the Disable Socialite option is unchecked.

Hi Syed,

I fixed it by adding a margin to the top of the googleplus.socialite-loaded class.

Thanks.

Nevermind, I just found one that’s perfect.

Okay, I think here’s what’s happening. My knowledge of php is basically what I’ve learned in the past few hours, so please excuse the lack of correct terminology.

Anyway, when the parent and child have different code within the same conditional tags, the child’s code will be used, having the same effect as overriding the parent. I’m assuming this is because php code can’t be appended from child to parent within the same tags. However, anything new outside of those tags will be appended.

I don’t know if that’s how it works, but it makes sense if it does. I think.

Unlike style.css, the functions.php of a child theme does not override its counterpart from the parent. Instead, it is loaded in addition to the parent’s functions.php. (Specifically, it is loaded right before the parent’s file.)

Right, I understand that, but what I’m saying is that my child theme’s functions.php file IS overriding its parent counterpart.

Okay, I’ve been experimenting with this for the past 2 hours and here’s what I’ve discovered. Everything with style.css is working the way it should. But here’s the odd thing with the functions.php file.

I installed a brand new theme and created a child theme for it. I then cut out an “if function exists” section from the parent put it into a new functions.php file in the child theme. So, at this point, the only thing the child’s functions.php file has is this particular “if function exists” code.

After this, everything looked normal when viewing the child theme, as expected. The code from the child was evidently appended to the parent.

But then, I modified that code and put it back in the parent. So now the child has the original code and the parent has the modified code. They’re both within the same “if function exists” tags.

When I did this, the child theme’s code completely overwrote the parent, instead of appending it. I exchanged the code between parent and child, and saw the same behavior.

Am I missing something?

Great, let me give that a shot. Thanks.
