Ooops, almost forgot; thanks again! ??

Yup! The one-click child theme pluggin was a huge help. I’d recommend it to anyone who has not mastered CSS! ??

Hi WPyogi,

I actually deleted the child theme and then re-created it with the one-click child theme pluggin and it’s working. I’ve been able to make a variety of changes and am beginning to slowly catch on to CSS. I have much to learn still, but at least the little knowledge I’ve gained will help me learn much faster.

Thanks for the help.

Yes I just emptied the cache and the childtheme is the active one that I’m working on at the moment.

I’ve just gone to my godaddy file manager again and below is the code in the style.css of the pchychildtheme file.

/*
Theme Name: Pachychildtheme
Description: Pachyderm Child Theme
Author: havabitch
Template: pachyderm

(optional values you can add: Theme URI, Author URI, Version)
*/

@import url(“../pachyderm/style.css”);
.site-title {
clear: both;
color: #49352f;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 48px;
font-size: 4.8rem;
line-height: normal;
margin: 0;
}

Any suggestions where I’ve gone wrong?

Hi,

I just pasted

.site-title {
clear: both;
color: #49352f;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 48px;
font-size: 4.8rem;
line-height: normal;
margin: 0;
}

on the line directly after

@import url(“../pachyderm/style.css”);

then clicked save then refreshed the website, but the changes didn’t take.

Any idea of what I’m doing wrong???

Hi Andrew,

I followed your instructions (many thanks BTW) and was able to make at least some of the changes I wanted to make. The part of you instructions that I’m not clear on is,

“… You’d then transfer this CSS into your Child Theme stylesheet…”

At the risk of exposing my lack of knowledge, where is the style sheet and how do I access so I can past the changes?

Cheers,
Craig

I just had a look at your instructions, Andrew, and on the face of it they look like EXACTLY the thing I need; step by step.

I’ll let you know how I go! ??

Cheers mate.
Craig

Just curious if there is a resource that will walk me through CSS/Child Themes in a logical way from the VERY first step so I can begin to mater what seems to be a voluminous subject?

I ask that because I accessed the Web developer tools and looked, but couldn’t find the Pachyderm site title code that you supplied. That suggests to me that I’ve got knowledge gaps that need to be filled.

Cheers, Craig

Cheers, amte. I’l get to it.

Thanks.

Craig ??

Excellent. That’s a great start. Thanks!

So how do I access Chrome’s Inspect Element? Is it a download?

Yes I use Chrome. Really sorry, but how does that help me with changing my child theme?

As for my site link, I’ve got it hidden at the moment and am working on it at dev.mysitename.com

Yes, I’ve started reading on CSS. The problem I’ve found so far is that quite a few assumptions are made about a readers base knowledge. I’ll soldier on.

RE; Firebug, do I have to download Firefox first then Firebug or is Firebug a stand alone?

Cheers,
Craig

I thought I was. Anyway, I don’t know how to do those things, but I’ll look them up. Thanks for the guidance. Cheers

Oops, sorry. I’m using the Pachyderm theme and as it stands now the site title is black and the tagline is red. I’d like to change both fonts, font size and font colour, but don’t see a way to do it?

Will do. Thanks for the help.
