I tried making a child theme by doing it manually, and then using a plugin, but for some reason the child theme ends up looking very different from the parent. Any idea why? The only thing I did was duplicate the theme, rename and edit style.css with the new name and path.

Here’s the page: https://plantekinc.com/about-us/

For some reason my page name is not showing up in the navi bar. I will remove the title that’s in there now.

This page SHOULD look like this eventually: https://plantekinc.com/

Okay, I found where to put the close tag. Dreamweaver shows both tags as red, but it worked when I uploaded my stylesheet so I’m not going to worry about Dreamweaver for now. I’ve run my CSS thru the validator in the past but that didn’t come up for some reason.

Closing that tag caused issues with other styles that were below it, but I have those fixed now.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for pointing that out as I never would have seen it myself. It explains a lot of problems I’ve been having with web sites as I’ve been using wp-framework for quite a while and the ignoring style issue always comes up. Even older versions of it have that missing tag. I’ve been struggling for so long but will use the WP default themes as a basis for my sites from now on.

Mystery solved!

Where do I put the close tag? I don’t know what @media print { } even is. Do I treat it just like any other style and put it on the line below it?

Oooooo, thanks, I’ll take a look at those. I’ve been surprised by the errors in the style sheet from the template I’ve used, wp-framework. I need to contact the developer with a couple of problems. I just assume someone who is able to make a template like that would proof it. I’ll get back to to this topic to report results.

Phew, I tried everything and this is what finally worked:

For my nav wrap: absolute and z-index: 99999

Oooohhhh, thanks, that’s great to know!

That’s only if the images are stored on my computer, not where ever WP puts images when you upload them, correct?

Thanks for the link, I’ve bookmarked that several times.

I am loading photos via WordPress, but I can stop doing that right now. However, I’m using a plugin called Meteor Slideshow which, I think, puts the images up on Picasa. Is there any way to move those when the time comes? Or do I have to re-do the slideshow completely after moving?

Thanks for your help.

I fixed what I could. It still says ” 1463 Parse Error [empty string] ” which is not an empty string, looks fine to me. I heard there was a bug in the validator about using colors other than RGB and reset the color twice using different RBG colors and it’s still there.

Still having the same issue when I zoom in and out on the page in Chrome. I’m anticipating visually impaired visitors but I guess if they’re visually impaired they won’t notice the 1 pixel issues to the right of my header. I’ve noticed it at two different zoom levels, one large zoom up from 100% view and the two zooms down from 100%. Everything in between seems okay. Maybe it’s a Chrome bug.

I did and it looks like the problems are

1. Parse errors (don’t know what these are, is it in the CSS or the coding?) associated with things that are part of the original template I used, wp-framework, and things that aren’t even in my page such as comments and hentry ul and ol.

2. More Parse errors, and this stuff:

3. Property -webkit-text-size-adjust is an unknown vendor extension. I don’t even know what that is. Is it safe for me to remove it?

I’m not a programmer, I’m an old graphic designer trying to slog through building yet another web site. Not sure how any of that affects my header.

Esmi, care to give me some hints as to what those might be?
