What I mentioned was to a child theme: I realize the child theme changes are saved. my issue or question is “why do it with a “plugin” vs directly at the html into the header.php file? Are plugins just easier for the average person? Are there security issues not to do this? Does this concept conflict with some of WP design issues? Is it a “code” violation to working with WP? Does it need to be “Hooked”? (hooked concept is still new to me). My concern really isn’t the amount of coding, it is the principle or concept of “my thinking” – am I thinking in line with WP/PHP or not?

Since I am new to WP/PHP, I do not want to waste my time coding to the header.php or footer.php (or any php with html) if is will create a unseen problem for me down the road….

Hope that clarifies my question a little…

addendum:
I re-read the answer again – to clarify – I have added a new header.php to my child theme folder to override the Sosimple folder header.php with MY new code, if that clearer…..

Thank You

Captain’s Log: supplemental –

Okay I reinstall WP (v 4.3.1) with the theme (Photo-Perfect 1.2) & JSSOR (v1.3) plugin only. Verified jssor_slides & jssor_sliders are both in the DB table. Input some data, website works with the exception of the JSSOR slider.

Again, if you can help, please do, as I have a fair amount of time invested in this project, and actually like what I built and it works “locally”.

Thank You

Add another with this issue – JSSOR plugin Worked great in WAMP build, however, not functional after uploading live. Have both

jssor_sliders’ and ‘jssor_slides

tables in the DB. All other parts/plugins work okay. Have deactivated all other plugins with no solution…

Can anyone help with this issue

Thank You
