solved, in a way.. ?? I’m not sure if it’s the right way, but.. ??

1. copied all modified files (header.php, footer.php etc) into child’s folder.
2. normal update of parent theme
works like a charm!

yes, I know about the style.css file and it’s ok – the child theme has it as far as I know it replaces the parent’s style.css
and yes, I have reviewed the “Child Themes” info. ??

Thank you both for your help. I’ll backup my data, copy files to child and update. If it’s ok, I’ll come back here to mark this post as resolved. If not.. well, I’ll cry for more help here.. :))))

edit: little bit of grammar.. ??

Andrew, I’m afraid I didn’t make myself understood. I want to be able to update the theme, but at the same time to keep the changes. I don’t want to have to do it all over again every time I update theme. So I hoped that somehow I might transfer all this to the child theme, so that I don’t lose anything by updating “mother”-theme.

weeell.. header.php, footer.php, page.php, sidebar.php … for example.
what changes? hard to tell.. added text, photos, menus etc.. I can’t tell you exactly what’s what.. I wasn’t aware, at that time, it would be such a problem later.. ??
Sorry for being such a noob in this.. ??

that’s right! it worked and now I’m back in the game! :)) thanks a lot, my friend! ??

I added the line, just before the slide, but.. no change.. ??

#headerimage {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

thanks a lot! I’ll do that, but.. where, in the style.css? file?
I am using a child theme…

and it looks like this:

#headerimage {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

…

Hello JLeuze!

I have quite the same problem: my site
My slideshow should be the exact size the header is: 1050px width/288px height. Instead, after the 1.5 version update … it looks like you can see in the link above.. ??
I use WordPress 3.3.2.
Can you help me with that, please? ??

how do I do that? I’m using the “online version” of wordpress, I have nothing installed on my PC..

thanks, I’ll search for it there.. ??

Thanks, did that and works like a charm! ??
I was replacing the whole header paragraph… doh, stupid me.. :))

hi! I’m using the picolight 1.1.1 theme and I want to use Meteor Slide plugin to replace the standard header image with a slideshow of my own. I’ve tried to follow your method from the video posted above, but.. maybe I’m doing something wrong..
Could you help me, please?
