Okay, so all I’ll need to do is use version 1.3 in the child theme, because I can’t update the parent theme because I’ve already made so many changes to my files. That’s the reason I’m trying to learn how to do a child theme correctly : )

Thanks for figuring that out for me.

Thanks. But the following is the entire content of the file you mentioned.

Hi Johnny,

When I go to my parent theme to look for the code. There actually isn’t any color #C1ADA7.

The actual code is below. I don’t know how this can be.

.widgettitle, .archive-title {
background:url(library/images/line-breaker.png) no-repeat left bottom;
font-family: ‘Anton’, sans-serif;
font-size:1.9em;
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#707070;
border-bottom:0;
padding-bottom:25px;
text-shadow:0px -1px #a18d88, 1px 1px #fff;

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for the help. I searched for the code in the style.css. I never found it. I then inspected the element and found the color under the widgettitle area. I found that when I right clicked the precise line 693 and the entire style.css code opened in a new tab.

Then I went back to the parent theme and looked for that specific color couldn’t find it. But on that line in the parent theme was ##707070
That’s an extra # and I deleted that.

Not sure how ##707070 was translated in the child them as #c1ada7.
I deleted the extra # in front of #707070 but the color is still #clada7.

Not sure what is going on with this.

Well, that’s my update on the color problem.

After looking at the theme, I did see one thing wrong with the child theme.

If you look at these two pages:

From the child theme

Same post from parent theme

You’ll notice the sidebar text (titles of widgets) should be bold black text but in the child theme, it’s like faded or simply not black or almost white.

Might someone have an idea how this could happen. I have yet to create any functions in the functions.php. I had created a functions.php file but then deleted it and the faded bold print is still there. So I don’t think that had anything to do with it. Will continue playing with functions.php in the child theme to just see what I can do to customize the site.

Still would like to know why text is doing what it’s doing. It’s something that I’ve only seen in the parent theme when looking at the site in IE.

Thanks,
Brian

There you go. It was the small f that did the trick.

You should see the actual site. It’s https://pizzaspotz.com.

Have a great night and hope you have some pizza soon.

Hi Satish,

I’m not using a child theme, so if I update this, any changes I have made or any customization, will be lost, correct?”

Thanks,
Brian

Are you using anything like an SEO plugin?

Thank you Michael for your great support. I was having the same problems with thumbnails that were extremely large. I’d even put a disclaimer at the top of the site saying it wasn’t IE friendly.

I’ve used the thumbnail regenerator you mentioned and did that.
Everything looks fine now.

I’m so thankful for the great support you offer. I should’ve looked here a long time ago.

The way you take care of the people who use your theme makes you one of the better people in this world. I know that sounds like a bit too much, but when compared to the people who could care less about those who use their themes, you are amazing.

Brian

Thank you very much. I’ll do that.

Is there something negative that can happen if I don’t check the box?

I had a featured image on my blog page and it was cut cropped and the top was cut off. I unchecked the box on thumnails in my media settings and loaded a new image (same image once again) and the size was perfect, no cropping.

That accomplished what I wanted this time, but how might this affect me in the future with other image uploads?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Shazdeh,

I’d like to know if you will be active on the support thread for Harmony 2.0. Is that your theme?

I love it but it doesn’t seem like it’s compatible with IE. No header image shows there.

Thanks,
Brian

Y’all are blessed by God to have only a six second delay. I’m at 12 secs to 25 secs on one of my sites.

Maybe I’m cursed : )

Got it to work.

Something was keeping it from expanding further to the right.
