Sorry esmi. I am lost at this. I guess I will have to wait until I can get hands on help.

“Making a child theme is very simple. Create a directory, put a properly formatted style.css file in it, and you have a child theme!”

I think creating the directory is the part I am stuck on.

I can go in and mess around with the style sheet. I am happy to do some trial and error there, but how do I create and set up the directory for the pages on which I want to use the child theme?

How do I begin and where do I go to do it?

You are right. Unfortunately I don’t even get those bits at this point. I understand the concept but I have not yet figured out what needs to be done and where and how to do it. I have tried to create a child theme and have not yet figured out what I am doing wrong. I am guessing it is one of those thing I will have to struggle through. What may seem elementary to the proficient is still beyond this struggling grandma. ??

“With a basic understanding of PHP, WordPress Templates, and the WordPress Plugin API, you can make the child theme extend virtually every aspect of a parent theme, and again, without actually changing the parent theme files.”

herein lies the problem.

Thanks, I had actually tried the drop in before I had gotten your reply. I appreciate your patience. I will see if I can make sense of the child theme instructions. I have tried to read the codex but the language is confusing since this is all brand new and I am not computer adept, so sorry if you seem to be repeating yourself.

OK, here is what I did. I tried using the 5 line lead in for the “snarfer” and the coding information from “picture-perfect” with some font changes. No dice. The info is there under my available themes but I have no idea how to apply it to this one category/page since my template choice is still only “default template” or “one column no sidebar”. This custom template isn’t even listed. I can apply the customized theme to the entire blog however. Still have no clue how to do so for one page.

I am so far in over my head on those editing pages I can’t even begin to tell you.

would it be easier to develop a website externally and auto link it to the blog? I basically want to add an online gallery to the blog site.

here is the url: https://www.jilldefeliceart.com/

will appreciate any advice offered

I read through that but sadly, it is still beyond me. Could I use that and somehow attach the rest of the info from another theme template?

Where would I do this? In the style.css page?

Thanks so much! I am brand new to blogging and am so over my head. Appreciate the assist.

thanks I will try it.

The links are in the side bar on the right. I didn’t rate them so they appear as zeros. I would just like to remove them. They seem to be on the Advanced settings on the links page but thats as far as I can get with it

You can but they are all located on the right. I know what you mean–might as well be one big widget since they can’t be relocated. I use the four footers to break it up.

OK, so I am guessing there is a time delay because today the font changes are there. Maybe I am not so clueless after all

I also tried changing it on the css.styles aheet

Yes. I admit it. I am clueless.

I TRIED EDITING IT IN AS SHOWN BELOW BUT THE FONT HAS REMAINED THE SAME SO THAT OBVIOUSLY ISNT THE SOLUTION…
