Oh, I did check your second link, thanks and have bookmarked it.
I will be posting my questions under the theme forum from now on.
thanks for the tip.

Hi Ron,
I tried to paste that one line in the css but it didnt work.

Also looked at the functions.php and comments.php in the parent theme to see what paramater needed changing. I couldn’t see any reference to the html tag text as a display.

Should the code:
.form-allowed-tags {display: none;}
be inserted after a #label in css?

If so, I can check the parent theme style.css

thank you,
Matilda

Hi Batharoy,
It worked! You are a genius!!!
Just to let you know:

1. I didn’t need to copy the parent header.php file as the child theme inherits the code from the parent.

2. I opened the child’s header.php and looked for /images/logo.png.

3. Then I added the title section, as you stated, after the alt=”” part.

I gotta say I am used to plain html which is much easier to read than wordpress php — [intimidating]

Have a great week. ??

Thanks catacaustic for your time, I’ll take your advice on board. ??

That’s interesting about IE, I’ll bet a lot of workplaces use this policy. My site renders okay on Firefox and will check Safari as I’ve heard of people on Macs uninstalling Firefox in preference for Safari.

Joined a Linkedin forum and one member has suggested:
” You have to make changes in the css of your child theme. Better to make another css file for IE – use webkit and moz for browser compatability.”

Is that good advice?

BTW – dont instal the latest version of Firefox. Last weekend my husband went to official Mozilla Firefox site to download the latest version and we got massively spammed with adware for mobile apps, that downloaded and started changing settings on my PC. Never seen anything so aggressive in all my life.

Luckily we have an uninstaller utility and it took some time to get the crap off.

Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately it’s a must to use child themes. I recently looked into which were the most widely used browsers and frankly it’s not worth worrying about ones like Safari which have a market penetration of about 3% of users. Nor is it worthwhile going back too many version of IE, for example. IE 9 is more ubiquitious than IE 8 now, but I wouldnt be concerned with anything earlier (not worth the effort for the return). The bulk of users tend to upgrade when prompted.
BTW there are issues with IE 10, but I hear version 11 is okay.

Thanks for the advice Esmi. The old-fashioned ‘you get what you give’. I’ll make a point of checking in now and then to help reduce those unanswered replies.

I am learning a lot by doing so am sure I can help others along the way. The other day I answered a post about how to create a child theme.

Thank you.

I’ve heard of htaccess.

What is it and where do I put the above code.

thanks.

Hi alchymyth and Andrew,

Thanks for the advice. I finally worked it out for myself and replied to my own topic (customer menu nav bar) so others can benefit.

Andrew – what do you mean help reduce the chance of threads going unanswered? I clicked on the link you provided and it opens a page of unreplied posts.

I am replying to myself:

Go to WordPress Codex file Navigation Menus and follow instructions.

You must register your menu items in the funcctions.php file of the child theme.

Menu titles will appear in the Menu Settings of the dashboard where you can chose where they will be located.

Related Codex file – Creating Horizontal Menus – follow instructions if you want a horizontal menu list.

THANK YOU WORDPRESS.

Thank you Batharoy. Have a great week.

Hi Batharoy,
Yes to all three questions above. I re-checked, and didn’t have topbar and primary set in the Menu pane.

Now you can see three menu items below the header, but they are aligned under each other (as per Frontier default theme).

I’ve made a child of the theme. Thinking will have to scrutinise the code in Editor and apply code snippets.

Looks like header image has a fixed width as unable to stretch it across the page. Would code snippet fix?

Also would a code snippet fix my prob with the menu bar aligning left.

Thank you.

Why is WordPress 3.8.1 interface so poor. I understand it can’t be much because it’s free. I don’t object to the bare bones, just that it should do what it say it’s supposed to do.

There is a plugin called Duplicate Theme. Once installed it appears on your WordPress author sidebar. When you create a duplicat child theme it will appear in your themes library where you can activate it.

Duplicate Theme
Version 0.1.6 | By Muller Digital Inc. | Visit plugin site

Dont have the URL but if you search in the plug ins library it is there.

PS – having lots of bother with www.ads-software.com interface, seems to have bugs galore. In the past I created a website from scratch using raw html/css and some cut/paste javascript. It was a lot easier and more straightforward than this.

Thanks I will try the plugin.
Have you used child themes yourself? I feel I will still need to create one.
