Hi PPP – where on the packing slip will the new field display?

Hi PPP – thanks. I’ve requested the meta field name from the plugin devs and will let you know as soon as I can get it working!

Update – Dev has responded now and workable solution implemented.

@mikey1 – no improvement after trying that, I’m afraid…

I see this thread was actually marked as “resolved”. My bad. Will post a new thread.

Hi – I just received a very similar message on activating the plugin:

“The plugin generated 179 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

When I try “use your twitter account to log in”, I get a popup window that logs into twitter, but when I hit “authorize” i get redirected back to a 404 on my site and tweetblender isn’t authorized…

Any ideas?

Ahhhh … OK. That makes things a lot clearer.
Thanks for taking the time to explain WPyogi ??

Could you explain why? This exact CSS is already in the parent theme’s style.css and my new image’s name is exactly the same as the original parent theme’s image name – strip-bg.png – intentionally, because I thought that would mean the new image simply “replaced” the old one when the child theme was loaded…

@andrew – I don’t want to alter the original image in the parent theme as that kinda negates the idea/efficacy of child themes, doesn’t it? It’ll just get replaced next time I update the parent theme…

@wpyogi – Have tried emptying cache, and am running safari with cache disabled now – still no luck.

Am I missing something about child themes here? I understood that files in the child theme file structure are treated as replacements for their duplicates in the parent theme – does this not apply to images?

Thanks @andrew – you’ve confirmed that I could easily create a new image (with a new name) and modify the css in my child theme’s style.css to point to it.

But what I’m asking is whether I can simply duplicate the image in my child theme and modify it WITHOUT needing to change any CSS. Do you know if this is possible?

It’s not that I’m worried about modifying CSS – and in this case it’s not much – but it seems the strength of child themes is needing to modify as little as possible, and I’m trying to understand why this isn’t working in this instance… Any ideas?

I’m trying to replace a background image – the grey one used in the horizontal bar towards the bottom of the home page.
