Hi,

Thanks for your advice and link.

Would bootstrap ease my life in building WordPress theme?

How to Build a Responsive WordPress Theme with Bootstrap
https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/responsive-wordpress-bootstrap-theme-tutorial

I found following document;
15 Tutorials To Help You Build WordPress Themes
https://line25.com/articles/15-tutorials-to-help-you-build-wordpress-themes

Would they be good examples for me, a beginner, to build WordPress theme from scratch?

Thanks

Thanks for your advice.

I’m running the theme for testing ONLY without commercial value.

Before downloading their theme I have been searching “kitchen/cooking/cuisine etc.” on “install theme”, but without output

Hi,

Kitchener

[ redacted, no need to share that link here ]

Yes, I did.

After adding it on wp-config.php on;
Dashboard -> Tools -> Network-Setup
It requests adding some codes on wp-config.php and .htaccess as well. After adding the codes it pop up Error on database message. On googling a folk suggested adding;
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
on wp-config.php

Then Error on database disappeared. But I couldn’t discover Network on Tools

satimis

Yes, I have done already on their forum and am waiting for a reply.

I’m in anticipation to see whether any folk on this forum has experience on it.

Thanks

Hi all,

OS – Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64bit
I found out the cause. It was the problem of the browser, Firefox.

Now I install Google Chrome and the problem gone

Sorry this is local install WordPress without URL. I can post a screenshot on my private cloud and post the link here. Would it help?

Firebug is NOT on Ubuntu repo. I’ll download it on;

Hi WPyogi,

Thanks for your advice. Performed following steps:-

On terminal-
$ sudo cp /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child/style.css

$ sudo vi /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child/style.css

made changes there. But it didn’t work.

Did it via Dashboard as follow;
Appearance -> Editor – Select theme to edit [twentyeleven-child] -> Select
editing
-> Update File

However following codings fails to work;
1)
body {
background: #727D82;
}
header#branding {
background: #29305C;
color: #B3BDC1;
}

2)
#access a {
color: #EEEFF;
display: block;
line-height: 3.333em;
padding: 0 1.2125em;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:1.89em;

No header displayed. No background color on Home/Page-1/Page-2 etc.

Please advise how to fix the problem.

However if I enter coding 2) above on style.css of Parent then it works. Home/Page-1/Page-2 on blue color with bigger size font

Besides;
I have tried adding html coding on;
Edit Page -> Text (mode)
but no effect.

Any tricks? TIA

Hi gabrielcastillo,

Re background color;
Is it style.css? Parent or child ?

Parent:
/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css

Child
/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child/style.css

style.css of Child is an empty file.

Re line-height or padding
Again is it Parent’s style.css ?
Now;
#access a {
color: #eee;
display: block;
line-height: 3.333em;
padding: 0 1.2125em;
text-decoration: none;

What is “text-decoration: none;”? for

Furthermore what will be the use of Child? Thanks

@ Diogo,

I’ll make a test on my server here first making use of 2 VMs, both running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64 bit with WordPress 3.5.1 installed. The latter was download on WordPress website.

virtualizer Oracle VirtualBox

URL
VM-1 192.168.0.201
VM-2 192.168.0.202

WordPress are installed on;
VM-1
/home/satimis/www/wordpress
VM-2
/home/satimis/www/wordpress
respectively

Both VM are now running and WordPress can be login on browser with;
VM-1 192.168.0.201/wordpress/wp-admin/
VM-2 192.168.0.202/wordpress/wp-admin/

I’m now building a simple website on each of them. After completion I’ll move the website on VM-2 to VM-1 running following steps.

1)
On VM-1 rename all folders on ~/wordpress/ as *.old

2)
On VM-2 run;
$ rsync -a -r -v -e “ssh -l VM1-username” ~/path/to/wordpress/* 192.168.0.201:/home/satimis/www/wordpress/

copying all relevant folders from VM2 to VM-1

I’ll do the reconfiguration concerned either before move or afterwards.

3)
Regarding database table I’ll use “mydumper” (MySQL command. On older version known as mysqldumper) to do job.

If successful I’ll post the complete steps here. On Internet I found an article regarding upload mydumper to Godaddy and run it there.

Step 1) and 2) above are easy to sort out on Godaddy website.

Comment and suggestion are welcome. Thanks.

Regards
satimis

> 4. You clearly did not get me, have you

$ grep define www/wordpress/wp-config.php | grep DB
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mysqlpassword’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Whether make change on them as follows;
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); #unchange
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘website_admin’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘new_password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); #any change here?
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); #any change here?
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); #any change here?

Most the time on my PC I ran MySQL commands to configure MySQL. Thanks
