Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the heads up and kind advice. First use of an open forum of this nature so I questioned the logic and thought I’d post a live ask first.

Managed to resolve the problem with the template edit after trying a few options I came across in the documentation.
Phew!

Many thanks

A theme called noise.
Just realised I was a bit premature in my rejoicing.

Can I send you some login details to view it. You might be able to assist better that way.
Do I post it here or how do I get a username and password to you?…

Hi jmag,

Thanks for getting in touch. What I actually need to edit is the Theme template itself.
A couple of the meta boxes in the main theme have text I want to change in the child theme – that had the sidebar issue…. I have tried the normal route of editing the css file, but my efforts do not seem to be working. To be truthful I don’t think I know what I am doing.

Is there any advice you can give me on editing text that appears on the frontend using the editor and child theme.
I am not sure if it is a style css or php thing.

Many thanks

Hello WordPress superhero’s,

I Popped out a while and returned to find your prompt responses to my shout for help. Thank you all.

This is my first use of the support forum. The site in question is still under construction and as such was not live to for me to create a link to but a login to view/edit assist is created and available to whom ever I was going to lean on for help.

I can however say thank you all and a special thank you to – wpismypuppet – I pasted the code in functions.php and it resolved the issue straight away. Genius….

Again thank you all.

As this is my first use of the support forum, I am writing a second assist request below before I cut and paste it on a new support ticket.

My other query is how to make a permanent edit to the template I am working on, the main reason for the child theme in the first place.

I need to edit a couple of elements in the text layout of the template to make it more suitable for my requirements, but I find that edits I have made with the editor do not appear on the front end of the site.

I am squared eyed from sitting in front of this screen and
now making silly mistakes and missing obvious things.

What am I supposed to do? – What do I do? – where do I start?

Many Thanks in advance
