Hello,
There is a good course on creating child themes on Lynda.com, and quite a few tips/ tricks at designisphilosophy.com. For a full framework built specifically with the creation of child themes, have a look at genesis (studiopress.com).
Hope this helps.

Yes, it’s a local installation. I haven’t changed the folder structure; the root file is set up right, otherwise wp wouldn’t run at all. Also, it must be linking to the database correctly to see all the page/post content in the backend. It’s just the page links that are shot.

Hi, thanks for your reply. The site address has changed, but I did a find/replace on the database to take care of that. Permalinks are the same structure. Here’s the error message:

Not Found

The requested URL /about-us/ was not found on this server.

I get this, despite the permalink to the page being as follows:
https://localhost:8888/about-us/
Same error if click view this page right next to that link.

Thanks for that; I love a learning curve.

Thanks for the reply; since this is not a page listed in the dashboard, but a php file called by the theme, I found the easiest way round it was to link to the stylesheet from the file itself, rather than from the header.

Thanks for the reply, Liam. Problem solved.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I am developing the site locally, so can’t post a link. I think i have found the problem: I can’t help myself spelling colour correctly. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the reply; I tried this, but no dice. What i don;t get is that if i alter the text size for the h4 tag in the stylesheet, it changes, but i can’t get the color to change.

Thanks Jeezyo, this also works; the problem now is that all the custom fields will need updating when the website is uploaded and running off a web server. Is there a way of combining these two solutions, so that the relative address is pulled from the custom field and added to the
<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>

I guess this amounts to adding one php string to another; I’ve had a go, but the page always goes blank; I think i’m not sufficiently versed in php syntax.
Many thanks.

Thanks so much, that worked like a charm. How could I now adapt this so that the image path is pulled from a custom field on each individual page; can the php part be included in the custom field?
