Hi,

I am using my own child theme and would prefer not to change. How can I incorporate footer widgets into my own child theme? I know there must be a bit of coding to do which I am capable of, just haven’t figured out exactly what to do yet.

You can try adding the custom css:
p.copyright {
display: none;
}

p.credit {
display: none;
}

I just wanted to follow up and see if anyone else might have some suggestions to help me enable widgets in my footer?

There is no section for footer widgets, only “Primary” which is my primary sidebar

I just wanted to follow up that I haven’t used the chrome browser since my previous post, but just did by accident and the site is still showing up tiny :/

Do you know of anything else that could be causing it?

Okay thanks so much ?? I just got confused and wondered if I’d done something wrong.

Hi,

Thanks so much! I tried this and it seems to have worked (!!) at least in Firefox browser. It’s still showing up tiny in Chrome even though I’ve cleared the cache/history a thousand times and restarted chrome and even restarted my computer :/

Can’t figure out if it’s still a caching issue or it’s just not fixed in the Chrome browser. Guess I’ll use Firefox for now and check back on Chrome in a couple days…unless you know of a better way to test if it’s being cached or a browser issue?

Hi,

I checked and it is activated but still showing the bubble letters “1 2 3 next” on the home page.

I also noticed that adding the .nav-previous code to my css didn’t affect the home page pagination; however, on my single post pages, it caused the links for both the previous post and next post to be squashed together on the right side of the screen, but I want this to stay as it was with next (newer) post links left aligned and previous (older) post links right aligned.

[All of this is being done on my development site, not the live site]

Hi,

Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding. I tried what you suggested and downloaded code snippet plugin, inserted the above snippet (on my development site) and nothing seemed to change…

Is this because I’m trying it on a development site on my local server? or something else?

Thanks for the help

ok, never mind ?? I went ahead and added those css selectors under my media queries and fixed the problem. Should have tried that before I posted!

So I thought that adding the media queries had fixed everything but while clicking through I realized that just a few specific pages are still not being mobile responsive.

On my ipad, my ‘Shop’ page is not responsive. It’s using a custom page template so I’m guessing that my css for that page is somehow overriding the media queries? The url is https://goldlionstyle.com/shop/ and the css selector I use for that page template is
#content.shop-wide {
width: 850px;
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Also on my mobile, neither the pages nor single posts are responsive. Same story as above, these have a custom template that uses the css
#content.no-sidebar {
width: 700px;
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Example urls are https://goldlionstyle.com/date-night/ and https://goldlionstyle.com/contact/

Would you know how to fix this?

Thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it!

Sorry for the delay! So if I remove my child theme functions file, do I first need to make sure that all of the elements in the Omega style.css are also included in my child style.css (including those that I didn’t make changes to)?

Because currently the only elements I have in my child style.css are those that I wanted to change from the parent theme.

My child theme functions file says this

<?php
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘enqueue_parent_styles’ );
function enqueue_parent_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ );
}
?>

but I thought that creating this functions file was part of creating my child theme initially because it informed the theme to use omega’s scripts, etc.

This may be a beginner question but I was under the impression that my theme wouldn’t work properly if I didn’t have this functions file in my child theme…

Wonderful! I added the media queries and it fixed my problem. Thank you so much!
This is my first child theme to create, and I was under the impression that I only needed to add the specific css elements in my child theme style.css that I wanted to change, and everything else would be pulled from the parent theme style.css.
Are you saying that if I copy every item from omega style.css into my child theme style.css, this would prevent my site from loading the omega style.css altogether? I was actually trying to improve my site performance so I would love to know how to make it only use my child style.css
