So you are hiding the text from theme options on purpose?
In the child theme add your text after the logo surround it with a class so you can style it and then add your css? Are you asking for where to put the text or how to style it?

First you want to make sure you’ve turned on the dynamic filter in the theme options shop settings for the shop page or category page depending on what you want.
With the link as the example I created a category called Packs then added two child categories “mens’ and “womans”. So with the filter on for the category pages when you go to gear packs it show all child categories as a filter

It seems you have edited some files? is that correct? are you using a child theme? Right now the main div is showing a class that should only show up if the page is full width.

Can you tell me what version of the theme you are using? and what you might have changed?

My mistake, functions.php is original, it was only the others, and it’s simple lines of content or shortcodes from plugins to display certain things by default, like in post footer and such.

I have no clue how to set up child themes, I need to learn.

How do I update to the new theme, from 2.0 to 2.1?

The importer says only for version older than 1.7.4

Thank you

I would be careful, I would compare before you copy. You should be ok with those files.. I’m guessing you just added to functions.php?

you might be better off creating a child theme in the future?

Yes that is correct ver much different, I suggest using a child theme css rather than editing the theme files.

That’s when I get anxious. Here’s an example about sidebar:
Thanks for your very good tip/warning:
at Settings/Reading/FrontPageDisplay: Leave Posts page option Unselected because if you select it you’ll get the Primary Sidebar. (which I don’t want)
But also there is:
Appearance/Customize/StaticFrontPage. I presume I’ll want to leave that Post page unselected also.
And there is ThemeOptions/BlogOptions/BlogPostDefaults.
I want to have a front page for my blog that has all the posts in that lovely infinite scroll, but No Sidebar. But on the subsequent clicks or possible views (More, Categories, Monthly Archives) I do want the sidebar.
So at ThemeOptions/BlogOptions/BlogPostDefaults/BlogPostSidebarDefault — I choose No.
But I read in that name there, ‘blogpost’ so not sure, because I consider my selection to do with the Archive of all, my blog entry page, which is not my home page or my front page. Am I aiming for something not possible?
And below, BlogCategory/ArchiveDefaults I choose With Sidebar graphic. And I guess the Primary Sidebar is the one to choose. You don’t get to create other Sidebars, other than HomeWidgetArea. (He’ll be handy for putting a Log-out widget.)

I’m still confused about which template gets called: which Dashbd/Page/Page Attribute Template matches up with which php template residing in the directory folder(s). If I knew what to look for, or where to look when I use Firebug. I’ve read about the template hierarchy, but I just don’t see template calls… Still learning.

I see something today I never noticed before: In Appearance/Editor on the right side above all the templates listed there, there’s a pulldown menu to choose which theme you want to edit. The provides a nice bath for copy&paste from the Virtue theme to the Child theme. I’ll work with that today, see if I mess things up!

Hi,

I’d like to install the plugin WP-PageNavi on my site; plugin documentations says:

***************************************************

“In your theme, you need to find calls to next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() and replace them.

In the Twentyten theme, it looks like this:

<div class=”nav-previous”><?php next_posts_link( __( ‘<span class=”meta-nav”>←</span> Older posts’, ‘twentyten’ ) ); ?></div>
<div class=”nav-next”><?php previous_posts_link( __( ‘Newer posts <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘twentyten’ ) ); ?></div>
You would replace those two lines with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi(); ?>
For multipart pages, you would look for code like this:

<?php wp_link_pages( … ); ?>
and replace it with this:

<?php wp_pagenavi( array( ‘type’ => ‘multipart’ ) ); ?>
Go to WP-Admin -> Settings -> PageNavi for configuration.”

**********************************************************************

I don’t know if Virtue Premium is multipart page or regular page type and I don’t know where to go in the theme files to change it. Can you please assist me by telling me where/ what code to replace in this theme. Also, I am using a child theme, so would I do this in the original or my child copy?

I know the theme supports continuous scrolling, which is great for many who prefer it, but I always install PageNavi on any theme I use.

Thank You

Hey,
Well I mean anything in the theme options that outputs css. So all the style settings, typography, and of course custom css.

In short if you put your css in the child style sheet it should work just great but with certain tags you will need to use stronger selectors. But it’s pretty simple to add stronger selectors, like I stated above just adding html or body will make the selectors stronger.

Using the page id tag is a great way to make edits specific to a page.

Thanks for your answer! Uncertain about exactly what you mean here: “To make your child theme styles override anything done in the theme options you have to create a deeper css.” I understand about CSS that shows up later than. I understand about deeper css although I don’t always know how to write it. The part I’m uncertain about is “anything done in the theme options” — Anything?? You gotta lotta theme options there. Or do you mean anything done in the Advanced Settings/Css place. I still want to re-ask my same question: If I put all my css edits in my child theme, and none in the Advanced Settings Css place, will the edits work? I guess your answer implies that I might have to use stronger selectors?
I hope I know how to write stronger selectors! I want different pages to have distinctive layouts, thus my frustration with: which template gets called, which Dashbd/Page/Page Attribute Template matches up with which php template residing in the directory folder(s).
The new trick I learned recently — adding .page-id-xx at the beginning of the selector — helps a bunch, but there’s more I still don’t know about controlling things. So it goes!

Hey Laura,
To answer your question using a child theme is effective and can give you all the customization you want. But there are some things you should note. CSS created by the theme options panel will show up on each page later then css you create in your child theme. So as an example lets consider header fonts for h1 tag. In the main virtue css file there is styling for h1 and if you have a child theme and add a style for h1 that will override the main style sheet but in your theme options there you can also style h1 and it outputs css later then your child theme so it will override your child theme styles. To make your child theme styles override anything done in the theme options you have to create a deeper css. For an example using html or body at the beginning of each line like so:

body h1 {
font-size: 32px;
}

or adding an !important to the end of each style like so:

h1 {
font-size: 32px !important;
}

Hope that makes sense. Let me know

I just cruised from Support page 22 up to page 1 and I have chill bumps realizing how quickly you respond and you might even see my question today. Yea Missoula!! I have a site and I’m learning to use WordPress. I do like Virtue Premium very much. I want to control the spacing of things. I first set up some CSS in the Advanced Settings place, and later some in a Child. But it seems logical to have all my CSS edits in one place. With a Child Theme I would have a larger view window since I’d be on my FTP program rather than in the WP Dashboard with the skinny little window way down the page on Advanced Settings. But yesterday I moved all my CSS to a child and, with some other tinkering, managed to mess up my site to the degree that I’m now determined to start all over again* and reconstruct the whole thing from a fresh WordPress installation and a fresh Virtue Premium installation. Honestly the site didn’t have all that much, so I’m thinking this will be good experience and won’t take long. But before I start I want to confirm my assumption that all the CSS edits in a Child Theme will be just as effective as if I have them, or some of them, in the Advanced Settings spot. Is that right? http://www.hasselmannsbayco.org

* i’m so confused about which template gets called, which Dashbd/Page/Page Attribute Template matches up with which php template when I look in the Directory with my FTP program — that’s where my learning is at present

I don’t think the problem is the theme. I went in and trimmed the number of processes that Apache was allowed to create.

Where it was set, it was running the machine right up to the edge of the available RAM and then when any traffic came, took it over the edge.

Specifically, I modified (on Ubuntu) /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 5
MaxClients 20 (this was 150)
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
</IfModule>

The “MaxClients” value was set to 150, which gave the system latitude to create a large number of processes. If you looked at top and sorted by %MEM, after a short time, you could see that 70% of the memory was taken up by apache2. That doesn’t leave a lot for everybody else. Right now it is hovering around 40%, which is fine for my 1GB RAM machine.

Were you using a child theme? 1.7.4 should have the new options panel so you shouldn’t need to use the upgrade path.. Can you email me a login?

Hi, I just purchased Virtue Premium the other day and I am thrilled with it; it is REVOLUTIONARY and brilliant, esp. user-friendly! words cannot explain how I love this theme.

Ok, here’s my question. Feel it is best practice to use a child theme when I have a theme installed, so I figure I better get to it to be safe for the upgrades and such. I found a question on this forum regarding that; tried to copy that info and put it into a css.file and install it but it won’t accept it, it says it is intalled but has “no stylesheet” or “no template” even though it’s all stated in that style.css file

the path is like Virtue-Premium-child/style.css

I have the style.css document inside (and just by itself in there) a folder called style.css inside the Virtue-Premium-child folder. both won’t work. I don’t know but I’ve tried installing and uninstalling this about 7 times via ftp and I am getting frustrated.

I really am just winging all this, not a coder, so I am thinking I have something in a folder when it shouldn’t be or a hyphen when it should be a dash.. very frustrating! Also, it seems I need php or something more than the style.css file, although WordPress codex says that’s all I need…. ughh

If you could provide a child theme for us premium users to just download it would make my day!

pleeeeeeeeeeze help me!
thanking you in advance

oh, ps. this is what my style.css folder has in it: (I wasn’t sure what version to put so I just left that out b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t accept it if it updates) tried both ways with version and without, neither worked.)

for a child theme it’s not like a template you don’t copy the parent theme functions and modify, you can only add too the functions. Don’t copy them into a child theme that will crash your site. Just paste that code into the child themes functions.php or the bottom of the parent themes functions.php

Ben

In which part of functions.php do I have to add it? May I add a functions.php to my child theme and modify it? If yes is it enough to copy the functions.php from virtue theme to my virtue child theme?
Thanks
