For me, Replete had to be changed to replete to match the name the theme uses for it's theme folder. Line 11 already had the lowercase, but line 5, where it says Templete: Replete, had to be changed to Template: replete, for this to work. Cheers! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-a-child-theme-for-replete-that-allows-me-to-override-styling#post-101888 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:22:08 +0000 kaylesimon 101888@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>When I install the replete-child theme, either via the dashboard or FTP, I get a message that says "The parent theme is missing. Please install the "Replete" parent theme." Even though the parent theme is right there. Does the change to functions.php have to be made in order to get the child theme to even work at all? And if so, what happens with the next update to replete, will the child theme stop working? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-a-child-theme-for-replete-that-allows-me-to-override-styling#post-101883 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:12:59 +0000 kaylesimon 101883@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <br /> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-a-child-theme-for-replete-that-allows-me-to-override-styling#post-101877 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:00:01 +0000 kaylesimon 101877@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <br /> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/eunoia-child-theme-functionsphp#post-100405 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 07:50:25 +0000 Dude 100405@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> You can add this code to the child theme functions.php file.

It seems that Replete currently doesn't support child themes.</p> <p>So I changed line 160 in functions.php from</p> <p><code>wp_register_style( &#39;avia-custom&#39;,get_template_directory_uri().&quot;/css/custom.css&quot;, array(), &#39;1&#39;, &#39;screen&#39; );</code></p> <p>to</p> <p><code>wp_register_style( &#39;avia-custom&#39;,get_stylesheet_directory_uri().&quot;/css/custom.css&quot;, array(), &#39;1&#39;, &#39;screen&#39; );</code></p> <p>and put my styles into replete-child/css/custom.css.</p> <p>I think all the wp_register_style() calls around line 160 should be changed from get_template_directory_uri() to get_stylesheet_directory_uri(), then we could override the styles. I didn't look at the other register calls, maybe they should be changed as well.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> <p>Cheers, Bernhard </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-a-child-theme-for-replete-that-allows-me-to-override-styling#post-91978 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 04:17:14 +0000 Nick 91978@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Sorry for the delay.

Just download the zip and install it as you would any theme, and activate it. If your parent theme folder is called anything other than 'replete' (capitalization counts), then you will need to modify line 11 of style.css in the child theme folder.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-can-i-make-a-child-theme-for-replete-that-allows-me-to-override-styling#post-91585 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 23:29:12 +0000 smartsites1 91585@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Howdy everyone, can anyone at all help me in creating a child theme for replete that will allow me to override the default styling?</p> <p>I have looked at the WordPress codex and I have created child themes before...but having an issue with my css in the child theme not overriding the parent theme (replete).</p> <p>Ps.

All else is optional. Other theme authors create child theme files and stuff them with all sorts of fluff. </p> <p>Mainly it's done to force you into using the child theme, since some of the framework function calls of the parent theme are hardcoded in the child theme . Also it is done to relax the first time Wordpress admin, and make them a little more comfortable using the child functions.php file (a file which is not required). It's not easy to start writing php code for the first time looking at a completely empty functions.php file, so some developers add a few things in there.</p> <p>On that note this is what you should do:</p> <p>1) Create a folder right next to the parent folder, located in your '/wp-content/themes/' directory. You can call your child theme folder anything you want , however to make life simpler if you have many themes, its a good idea to call it by the same name as the parent *with a dash and the word child at the end*. So in your case the parent folder is '/wp-content/themes/propulsion' and child folder would be '/wp-content/themes/propulsion-child' (though again you can call it whatever you want.)</p> <p>2) Inside your new empty child folder, create a style.css file, and add the following into it<br /> <pre><code>/* Theme Name: Any Name You Want Description: Anything Author: Anything Template: propulsion */ @import url(&quot;../propulsion/style.css&quot;); /* write custom css below */</code></pre> <p>So as you can see, the most important thing is to have Template directive, and write the name of the parent folder exactly how it is, so if your parent folder is called PRopulSION , you would write Template: PRopulSION.</p> <p>The next part is to have the @import statement exactly as above, making sure that it has the name of the theme folder exactly as your parent folder is written (capitalization, etc.) </p> <p>Now if you want you can create a functions.php file and drop it in the child theme folder, and you can even add the following into it though its not necessary<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* custom PHP functions below this line */ ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>If you want to modify a file, you would go into your parent theme folder, copy the file, then go into your child theme and paste it there *into the same folder structure matching the parent theme.* Since the child theme has no folders inside, you would have to create empty folders matching the location where you copied the file you plan on editing. </p> <p>So if you want to edit file /parent-them/folder1/js/folder3/some-file.php , you would copy some-file.php and create empty folders in your child theme so that /child-them/folder1/js/folder3/ exists and thats where you would paste some-file.php which will now override its counterpart in the parent theme. </p> <p>Don't add anything more to styles.css file in the parent or child theme. Instead create a folder in your child theme called 'css' and place an empty file inside called custom.css (that matches the location of custom.css in your parent theme.) Add your css in there or in Quick CSS in the backend. </p> <p>I hope this helped you out,</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/what-do-i-need-in-my-child-theme-functionsphp-file-for-it-to-work-properly#post-81543 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 12:55:36 +0000 sandieann 81543@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, with other theme developers, the child theme functions.php seems to have a lot of code, followed by a specific area where I can add my changes/additions.

You can use any png image with an icon size. Put the image on images &gt; icons and name it "apply".</p> <p>On framework &gt; php &gt; avia_shortcodes &gt; sc, look for button.js.</p> <p>On the fourth row add this line. </p> <pre><code>label:&quot;Style&quot;, id:&quot;style&quot;, help:&quot;Values: &lt;empty&gt;, info, alert, tick, download, note, help, error, apply&quot;, controlType:&quot;select-control&quot;, selectValues:[&#39;&#39;, &#39;info&#39;, &#39;alert&#39;, &#39;tick&#39;, &#39;download&#39;, &#39;note&#39;, &#39;help&#39;, &#39;error&#39;, &#39;apply&#39;], defaultValue: &#39;&#39;, defaultText: &#39;none (Default)&#39;</code></pre> <p>Notice that we add apply on "help" and "selectValues" </p> <p>Then go to css &gt; shortcodes.css and look for /*Inline Links with icon*/ comment. Add this two lines.</p> <p><code>.avia-button .avia-apply{ background: transparent url(&quot;../images/icons/apply.png&quot;) no-repeat center left; padding: 2px 0 2px 22px; left:-2px;}</code><br /> <code>.avia-ilink .help{ background: transparent url(&quot;../images/icons/apply.png&quot;) no-repeat center left; }</code></p> <p>Make sure that the file extension for the images is correct. In our case we use png image.</p> <p>Try to reload dashboard and enjoy. To add different buttons just do the instructions again. Hope this helps. :)</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Ismael </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/add-more-icons-to-icon-buttons-shortcode#post-49443 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 02:49:32 +0000 reganfrank 49443@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am trying to use different icons to what is being generated for the icon button shortcodes.</p> <p>Theme docs say to :add more icons to the /images/icons folder. but I have done this and they do not show up in the editor.</p> <p>btw, if I add an icon into the /images/icons/iconbox folder, it works but only for icon boxes.</p> <p>Any ideas? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/colour-parent-menu-item-if-visiting-child-item#post-47466 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:22:37 +0000 Kriesi 47466@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey! </p> <p> If you are talking about highlighting the portfolio menu entry when you are on a portfolio single page: no thats simply not possible with wordpress :/ </p> <p> Regards,<br /> Kriesi </p>
