child theme prob with site logo

You’ll need to post the relevant code in order for us to help you.

You’ll probably do fine if you use a full URL path.

I am working locally on xampp. Here is the code:

/”>
<img src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/logo.png” width=”300″ height=”75″ alt=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>”>

This is your problem:

<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>

You’re telling WordPress to look in the Template directory – i.e. your Parent Theme directory – for the logo.

Change it to this instead:

<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>

How is this function call able to distinguish between parent and child theme? get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
thanks for the help.

The stylesheet directory is the Child Theme. The stylesheet directory is the directory that holds the stylesheet for the currently active Theme. So, if you have a Child Theme active, get_stylesheet_dierctory_uri() will refer to the Child Theme.

In the case of a Child/Parent relationship, get_template_directory_uri() will refer to the Parent Theme, based on the Template: parent-theme header tag included in the Child Theme’s style.css file.

In the case of a stand-alone Theme, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() and get_template_directory_uri() will always refer to the same directory.

Hi Chip, If I am using my own child theme css to override the parent style.css, how do i override styles from different directories within the parent theme? thanks
