Need help with adding pages to Celestial Lite Theme

    I am new to wordpress but have been building static sites for 5 years. I downloaded WordPress and then downloaded and activated Celestial Lite theme. Then I activated the celestial lite child them and proceeded to create the exact home Page I wanted.

    Now I am trying to create the many other pages I need for this site such as an about page, but when I go to edit the header image for example, I end up changing the header image on the Home Page. I have made sure that I am using the correct page template for the About Page but I just seem to be going in circles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The site is being created in an empty domain that is currently not being used as I don’t want to shut down the main site while I create the new one. The URL is https://www.dearrachelbook.com

  • If you are using a child theme for edits such as CSS, yes, just as you said…copy over what you want to change and make your edits there.

    In a nutshell, a person has two ways of editing CSS:

    1. Child theme
    2. Using a plugin for Editing CSS

    However, if a person wants to make changes to other files in the theme, like change actual coding or a layout, adding something new or modifying something, then a child theme is the way to go.

    I tried these methods but it did not change the spacing of the lines of text.

    It looks like it did because I went to your site and your paragraph lines are much closer now.

    I am in my style sheet making edits to the CSS and at the tops it says ” Theme is broken : Template is missing

    I didn’t move or touch any files except the CSS and I am working in a child theme. Nothing is looking skewed on the site, so what does this mean?

    It means the child theme is not detecting the parent theme (template) of Celestial Lite. Did you create your own child theme or did you use the one that I provided in the theme? It’s located in a folder called “child-theme”.
