Styles, images, etc. not displaying

Hey,

The site that you linked to seems to be a static website. Just to clarify, you’re seeing all the regular theme/wordpress options in your admin area?

Correct. I had been using a Child Theme, and since my forum post, I tried viewing the site using a live preview of the original theme. At first, there were a number of errors at the top of the page involving widgets. I randomly just tried the preview again, and it’s showing fine…so I switched off the child theme.
Wondering if I should make a new child theme now? Strange that this gave me errors before but not now.

What kind of changes did you make to the child theme? It’s possible that you will need to change them, as the developer made some slight modifications to some taxonomy within the theme.

If you can provide details as to what changes you made to the child theme, the theme developer will tell you the best way you accomplish it without running into any issues down the road.

Would that be in the Advanced Settings area? If so, the CSS is the same in child as original, and i’ve included below. The main thing that I see as a red flag is the Widget area. They won’t display at all when i look at them in the Child Theme, and 4 of the 6 show in the original theme (though the site appears fine). Let me know if I should look elsewhere. I didn’t do any creative re-working of the theme in building the site, so i’m not sure what else could be out of wack.

#nav-main ul.sf-menu a:hover {
color:#6B160B;
}

#nav-main ul.sf-menu li.current-menu-item > a {background: #A78C7A;}

.page-header {
display: none;
}

@media (min-width: 992px) {
.entry-content {
padding-left: 100px;
padding-right: 100px;
}
}

That CSS should be unaffected. I’ll also note that you do not need to use a child theme for the use of custom CSS.

There is a built-in input area for custom CSS in Theme Options> Advanced Settings.

Try using the parent theme and the built-in CSS input area and let me know if that works for you.

If you’re still experiencing any issues, let me know and I’ll do my best to help get it sorted.
