are all my pages now using front-page.php?

instead of page.php? i am not using the fullwidth.php at all.

no did not change it, noit sure which page it goes to, and i cannot create a page with a side bar now.

I have gone to:

setting
reading settings

Front page displays: A static page
Posts page: Weblog

and it sort of works, but not like if it were on the front page. doesn’t have summary or side bar?

cannot get side bar for weblog. i might have changed the page.php file. but do not remember.

apologies to wp et all… just the frustration with not having total control like i am used too.

the site is a working site before i put it on its home, yes, i am taking notes and saving files so i can move it.

I worked it out by taking bits and pieces from several posts and combined them, most were for customizr theme, but seemed to work.

in style.css

/*make the menu sub-menu items drop down on mouse hover */
ul.nav li.dropdown:hover > ul.dropdown-menu{
display: block;
margin: 0;
}

the last bit came to me when i replaced the nav area in the navwalker.php with my own copied nave from the generated html code and took out the data-toggle=’dropdown’ and class=’dropdown-toggle’ code in the tag.

the top level menu item worked.

then i said where is that being entered, i know. inside the navwalker, no i commented them out like so…

// If item has_children add atts to a.
if ( $args->has_children && $depth === 0 ) {
$atts[‘href’] = ! empty( $item->url ) ? $item->url : ”;
// $atts[‘data-toggle’] = ‘dropdown’;
// $atts[‘class’] = ‘dropdown-toggle’;

and it worked.

but now to get that navwalker.php onto my child class so it is not changed, but not sure where to put it. does it stay in the main child class theme directory? no, cause it is no working.

do i create an ‘inc’ directory as it was in the main theme’s directory that way? No, not working that way either.

HMMM.

thanks all.

VERY FRUSTRATING.

can anyone tell my why this is not easier and as a default choice.

who the heck has a drop down menu, but not have the top level clickable. i hate sites that have that.

now i know why i code by hand and not use wordpress. I’d been done with it three days ago. but the client wants a wp site. make them do it themselves then they’ll see what i mean.

okay, i got it to hover by following a few things i found. but now instead of the link being ‘#’, as it was before, it shows the correct link, but does not go there.

I would also be interested as I delete about 20 a day.

Done 56 seconds to update, after uploading which took 2 minutes.

WOW!!

Why couldn’t SMF, phpBB, or other php software be this easy?

And as Starbuck asks, yes, I have not customized it. I think that is a major problem with php software is once you customize it, forget about upgrading and keeping anything–pain the the keyboard. So I guess that is the reason for me that it was easy. I will never customize any php or software, it causes headaches, and what adds to them is when the creators of the software tell you to customize but don;t tell you the repercussions down the road–this is what SMF does. then they look at you stupid for customizing.

I fixed my user name, can you delete the ariaapictures account?

It is me…
