In reply to: Can't import parent theme into child theme (twenty twelve)Well, this problem seems to have solved itself… my site is now importing the parent settings, although I didn’t change anything. Yay, I guess ??

In reply to: Can't import parent theme into child theme (twenty twelve)I did activate the child theme, but it’s a blank slate, and so I switched back to the parent theme while I am troubleshooting. I don’t want my site looking terrible for a long period of time. Do you need me to switch to the child theme in order to make any comments? I can do that if it helps.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Some shortcode-wrapped text disappearingSorry… I didn’t include the URL because said page was in draft, therefore I (as a non-coding layperson) presumed none of this would be visible.
My page is live now at alexoconnell.com/hire-me
I’ll take a look into the wpautop threads.
Thanks.

In reply to: Can't import parent theme into child theme (twenty twelve)I am having the exact same problem. I created a folder under wp-content/themes for my child theme. The folder name has no spaces in it. The folder contains a file named style.css which contains the following code:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child
Theme URI: https://alexoconnell.com/
Description: Child Theme for Twenty Twelve
Author: auoconnell
Author URI: https://alexoconnell.com/
Template: twentytwelve
Version: 0.1
*/@import url(“../twentytwelve/style.css”);
It’s not importing, however. What am I overlooking?
Thanks!

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Some shortcode-wrapped text disappearingUpdate #2: paragraph breaks disappear.
As a result of my first update, above, I attempted to add <P> between the 2 collapse elements in the text editor. Then I previewed my page again.
The addition of <P> did separate the 2 elements… until I went back into my page editor in the dashboard and made further changes to the page, at which point when I previewed it again, the <P> breaks had disappeared.
Here is what the text editor displays (after the <P> have disappeared, originally placed before [expand title=”Just the Basics…):
- development of a marketing materials style sheet for your product or business, so that all new content and materials integrate seamlessly into your brand, allowing you to focus on strategy and customer engagement
[/expand]
[expand title=”Just the Basics — Review & Revision (Basic)”]
Starting at
The ideal option for pieces that are ready “for the printer” or for dissemination to the public. Avoid embarrassing mistakes before going into production. Available for proofs if desired.- copyediting and revision for textual consistency, clarity, and accuracy
- proofreading for spelling, formatting, and punctuation errors
[/expand]
==Ideas? Not sure how I can share what this looks like visually with the forum since the page isn’t live yet.

In reply to: [Collapse-O-Matic] Some shortcode-wrapped text disappearingUpdate: I can now “see” the text which disappeared on me previously, but two expand/collapse elements are running together, without a paragraph or line break — although they are broken up in the text editor. The other expand/collapse elements remain separate.
All code & HTML (from what I can see in the text editor) is identical in all instances.The shortcode I am using is what I found on the plugin directory page:
[expand title=”trigger text”]hidden content[/expand]
Is there a reason this shortcode could behave differently, although what I can see of the surrounding code/HTML is the same?
I apologize if I am asking basic questions… trying to sort through what I don’t know!
Cheers,

In reply to: how to remove default text in contact form fields in theme 2011Thanks Adam, you were right. When I’m not logged in, the default text isn’t visible.
Easy-peasy!

In reply to: how to remove default text in contact form fields in theme 2011Thanks jrelgin, the contact form you recommended works great.
Now I just have to figure out how to remove the default text from my “subscribe” feature!

In reply to: how to remove default text in contact form fields in theme 2011Hey,
The only plugins I have are Akismet and JetPack by WP. It looks like the content form is a feature of the JetPack. I can insert a customized form to any page in the theme.
