Hi
But your post yesterday stated
You now need to add a copy of the orginal header.php template file into your child theme, edit the file and immediately before the second occurrence of <?php get_search_form(); ?> add:

<div id=”email-block></dv>

So (as far as I’m aware) I copied EVERYTHING out of header.php into the child theme and added the code you suggested.

Hi Esmi
Have you looked at my link?

This is how it looks now
https://contemporaryfunctionband.co.uk/
this is how it looked before
https://thiscarbonfootprint.co.uk/how-it-looked-before.png

Here is what you advised to put in my child theme
https://thiscarbonfootprint.co.uk/what-the-twenty-eleven-child-css-text-reads.txt

It is sitting in my THEMES folder as a css file in a folder called
twentyeleven-child

Please advise

OK.
Ive changed the header picture – not a problem

Ive stopped it from displaying the header text (if thats what its called) – not a problem

In THEME OPTIONS
Dark is selected (it was still selected from before) – not a problem

Select Colour is 1fbce4 (it was still selected from before) – not a problem

Default Layout has CONTENT ON LEFT selected, but this obviously isnt working as there seems to be no no space for widgets on the right (ie mp3 player etc) – PROBLEM

The fonts are all wrong, the header image is shifted to the left. the search bar isnt in the same position, the Page links under the header image are vertical rather than horizontal, the mp3 player is sitting on the bottom rather than on the right hand side

I want it to look EXACTLY how it did before, but just want to make a few MINUTE changes. Is this really the best way to do it?

Please advise on how to sort the above?

Just to note, before I did this it looked like Twenty Eleven but had my own header, with a black background 000000, theme options Dark, Link Colour 1fbce4, contents on left with none of the text at the top

and looked like this (If im allowed to post images, or links to images on here)

Except I had added some more text to the header image that had an email address on.

Right, I have just selected my twenteleven-child theme it and it has completely messed the look of my website up

Please advise.

Hi
Before I put this live on the site and select
Twenty Eleven Child as my theme can someone confirm that NOTHING will change on my site by doing this?
The colours I have set will remain the same, the header image will remain the same, the theme options will remain the same, the background colour will remain the same etc etc etc?
Because my site is actually live and I dont want it to look all different while someone advises me how to change things?
Thanks

OK, Ive copied
header.php
into my childs theme and added
<div id=”email-block></dv>
immediately before the second occurrence of <?php get_search_form(); ?>
So now it looks like.

Just to note I would also like to NOT have grey border lines around my images. But we can deal with this later.
So, what next?

Hi there
I have created a child theme
I have my
style.css
file sitting in a folder called
twentyeleven-child

with the following code in the style.css file

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child
Theme URI: http: //example.com/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http: //example.com/about/
Template: twentyeleven
Version: 0.1.0
*/

I have not put it online yet and await your advise on what to do next?

OK thanks. But cant I just remove the plugin via the dashboard?
Or is it not fully removed sometimes if doing it without FTP?

If anything goes pear-shaped.
Many thanks, but could you elaborate on this sentence please?

Many thanks.

Can I just clarify that if you bought web hosting space, then you’re not running the sites from your own computer? You’re running the sites from the web host.
Yes I understand this, what I mean is I will solely be working on all 5 websites from just one computer. Therefore I guess I will be putting the website online using FTP. Thats why I say “Running the sites from my own computer”

And you can install wordpress on each of those domains in the one single account at your webhost, using whatever computer you like.

Will I therefore need to install wordpress 5 times for the 5 separate sites?
I really think multisite will be too much for you.
I think maybe you are right.

If the above is correct do I just follow “Normal” installation for a single site?
Thanks

Your web site has nothing to do with your Mac.

I understand this, but the installation method was a lot different to the Windows installation method. It was a lot more complicated.

Anyone out there doing this on a Mac that has some suggestions?

Just to note it seems that it doesnt matter if I run MAMP or not my website still updates itself (but not with any plug-ins) so I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong in the initial install process.
When I installed it, I did it using the SOFTACULOUS method.

Hi there
Can you advise how to install plug ins on the site?
I cant see any tutorials and dont understand this.
Thanks
