Easy to install and setup SSL certificate.

Thanks very much for the information, just what I needed.
I used the following to change the background color as well and to keep that color when selected.

.main-navigation li:hover > a,
.main-navigation li.focus > a {
color: #f2f2f2;
background-color: #000fff;
}

.main-navigation .current-menu-item > a,
.main-navigation .current-menu-ancestor > a {
color: #f2f2f2;
background-color: #000fff;
}

Best,
Mike

Hi,
I’ve also noticed that the header custom image doesn’t display when the child is activated (just the default blue) but does when the parent is activated.

Hi,
Just trying to change colors at the moment:

#wrapper {
	background: #F7A5FA;
	margin-top: 20px;
	padding: 0 20px;
  clear: both;
  position:relative;
}

#site-title a {
	color: #F7A5FA;
  background:#1a1a1a;
  padding:0 10px;
	text-decoration: none;
  text-shadow:0 1px 2px #111;
  float:left;
}

Thanks

I started from here. I created absolum-child subfolder and created a style.css here and added the following:

/*
Theme Name:     absolum-child
Theme URI:      https://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Description:    Child theme for absolum
Author:         Mike Giles
Author URI:     https://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Template:       absolum
Version:        0.1.0
*/

@import url("../absolum/style.css");

Activated the child theme in wp-admin.
However any css I place in the child css doesn’t get applied.
(I’m doing this on a localhost)
Thanks,

Hi James,
Sorry I haven’t had an opportunity to try this yet. I will as soon as possible as the slider background looks great.

Thanks very much.
Mike

Hi James,
I have made minimal changes to the theme php. Mainly css changes in style.css of child theme. I have installed a number of plug-ins and made customisation through wp-admin.
wp_head and wp_footer are both there.
I did find that the overlay link was wrong, I’ve corrected this and now see a static image in background but h1 of pages is still corrupted. I have also noticed that the slide show is always published as private even when I change it to public ?
I have deactivated all the plug-ins apart from Vegas slider and removed all child theme changes apart from the shortcode in header.php.
I have placed a screenshot here https://www.box.com/s/ugx7yzxgjj7t10oztepd

Looks like I may have to start again !?
Thank you,
Mike

Hi James,
You can download the screen shot and header.php (from my child theme) from

I have removed the get_header() as this wasn’t in the original header.php
file in the simplecorp theme. It has made no difference.

Mike

Hi James,
Thanks very much for your reply.
I changed the shortcode to
‘ <!– vegas slider shortcode –>
<!– <?php get_header(); ?> –>
<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[vegasslider id=”202″ fade=”5000″ delay=”2000″ overlay=”https://localhost/www/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/1422057_35148924.jpg&#8221; title=”Activities” arrows=”no” autoplay=”yes”]’ ) ?>
‘
The h1 is still being corrupted, all I see on the background is the title “Activities” in the bottom righthand corner.

If I take the shortcode and place in the content of the page h1 is not corrupted but again only see the title in the background.
Is it worth me trying to place the code in the footer.php ?
Thanks again.
Mike
