In reply to: Navigating to a specific spot on a page in WPThanks, guys. QUESTION: Do I need to include the entire URL in the anchor tag, or can I get away with just the name of the anchor?

In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenI would be grateful if you did, Rev, because it drove me nuts. I need to learn what I did wrong before I try this in the future.

In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenYOU DID IT, leejosepho! I followed your advice, made my own slight modification, and I have a working child theme now! Stripping down the header is what did it for me. There are a few things in it I need to clean up, but I couldn’t care less about that.
SINCERCEST GRATITUDE TO YOU ALL. WP IS THE BEST, and it’s this community that makes it so!

In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenYes. In all, it lists three themes as being broken. For the first two, WP says “Template is missing,” which I suspect means the themes in question have been taken down. It then lists my attempted child theme,
twentytwelve-child
, as a broken theme, saying “Stylesheet is missing.” The struggle has been to find a way to make WP “see” the style.css file that was uploaded via FTP to thewp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/css
folder. So far, nothing has worked.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenStill no joy. I uploaded the style.css file via FTP into wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child. I had indeed made the mistake of failing originally to save it as a .css file, but have since fixed that. Still, WP says “Stylesheet is missing.”
When I look on the FTP directory of wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/style.css via GoDaddy, it lists the stylesheet name as
twentytwelve:style.css
. Could this cauise a problem?Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenThat may be the answer, Rev. I created the file in Smultron, but didn’t give it a .css extension. What kind of name should I give this file when I save it? I tried saving it just now as
style.css
, and when I uploaded it, FTP listed it as a stylesheet (something I should have noticed before). But WP still isn’t seeing it.Both the folder and filename are twentytwelve-child, so I think that should be okay.

In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenShould I delete the old version and upload a new one with the space deleted?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme broken@wpyogi…just did that. No joy. WP still says “Broken link…Stylesheet is missing.” Clearly, I’m doing something wrong, but I don’t know what. Is it that a child theme won’t accept a pre-existing stylesheet? Should I delete the old version and upload a new one with the space deleted?

In reply to: Twenty Twelve child theme brokenFirst, much respect and thanks to you both. Second, I actually find your answer easier to deal with than Rev. Voodoo’s (I always was the counter-intuitive sort). I think I’m close to resolving this, with both your help. Anyway, below is what I uploaded to the twentytwelve-child folder I created. If someone can show/tell me the error(s), I think I can make this work. The stylesheet is derived from the CSS I first created for the template BEFORE trying to create the child theme:

In reply to: [Theme: Twenty Twelve] Setting up menus in the Navigation barOkay, esmi, I already have some custom CSS written for the theme which I like and have saved. I’m thinking I should start from scratch. If I delete my current Twenty Twelve and reload it, will that give me a clean version of the theme, from which I can then create my child theme?
And before I forget, thank you for your help.

In reply to: Twenty Twelve — Vanished Navigation@jcastaneda…You can see the pull-down menus across the top of the page? I had a reader tell me she can’t see them, and neither can I.
