I am using the TwentyTen theme. I think the problem now lies in the functions.php I am getting this message when I try to view my child theme.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘-‘, expecting ‘(‘ in /home/bluem/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten-test/functions.php on line 214

I don’t have clue how to edit php files. was just guessing I had to refer to my child them.

This is what I was looking at:
* To override this in a child theme, remove the filter and optionally add
* your own function tied to the wp_page_menu_args filter hook.
*
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
function twentyten-test_page_menu_args( $args ) {
$args[‘show_home’] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘wp_page_menu_args’, ‘twentyten-test_page_menu_args’ );

So what should I make it to have it point to MY test Child page?

Geee….so much to learn.
Thanks all.

Thanks I figured it out. Some how the //was not in front of continue reading. Don’t know how or when I changed it..but putting it back in in the functions.php fixed it….i hope the right way:-)

Hi,

I am just trying to keep the same functions.php only with this change in size for the header. Just want to make it 350 instead of the 198 in Twenty Ten function.

// The height and width of your custom header. You can hook into the theme’s own filters to change these values.
// Add a filter to twentyten_header_image_width and twentyten_header_image_height to change these values.
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘twentyten_header_image_width’, 940 ) );
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyten_header_image_height’, 350 ) );

In general…what I was taught is that 72 pixels equal 1 inch

You can ftp the images to your server. Or upload to your media library and pick it from there. You will either have to rename your image the same as the original so it will overwrite it or edit the page to reflect your own file name.

If you are using Twenty Ten as your template, you can go to the Appearance Section and click on Header and the upload the new header. It must me the same size as the original as well…or you will have to edit the functions.php for the size you want…then …that means you probably should create a child theme because it will be overwritten when the theme is updated.

If you click on the picture in your post, there are options for resizing it by percentages. You don’t need to change it in any codes. You can set the thumbnail size etc under your settings section in the dashboard. What I try to do is upload any images I intend to use in the size I want them…so then I just select original size.

I am no expert but I think you have to make sure all your images are the same size BEFORE you load them. You can resize to some extent, but if you want them all to match, they need to be the same size as stipulated in the style sheet.

Easy to do. When you are editing, type in the name of the site. Highlight that text then in the edit bar, click on the little icon that looks like a chain link. A window will open and you can put the url in there, set a target etc and click insert. Your link will be made.

Just a suggestion…You ought to create a pdf file because many people don’t have Publisher on their computers and then they can’t open it.

I haven’t used this theme..but it looks cool. Like other templates, I am going to assume the links will change when you create your own pages and name them whatever you wish. BUt maybe I assume wrong.

IF you go to plug ins and search for photo gallery, it will give you numerous plug ins you can use with WP. Some are better than others. But being new to this as well…I discovered the multitude of plug ins that can do just about anything you want. And most are fairly easy to use. You can purchase on line photo gallery templates as well that you can upload and use..but try the plug in route first.
Good luck.

Oh…ditch Front Page…so out of date.

Yes thank you. I finally got that after reading the Child Themes section.

However, now I see it tell me that if the original template changes, so too will my new child???

One problem I still have is that sub categories are not lining up properly in the navigation. I haven’t changed any of that code and am comparing old style sheet with new one and can’t find what is doing this.

Look here: https://luraypageweddings.com/services/
why when you click to view dropdowns does it not line up properly.
Note: this only seems to be happening in Firefox

THANK YOU!

Back again…I thought I followed the directions but I get this error message:
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description
Twenty Ten Weddings Theme
The parent theme is missing. Please install the “wp-content/themes/twentyten-weddings” parent theme.

I have a style.css in the folder and I actually put in all the other files from twenty ten. So what am I missing. Where does the parent theme go?

I changed the style sheet to this:
/*
Theme Name: Twentyten Weddings Theme
Description: The 2010 child wedding theme for WordPress
Author: Retired Innkeeper
Version: Child Weddings theme version 1.0
Template:wp-content/themes/twentyten-weddings
*/

Is this correct?

Thanks

Oh my gosh….I had no idea! Thank you for that info esmi ??

I have the entire site done now…do I have to redo the whole thing…or if I just set it to the CHILD THEME…everything will stay the same when an update occurs…is that correct?

I have the entire css style sheet of my new look saved. So I think I can do this. However I still like the set up I have except for changing the one h2 font type and color. Do I just create a separate style for it to get only it to change and not the Nav bar and other headers? I am not quite sure how to go about this.

Sorry I am just getting into this css styles and am unsure of what to do.

Thanks to all.

Thanks..that worked but what about on the static pages? There is no place to do a featured image. I suppose there must be some sort of plug in out there that will do this? I have been searching, but lots of this code is just a foreign language to me ?? Though I am trying.
