Well, my stylesheet is in the directory I called ‘Twenten Child’, which is uploaded and activated as my current theme. So I don’t know what could go wrong there… Maybe other files?

Yesterday it was white, my wrapper background. But because it seemed that the changes I made didn’t come through I tried to do something drastic, I made it pink. That didn’t worked, my wrapper stayed white. Until this morning, it had ‘suddenly’ became pink! Now I’ve made changes again, but it seems that I have to wait a night and that tomorrow my changes will suddenly appear.
I really don’t understand why though…
And I hate working this way. I just want t change a few things, but if I have to wait 12 hours every change, it’ll take me months to finish this.

Thanks for your support.

I’ve refreshed so often, every time hoping for the result… like I wrote, my other site’s stylesheet’s working fine. When I refresh over there it becomes visible immideately.

https://www.bewustzijnsvormen.nl I REALLY want to get rid of that pink…

I’m not sure… I had the opposite: typing my url without www. in front of it gave an error instead of redirecting to my website. I called my host and it was an error in the domain of my website. I (excidentally) deleted some redirecting directories there. They fixed it and now it worked.

I’m not sure this’ll work for you, but you can try to just contact your hosting company.

Good luck!

I’m not a guru and I’m not sure if this will work for you too, but I did the following and that worked for me, creating my own theme, based on twenty ten:

With ftp I got the directory wp-content/themes/twentyten down to my computer.
I renamed the directory there to my theme name. In all the files inside I ‘find and replace’d all twentyten to my theme name, as well as all Twenty Ten and Twenty_Ten.

In the stylesheet I also edited the description of the theme and the author.
Then, when I was sure there wasn’t any twenty ten left in the content any more I uploaded my theme directory with ftp up to wp-content/themes/mythemename.

Then it was visible in the backend (i believe it’s called) in appearence/themes. I simple activated the theme. The only things that were missing were the background and header image. Rest functions completely.

Hope this works for you too. Good luck!

Thanks so much

I’m looking for the exact same answer. I don’t have a clue, so sorry.

Thanks so much!

Thank so much, I think I get it. No time to go and do all that now, but I’ll make sure I’ll get there soon (this weekend).

And I did edit the functions.php. Felt like a hero when I figured out how to change every little thing to my likings (just a few days ago I didn’t know any HTML or php. Learning that ‘a’ needed to be followed by ‘/a’ was more than an eye opener). Would be very depressing to loose it all with one update. So you safed me. Can’t thank you enough!

Won’t kiss you if you still have coffee breath though ??

THANKS!

O, and that person who wanted to reduce his header image height? Install a child theme and edit the functions in there, will give the same result?

Sorry if you start to feel like a encyclopedia now… ?? But I really like to learn.

Hi Rev. Voodoo,

Thanks so much, that solved the bold and size!

And about the child theme, (although a different subject, so sorry) am I mistaken when I think I copy the content of all the .php and .css files I changed in Twenty Ten to my computer, install a child theme, paste the changed files content over the corresponding files in the child theme, save and problem solved?
Or is there more to it?

Thanks so much!

Well, thanks Rev. Voodoo for the child themes tip, that’s very usefull. I’ll install one soon.

But I’m still not able to just get my page titles smaller and bold. Not with
.page-title, .page, .entry-title or anything else in the stylesheet.

Worked the rest out on my own so it’s very frustrating I don’t seem able to change something simple as a titel from normal to bold…

Hi Bovic,

Here’s who to adjust the height of your hearder image in Twenty Ten:
(I’ve just done it for my own site: https://www.versa-teksten.nl I reduced it to 4px! So It’s the line above my menu now.)

Go to appearence/editor/theme functions (that is functions php).

About a quarter into that file you’ll read:

// 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’, 198 ) );

If you change those numbers (940 for width and 198 for height) you can costumise your header image Mine is now 840×4. And this will change the numbers in the header upload page as well!

Good luck with it!
