Hi
I cleared google caching yesterday when I had difficulty making the site live through my Hosts FTP manager.

Is there another cache I need to look at and how would I get there?

Hi Andrew

The problem is that I cant activate the child theme from the dashboard, its not visible to be selected.

Edit NVM ??

I created a new text file, but copy and pasted the info from the codex and then edited it.

Which I thought would be ok in a text editor?? I am v new to this

No I hadn’t… I have now

/*
Theme Name: spun child
Theme URI: https://example.com/
Description: Child theme for spun theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: https://example.com/about/
Template: spun
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../spun/style.css”);

still not working

Hi
It was spun-child which meant it appeared higher up than spun.
I have changed the name to spunchild and refreshed and it now appears under spun
also added the closing quotation mark (“../spun/style.css”);

Still cant see it in Appearance, themes. Im assuming it will come up with the other templates Twnety Twelve, Twenty Eleven etc.

/*
Theme Name: spun child
Theme URI: https://example.com/
Description: Child theme for spun theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: https://example.com/about/
Template: spun
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url (“../spun/style.css);

Thanks again
I’ll take a look at the widgets link.

Re the contact page, I’ve gone to Appearance, Editor and am on the “edit themes” page with templates on the left hand side.
I can’t see a template for Contact or Find us tenmplate.

Thanks Esmi
Found the featured picture and insert in post options.

Another question or two…

The widgets – can they be different on each page?

I the para of the Twenty Eleven description below detailed anywhere?

…and a custom “Ephemera” widget to display your Aside, Link, Quote, or Status posts. Included are styles for print and for the admin editor, support for featured images (as custom header images on posts and pages and as large images on featured “sticky” posts), and special styles for six different post formats.

The contact page – I cant edit it, I referred to Small Biz, not the template Im using (but was going to a the start).

thanks

By the way Im reading through WordPress First Steps and trying the link from there as it suggests.

Hi Esmi

When I go to visit my site on the WordPress Dashboard toolbar – I get the message re FTP have I uploaded already, if not build a site using
iWeb, Dreamweaver or Sitebuilder and I cant move beyond.

I want to build the site using the Smallbiz WordPress template.

I cant seem to move between WordPress, Fasthosts and the FTP “requirement” easily

OK – I think Im getting there

…/wp-admin (not underscore)

Have now got through to the WordPress dashboard.
Im taking it I can choose the theme from here, create the pages including using pictures on my PC hard drive? or do I still need to upload them to the HTdocs file?.
Then go into Fasthosts dashboard and rename the index@html page to my domainname page and what I have created will appear live.

salixpeopleandprocess.com

Ive just spoken with Fasthosts and they have set up the FTP access.

I am told I need to go into WordPress url

salixpeopleandprocess.com/wp_admin

from here I can see the WordPress dashboard and will be able to choose a template and work on the site. When I am ready to go live I need to rename the FTP index@html to salixpeopleandprocess.com (not sure where I will access index@html … but nowhere near that stage yet.

I have a WordPress dashboard requiring a username and password to log in to

When I set the database on Fasthosts a site URL was created…my domain name.
also the log in URL for wordpress which was my domain name/wp_admin
