Hello,

I can’t get the homepage to a full width. What could be the problem. i have specified a full-width template for it from the admin backend but i dont seem to get the results. Any assitance.

check out https://junglehoney.co.ke

Apart from footer-widget.php file and the space, there are no changes to be made on footer.php, function.php or the css?

OK. Could you assist with this as well.

Its taking forever to get a reply.

OK. I just realize that it works on Firefox but not on chrome or opera. How do I go about it for these other browsers.

Thanks for the input lllor.

I guess that was a typo error. Does your given css work. I tried it on a child theme but no observable changes.

Thanks. I figured it out.

Thanks for the feedback. I would like to add a fourth footer widget. Initially, I added it but it is hanging below the first footer widget. Is it something to do with the width? Check below files.

When you create a custom links to the social networks and add them to the Social Link Menu the icons will appear somewhere on the footer. First Add a menu under Appearance -> Menu -> Add Menu, then create custom links to for example facebook.com and ADD them to the Social Links Menu or Social Menu. The Icons will appear.

My second question is, i thought the links/icons are also supposed to appear automatically somewhere on the header once you have activated them?

Check the following code for the header

<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) || has_nav_menu( 'social' ) ) : ?>
					<button id="menu-toggle" class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?></button>

					<div id="site-header-menu" class="site-header-menu">
						<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) : ?>
							<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php _e( 'Primary Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?>">
								<?php
									wp_nav_menu( array(
										'theme_location' => 'primary',
										'menu_class'     => 'primary-menu',
									 ) );
								?>
							</nav><!-- .main-navigation -->
						<?php endif; ?>

						<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'social' ) ) : ?>
							<nav id="social-navigation" class="social-navigation" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php _e( 'Social Links Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?>">
								<?php
									wp_nav_menu( array(
										'theme_location' => 'social',
										'menu_class'     => 'social-links-menu',
										'depth'          => 1,
										'link_before'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">',
										'link_after'     => '</span>',
									) );
								?>
							</nav><!-- .social-navigation -->
						<?php endif; ?>

Footer Code

<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) : ?>
				<nav class="main-navigation" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php _e( 'Footer Primary Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?>">
					<?php
						wp_nav_menu( array(
							'theme_location' => 'primary',
							'menu_class'     => 'primary-menu',
						 ) );
					?>
				</nav><!-- .main-navigation -->
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'social' ) ) : ?>

				<nav class="social-navigation" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php _e( 'Footer Social Links Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?>">
					<?php
						wp_nav_menu( array(
							'theme_location' => 'social',
							'menu_class'     => 'social-links-menu',
							'depth'          => 1,
							'link_before'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">',
							'link_after'     => '</span>',
						) );
					?>
				</nav><!-- .social-navigation -->
			<?php endif; ?>

How can i add the social icons somewhere on the header, far right?

Thanks ebhead. I have really waited for some feedback.

Its a whole lot of a process. Let me try out.

Am working on it locally, will put up something for you online.

the parent theme is twenty sixteen. It came with a latest wordpress download, wordpress 4.4

Hello,

the problem is, whenever the child theme is activated, i am unable to go to the admin backend. accessing oigaracommfound.org/wp-admin brings a blank page. the same thing happens when one posts a comment or tries to login to comment.

to go to the admin i have to disable the child theme by changing its name so that it defaults to the default theme. then i can be able to login, activate the mother theme, make changes then revert to the child theme.

that is alot of greek but i ope u understand

Hello,

I appreciate your support, i sorted out few nitty grities.

Is there a way this can be sorted out? Do i have to disable my child theme whenever i want to go to the admin backend.

My users also have a problem trying to register to comment on my blog. When a user clicks on the post comment or Log in the site brings a blank page?? The same thing when i try to go to the admin backend.

Plz follow the link and try post a comment

link oigaracommfound.org

This makes the interaction with the website poor.

Kind regards,

Worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks,

I changed the name of the child theme and voila, i can now log into the dashboard.

I would wish to know the main cause of this. Do i have to do that everytime i want to get to the back end?

KIND REGARDS,
