Hi,
Yes, sorry I should have clarified that I have edited the bit with the parent’s stylesheet too.

I will give that a try and see if it works.

Thanks for your help.

I have edited it and customised it to the platform theme. I was just copying and pasting that bit so you guys knew that I had put this bit before on the CSS child theme template.

When you add the bits that you want to change do you still ensure that the whole of the CSS stylesheet is pasted afterwards or is there some sort of command that I should be using that just edits the bits I need? Do you see what I mean? Do I put the whole CSS stylesheet in or just the bits that I need to change with the relevant alterations?

Hi thanks for these…I’ve seen those and followed the instructions and ensured that I have this before I make the changes, amended with what is relevant to me (including ensuring that the template bit is case sensitive):

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Ten Child
Theme URI: http: //example.com/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http: //example.com/about/
Template: twentyten
Version: 0.1.0
*/

But one thing I don’t get is if after this you’re meant to enter the whole of the CSS file with your changes and add directly after the code abover:

@import url(“../twentyten/style.css”);

Or if you’re meant to just pick up the bits that you want to change? (Sorry, I’m not aware of the technical terminology).

Because I have been putting the whole CSS sheet with whatever I want edited inside…is this where I am going wrong?

Thanks again for answering so quickly.

Hi,
I’m really sorry to piggy back on this post but it was the only one that I could find with people dealing with fasthosts and wordpress…I have a really basic question that I was hoping that you could answer. I’m a complete newbie so you may have to forgive my stupidity…

Basically, I’ve been trying to edit the platform theme by creating a child theme. So I have found the style sheet through my fasthosts FTP files, downloaded it, edited it and then uploaded it in the themes section (not in the platform theme bit) but for love nor money it doesn’t actually edit my website.

Please help me! I’m on a bit of a deadline and I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

Many thanks in advance,

Sara

Hi sorry to as stupid questions but I don’t see anything in the header.php file that would indicate making it bigger…am I doing something really wrong? Here is the file below.
