I know what it is, but i don’t know how to use it. I’ve installed it, and used Firefox’s web developer inspect option. Inspect shows div#main but that doesn’t appear in Firebug

Firebug is all well and good, but i’m not sure what i’m looking for. Is it not just an area in the style.css file i can amend?

So if i make a child theme using the style.css of my edits, any updates to the parent theme will not affect the site? How do i select the child theme for the site, does it appear in my themes list separately?

And do you have any advice on my original queries for when i get the child theme going?

Ok, so is this true of all themes? i use itheme2 on another site and have modified that quite heavily.

I’ve already modified the theme… only a bit, pretty much just the html colour in the menu actually i think. What’s bad about editing it?

Sorry Esmi, put the wrong link in – the company owner made a site through his domain, then we decided to use WP. I’ve changed the link now to take you to the correct place

Yes, elitist attitude. Why? Because it took numerous replies for you to actually tell me what the problem was beyond “they do bad things” – which isn’t exactly the most helpful way of telling someone the problem, rather it smacks of “ha, like i’d lower myself to that“.

As i said in my previous post, i’ve since looked at the code and seen the problem, but before i move onto another theme i’d like to know if i can get help in changing some of the aesthetics to look like my current theme.

Ok i’ve had a look, you mean this?

All links in the footer should remain intact.

fair enough, had i known that i wouldn’t have used the theme.
So my next question is, if i find a similar theme that’s GPL compliant, will people be able to assist me in getting certain aesthetics from this theme to the new one?

You’re absolutely right, i have no idea, i’m new to WP and i assumed a theme was a theme. What isn’t helping is this elitist attitude of “oh no they’re bad, but we’re not going to tell you why”.
What exactly is the code doing?

Ok, if you’re trying to help me (and i’m a fan of open-source, i don’t need an intervention), perhaps you could actually tell me what the Very Bad Things are that the theme creator does?

I have to be honest, i don’t really understand. We’re all WordPress users, i’ve found a theme i really like, but because it isn’t GPL i’m going to be shunned by the community even though i need help tweaking it? I’ve spent a lot of time so far getting it how i like it, and the only way to get help is to start from scratch again? Doesn’t seem very community-like to me

Oh sorry i had no idea. Does that mean i should stop using the theme, or do i go elsewhere for support?
