Shockproof

OK to update it seems that I have an ‘if’ statement on both page.php and single.php as below

if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
endif;

instead of

<?php comments_template(); ?>

Even if I replace the ‘if’ statement with <?php comments_template(); ?> it still doesn’t show comments??

Any clearer?

Hi Jesin

OK I think I have got it sorted now. Thank you for the help. I have setup the child theme and although I had to re do the sidebar widgets everything seems to be working OK.

cheers

Hi Jesin

I have decided to go down a different root for now. I am going to use the existing ‘single template and recode it.

Thanks for the help…appreciated!

Hi Jeslin

This doesn’t seem to work. I have read about Child Themes and you have to activate them in Appearance>>Themes. When I go there it tells me my child theme is broken and needs a stylesheet! Do I import the main theme stylesheet?

OK I have worked some of it out. The Constructor theme is slightly different. The template pulls layouts from the ‘/layouts‘ folder. So I have copied ‘page.php‘ in the root and called it cover.php…it looks like this…

<?php
/**
Template name: Cover
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Constructor
 */
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );

// load header.php
get_header('cover');

// load one of layout pages (layouts/*.php) based on settings
get_constructor_layout('cover');

// load footer.php
get_footer();

I have copied header.php and called it header-cover.php and it is working fine. I then copied layouts/page.php and renamed it page-cover.php but it does not pull the layout into the template!! I have also tried naming the layout file just cover.php…still no luck. Any ideas…very frustrating!

Hi Jesin

Thanks for reply.

I am developing it locally but here is a screenshot…https://shockproof.bpweb.net/test/screen-shot.jpg. I simply copied the page.php, renamed it to bcgc_home.php…added ‘/*
Template name: BCGC Home */’ at the top. The page code is below…

Thanks for looking

<?php
/*
Template name: BCGC Home
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage constructor
 */
__('BCGC Home', 'constructor'); // required for correct translation
?>
<div id="content" class="box shadow opacity <?php the_constructor_layout_class() ?>">
    <div id="container">
    <?php get_constructor_slideshow(true) ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); global $post; ?>
            <article <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>">
                <header class="opacity box">
                    <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                </header>
                <div class="entry">
                    <?php the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;', 'constructor')) ?>
				    <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p class="pages"><strong>'.__('Pages', 'constructor').':</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
                </div>
                <footer>
                    <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit', 'constructor'), '', ' | '); ?>
                    <?php if ($post->post_parent) : $parent_link = get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>
                    <a href="<?php echo $parent_link; ?>"><?php _e('Back to Parent Page', 'constructor');?></a> |
                    <?php endif; ?>
                    <?php if (get_constructor_option('content', 'date')) { the_date(); echo ' | '; } ?>
                    <?php if (get_constructor_option('content', 'links', 'comments')) {
                        comments_popup_link(
                            __('No Comments »', 'constructor'),
                            __('1 Comment »', 'constructor'),
                            __('% Comments »', 'constructor'),
                            'comments-link',
                            __('Comments Closed', 'constructor')
                        );
                    } ?>
                </footer>
            </article>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
