TT

same problem here.

It says it is only compatible up to 4.1.6

I’m running 4.2.3. Hopefully they update it, this would be so helpful!

I got it! I’m so smart

var top1 = jQuery(window).scrollTop() ;
if(top1 < 200)
{
	jQuery('html,body').animate({
		scrollTop: jQuery('.content_wrapper').offset().top
	}, 1000);
}

It’s a theme called Oyster that I found on themeforest, maybe I shouldn’t ask for help here on it. It’s okay if I ask general questions though right? They won’t really support me for WordPress questions, just very basic troubleshooting with their theme.

I’ll do a little research and see what I can find out about hooks

Very helpful, and the section about Template Files and the link there to the Template Hierarchy were good reads.

I realize now my problem is that my website wasn’t looking for my .php in the subfolder.

A subsection of the wordpress help page you linked to is called “Referencing / Including Files in Your Child Theme” talks about the “get_stylesheet_directory()”.

I believe this should go into my functions.php file, but for some reason I continue to get the white screen of death every time I put something into my functions.php file. I’m not sure I input the code right

<?php

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/core/registrator/css-js.php' );

?>

I also changed a sprite (.png file), but it pulls up the old one.

Starting to feel a little overwhelmed, maybe this is too technical for me and I should just write down the changes I make to the parent theme.

Andrew, this works great for changing my .css file with the Child Theme.

Is there a specific selector for changing code in .php files? Or would it be a completely different method?

hmmmm, I also tried making the change directly in the main theme css-js.php file and it didn’t change things

success!!!!!!!! Andrew ??

thanks andrew.

I am still struggling to edit my website with the child.

I found a piece of code I want to tweak, it is in a subfolder of the original theme in a file called “theme.css”

It’s buried way down on line 1523, I want to change the highlighted numbers here:
https://postimg.org/image/l656id0fr/

I tried pasting this code in my style sheet like this, but it didn’t change anything:

/*
 Theme Name:   Oyster Child
 Theme URI:    https://w-ard.com/wp-content/themes/gt3-wp-oyster-child/
 Description:  Oyster Child Theme
 Author:       wallace
 Author URI:   https://w-ard.com
 Template:     gt3-wp-oyster
 Version:      2.6
 Tags:         light, responsive-layout
 Text Domain:  gt3-wp-oyster-child
*/

.logo_sect {
    padding: 0px 0 6px 29px;
    min-height: 25px;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;
}

I also tried making a copy of the theme.css in the same folder structure in the child folders, and tweak the code there, but delete the rest out because I didn’t want to overwrite it, but this didn’t work.

/*-------------------------------------
[Master Stylesheet]
Project:		Oyster Child WordPress Theme
Version: 		1.0 (build 7d95248)
---------------------------------------*/

.logo_sect {
    padding: 0px 0 6px 29px;
    min-height: 25px;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;

My last effort was to copy the theme.css in to the child folder and keep it intact but just change that line, but that didn’t work either.

thanks for all your help questas, I’m looking into your links now

seems like updating my functions file gives me a white screen of death again for some annoying reason

<?php

.body {
text: black;
}

?>

Not a big deal though because what I want to do is change things in my theme and not add functions.

thanks again questas! It works fine with the code like you posted. Should I be concerned whether or not I am “enqueue(ing) the parent and child theme stylesheets”

The website seems to work without the functions.php file

As for the tweaks I want to do, are you saying I should copy the bit of code I want to change from, for example, “theme.css” file and put that into the child’s “style.css”? And if that doesn’t work, then I should copy the theme.css file to the child folder, and tweak the bit of code, but keep the rest of the file intact?

Hi questas. Do you mean like this? It didn’t work for me

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri(https://w-ard.com/wp-content/themes/gt3-wp-oyster/) . '/style.css' );

?>

I did not copy the style sheet, I have set that up fine using the header method described in the wordpress link I had in the original post. My question is about how to make modifications moving forward. There are the 5 subfolders I mentioned and 40+ .php and .css files. Do I make a copy of the particular file I want to edit, make the change, and delete the rest of the code in that file so that it does not override things I don’t modify? Or do I add the modified code into the child style.css instead?
