child theme messing up the layout

[Lukas]

Hi again,

I finally decided to create a child theme but something doesn’t work right. I found out on the forum that:

wp_enqueue_style( ‘asteria-style’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’);

In fact, you should probably do it like this;

wp_enqueue_style( ‘asteria-style’, get_stylesheet_uri() );

Before changing the code to the one above (in function.php parent theme) nothing was going on at all but now my frontpage isn’t working. I have 2 sliders, posts are displayed vertically. It’s a big mess.
Somehow though, I can see that the slider dots disappeared so something is working.

/*
Theme Name: Asteria-Lite Child
Theme URI: http://www.towfiqi.com/asteria-lite-free-wordpress-theme.html
Description: Asteria-Lite Child Theme
Template: Asteria-Lite
Text Domain: asteria-lite child theme
*/

@import url(“../asteria-lite/style.css”);

/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */

.nivo-controlNav{display:none!important;}

I also want to change part of php (layout1.php) but I’m confused how to do it properly. Do I just need to put layout1.php with the changed code in the child’s theme directory?
Do I need to copy the function.php to child theme? (I did it already just to try and I couldn’t even login to my site so I deleted it).

I’m still working locally so I can’t send you the link…

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

replace this:|

Template: Asteria-Lite

with this:

Template: asteria-lite

Replacing the template from Asteria-lite to asteria-lite didn’t work out. The frontpage still looks messy. I have 2 vertical menus, 2 sliders and posts are displayed vertically.
But as I said before:
.nivo-controlNav{display:none!important;} must be working as 3 dots on a slider disappear after adding this line.
May it be that there is something wrong with the function.php code?

whats your site address?

[Lukas]

Can you take a look at my site-lukaszsaczek.com. I still haven’t sorted out the child theme problem… As I said before I changed:

wp_enqueue_style( ‘asteria-style’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’);
to
wp_enqueue_style( ‘asteria-style’, get_stylesheet_uri() );

which messes up the layout but somehow:
.nivo-controlNav{display:none!important;} removes the 3 green dots from the slider.

Thanks

[Towfiq I.]

sorry my bad.. I just found out you are using the child theme. How did you save the child stylesheet? its adding weird characters all over the file:

Any thoughts about my child theme? Shall I mess up with the function.php file and change:

get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’)
to
get_stylesheet_uri() )

Anyways, without changing function.php file no css is loaded but with changing the function.php I think I see some changes (slider dots disappeared) but the whole page layout is messed up…

can you switch to child theme and let me know?

[Lukas]

Hi, now I switched to child theme. I’ve upgraded your theme today and quickly realised how important is a child theme as I lost my work and had to start over:)
I read that the upgraded theme has a logo option-“allows you to design your site logo”? Or did you mean designing a logo-text with fonts (not really an image)?
Thanks again for your time.

[Towfiq I.]

yes you can add image logo in the PRO version.
