I'm just trying to eliminate all child theme files except for style.css and functions.php, and the page-titling automation this snippet provides is the only thing keeping me from doing that.

Are you using a Thematic Child Theme? It would take some serious butchering to work this into a child theme considering all the relevant information for titles is handled in the extensions file. :/ There is something else going on here, more to fix than just converting this to a functions.php snippet.

This means the webpage hasn't even started yet when your code is executed. But there really is no need for you to modify header.php, you can add code to <head> with a hook instead. And in your case, thematic is already adding similar meta robots rules. If you want to change them, you can filter thematic_create_robots. <pre><code>function childtheme_create_robots($content) { global $paged; $content = "\t"; if(is_home() && (!$paged || $paged == 1) || is_single()) { $content .= "<meta name="googlebot" content="index,archive,follow,noodp" />"; $content .= "<meta name="robots" content="all,index,follow" />"; $content .= "<meta name="msnbot" content="all,index,follow" />"; } else { $content .= "<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,noarchive,follow,noodp" />"; $content .= "<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />"; $content .= "<meta name="msnbot" content="noindex,follow" />"; } $content .= "\n\n"; return $content; } add_filter('thematic_create_robots','childtheme_create_robots');</code></pre> Put this code in your functions.php. It is best to leave header.php alone. soren on "Left margin dropped in IE when modify Header.php" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/left-margin-dropped-in-ie-when-modify-headerphp#post-20463 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 21:41:14 +0000 soren 20463@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ @helgatheviking The only thing I added was this <pre><code><?php if(is_home() && (!$paged || $paged == 1) || is_single()) { ?> <meta name="googlebot" content="index,archive,follow,noodp" /> <meta name="robots" content="all,index,follow" /> <meta name="msnbot" content="all,index,follow" /> <?php } else {?> <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,noarchive,follow,noodp" /> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" /> <meta name="msnbot" content="noindex,follow" /> <?php } ?></code></pre> When I remove this lines from the Header.php...

Look in the thematic theme directory and you'll see a header.php file open and you'll see a block of php right before the closing of the head. <pre><code><?php thematic_doctitle(); thematic_create_contenttype(); thematic_show_description(); thematic_show_robots(); thematic_canonical_url(); thematic_create_stylesheet(); thematic_show_rss(); thematic_show_commentsrss(); thematic_show_pingback(); thematic_show_commentreply(); wp_head(); ?> </head></code></pre> Thats where you're probably looking to find links to the javascripts. The function that you need to filter <code>thematic_head_scripts()</code> is not listed there but it hooks in to <code>wp_head()</code> so that is how it's called. <code>thematic_head_scripts()</code> is the function that you want to filter if you want to remove the included scripts for the navigation namely... hoverintent.js , superfish.js and supersubs.js and possibly add your own. Look here to find this function: thematic/library/extentions/header-extentions.php Thats the path to getting pointed in the right direction alt least. amygail on "Change Nav Menu" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/change-nav-menu#post-6051 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:33:17 +0000 amygail 6051@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I don't know what P7 uberlink script or P7 PopMenuMagic script is so it's hard to be of much help.

Move this one to /wp-content/themes and rename it .. Maybe you should re-install Thematic. And now all changes can be done in the child theme's directory. Edit your child theme's functions.php and add: <pre><code>function my_script() {?> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourdomain.com/wherever/yourscript.js"></script> <?php } add_action('wp_head', 'my_script',9);</code></pre> Cheers, Chris manlikemalcolm on "Disapperaing Theme + Thickbox?" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/disapperaing-theme-thickbox#post-3526 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:17:35 +0000 manlikemalcolm 3526@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ A couple of questions here: I added the thickbox.js file to libraby > scripts.
