I have very little experience with WP, but somehow scraped a site at <a href="http://www.raffiworks.com." rel="nofollow">www.raffiworks.com.</a> I loved the Thematic Framework, and used the Thematic Feature Site child theme, realizing that it is a better way to customize my theme rather than messing up with the original file templates. Or so I thought.</p> <p>A week or so ago I upgraded, rather thoughtlessly, to WP 3.0. Although the rest of my content survived intact, the front page defaulted to the TFS front. The problem is I never activated the Feature Site front, as it had a conflict with something else on my site, and was using a front page that implemented the Featured Content Gallery plugin.</p> <p>At this stage I am lost, since I tried redoing my front page template, but no matter what I do, and which template I activate for the front page, I always end up with the nifty Latin text in the front. Any suggestions? </p> <p>I appreciate any help.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Raffi </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/create-own-functionsphp#post-7445 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:12:14 +0000 Chris 7445@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi Ben, hi Gene,</p> <p>will do some tests.</p> <p>Chris </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/create-own-functionsphp#post-7394 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:12:29 +0000 Ben W. 7394@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hey Gene,</p> <p>thanks for an answer, That should do the trick and maintanable in case of an Acamas update.<br /> Might be a feature suggestion for future versions.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>- Ben </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/create-own-functionsphp#post-7389 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:09:08 +0000 em hr 7389@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Ben -</p> <p>You can only have one functions.php per theme. But inside the Acamas functions.php you can <code>include</code> or <code>require</code> another php file. The best place to save your custom functions file ,so that it won't get overwritten or throw an error in wp-admin as a broken theme, would be in the wp-content directory. So you could add this to your Acamas functions.php. </p> <p><code>require_once(STYLESHEETPATH . &#39;../../../lib/my-acamas-functions/my-functions.php&#39;);</code></p> <p>Then make a folder in the wp-content directory named my-acamas-functions and save all your functions to a file named my-functions.php.

It only displays the most recent post, but it posts it an infinite number of times, one after the other. It is also not displaying the 2 sidebars. When I click to a page, nothing shows at all. The individual post pages look good though.</p> <p>All was working find in WP 2.7.</p> <p>My main site is still running 2.7: sustainablepantry.com, and everything looks good there. I compared the 2 index.php files to try and spot differences but they look the same. Has anyone run into this problem or have any ideas on how I can fix this?

I can use a couple of the features in it. But I have a couple of questions:</p> <p>1. I like the color scheme of the original theme and don't really want to change it too much. How much work (for a non-programmer like me) would be to get that color scheme using PowerBlog?</p> <p>2. I wrote a very simple plugin (or, more accurately, copy/pasted the code for a very simple plugin based on your advice) that implements a home page menu item. I seem to recall you warning me at the time that something was going to change in the next version of Thematic that would break the plugin. How hard would it be (again, for a non-programmer) to add a home page to the menu?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>- m </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/copying-imported-css-to-child-vs-overriding-in-stylecss#post-803 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:50:32 +0000 Ian Stewart 803@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>The question is one of simplicity. Myself, I'll ignore the Thematic stylesheets if overriding them starts to get too complex. Here's how I use them:</p> <p>1. To get a quick start on setting a site up by importing them into a child theme stylesheet.</p> <p>2. As a guide so I remember what the heck I'm doing when I want to create something totally new.</p> <p>So feel free to ignore them and not import them. :) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/copying-imported-css-to-child-vs-overriding-in-stylecss#post-741 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:00:54 +0000 BrightBold 741@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>I'm working on my first Thematic child theme (and first WordPress theme) and I'm curious about the best practices for handling changes to the imported stylesheets - typography.css, html-elements.css, etc.</p> <p>At first, I had made copies of all those sheets into my child theme folder, imported them into my styles.css, and was editing them as needed. But then I realized I didn't have the most recent version of Thematic so I updated it. Then I had to do file compares between my child versions of the 0.6.5 files and the new 0.7 files in the Thematic library to see what CSS Ian had changed and whether I wanted to copy any of it into my child versions. That made me wonder if it might not make more sense to only edit styles.css in my child folder and override any parts of typography/html-elements/etc. in that one central location (styles.css)</p> <p>This may be obvious to anyone who's been doing WordPress for a while, but the best practice isn't clear to me. Can those of you who are more experienced advise me on which of those two systems will make maintenance and upgrades easiest in the future? </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Kelley </p>
