Hello!
I have a child theme with a modified index.php. Just before the beginning of #container, I check is_home() and output a large image if that is indeed the case. The bit works fine locally, and even appears correctly when previewing the theme. However, when the theme is actually activated, the custom index.php is not detected. In fact, changing the thematic/index.php also does nothing. I suspect permissions problems--could anyone help me narrow this down?
