Hi,

I’ve just created a Child Theme for Catch Box Pro (version 1.2.3.1) so that I can customise the catchbox-posted_on function to not display “by Author” details and link for posts (there’s only 1 author, me, and I don’t want to display my name over and over again).

I followed the instructions for creating a Child Theme and activating it in the admin area. However, as soon as I did this, several Header settings reverted to their defaults and my logo disappeared.

I clicked Customize on the Child Theme, found where I could set the Site Title & Tagline text colours, but there was no Header Image option, only Background Image.

I wondered if there is some other setting I’ve missed in the Child Theme style.css file apart from what I entered from the tutorial (as follows):

/*

Theme Name: Catch Box Pro Child

Theme URI: http://robertfairhead.com/

Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.

Author: Robert Fairhead

Author URI: http://robertfairhead.com/

Template: catch-box-pro

Version: 0.1

*/

@import url(“../catch-box-pro/style.css”);

Regards, Robertf

@Robertf: It looks fine. Can you show me what is wrong in the site.

Hi Sakin,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I created a blank WordPress site (without plug-ins and custom css etc) and recreated the problem and found the solution. In short, I needed to go to the Header option in the Admin page and reload/reset the Custom Header. Once I did this, then the Header Image option reappeared in the Customize Child Theme page.

I’m new to WordPress, having built a few websites in Joomla, so I’m still working out the differences between the 2 CMSes and where and how to set override options, like Child Themes.

Thanks again for your assistance – knowing that it worked for you made me dig further to work out why it wasn’t working for me 😉

Regards,

Robertf
