Re: Do you offer Paid Customizations / Freelance Work ?

Hi Sakin,

Thank you for your reply. It does make things clearer.

You have been wonderful in answering mine, and other people’s questions, and I understand that all of this takes quite a bit of your time.

Do you, or your associates, also offer some free-lance work, for more extensive custom development of your themes ?
In this case – the Adventurous Pro.

Please let me know.
You can also contact me directly,
at the email address you have, connected with my account.

Best Regards,

Hi Sakin,

I had to put my website project aside for a while, and now I’m getting back into it.
Currently, it’s only on a local machine, though, using WAMP.

I have a few questions, regarding the child theme, for Adventurous Pro.
I noticed that some css rules that work well, when entered in the Theme Options / Custom CSS box, don’t work when applied in the Child theme’s ‘style.css’.
Most seem to work fine, but some don’t. Adding !important to the styles did fix some, but I’m not even sure if there are some other rules that are still not working.

Does this have to do with the way the styles for the Parent and the Child theme are enqueued?

I need to create some extensive changes in the look of my site, so using the Theme Options Custom CSS box is rather cumbersome, I’d much rather use a code editor to test the changes, on my child theme’s ‘style.css’.

Also, the difference in the results, when the CSS is entered from these 2 locations, is making me feel as if some things are happening with the theme, that I don’t really understand.
In other words, I’d like to know if there are some other things I should know about the way the Adventurous Pro is set up, and how it interacts with a Child Theme.

Can you please offer some advice ?

Best Regards,

Y.M.

Hi Sakin,

I take my last comment back.

The Child theme CSS in Adventurous Pro works just fine, I just had some tags missing.
The workflow for changing the CSS from Chrome Dev Tools works fine, which
is quite a relief.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Where do I give you guys 5 stars ?

Hi Sakin,

I tried adding the code you suggested, to the child theme css.

It did change the sidebar size, but it also affected the pages
that were supposed to be full-width, and made the content area
the same width as if the sidebar was there.

In other words, the full-width option was also affected for the
whole site, and was effectively gone.

I’ll go back to the code in the parent Theme’s Options CSS, as per
your first suggestion.

It seems that Adventurous Pro theme doesn’t agree well with the
Child theme style.css , in general.

I started styling the top navigation, by using Chrome’s Developer Tools,
and I noticed that the css rules I apply successfully in the Chrome Dev tools,
on the frontend, do not work when I just place the same rules inside the Child theme CSS.

I guess this has to do with the enqueue set up.

Can you enlighten us on this 🙂 ?

Hi Sakin,

That did the trick.
I just added ‘functions.php’ to my child theme and replaced the ‘post’ with the
slug of my custom post type.
The ‘Adventurous Options’ now shows up in the admin area of my Custom Post Type that I activated in the functions.php.
Tried altering the layout of several entries, and it seems to work fine.
So far so good… 🙂

Thank you very much.

I guess I can call myself a budding junior developer !! 😉

By the way, the code you posted worked great in the ‘Custom CSS ‘ box, but when I tried adding the same snippet to the ‘style.css’, in the Adventurous Pro child theme, it didn’t produce the same result.
It shrunk the sidebar, but the content area didn’t respond the same way.
As I changed the width of my browser, the content area mostly stayed the original size, which produced a wide gap between the content and the sidebar.

Puzzling …

Sakin,
Thank you !
That worked like a charm 🙂
