Hi there, I would like to create a child theme for my site using Geocraft V2. Are you able to provide me with the script. I have tried following from the video with no success. I created a .css file in notepad with the following /* Theme Name: geocraft-v2-Child-Theme Theme URI: http://www.girlzinbiz.com/ Description: Child theme for geocraft theme Author: GirlsInBiz Author URI: http://www.girlzinbiz.com/ Template: geocrafttheme-v2 Version: 2.0.8 */ @import url('../geocrafttheme-v2/style.css'); I have tried to upload via FTP but with no luck. This is the message I am getting. As I am not very conversant with coding, would it be better for me to upload a plugin such as one-click child theme instead? 1. Are there any benefits to using a plugin vs creating my own CT. 2. Does using a plugin slow the website down Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jo

Hi Priya, It seems I have fixed the site however I cannot change the color of the theme from within the child theme. If your techs could check to see if I have uploaded the style.css and function.php correctly. When I go to change the color of the theme to 'sky blue' it will not change from the green setting. I'm assuming I have missed something.... Many thanks Jo
Hello Jo, You would be glad to know that I have resolved your issue.. Kindly check your site.. Thanks & Regards! Priyanka InkThemes.com
Thank you Priya!!! I really appreciate your kind assistance. Can you please tell me what changes you made. I like to learn and understand how the child theme works and how to make changes. My understanding is if I make any css changes that they should be placed on the style.css sheet for the child theme rather than in the Custom CSS section in the Theme Options. Is this correct? Also is there any css code to change the color of the 'List Your Business' button in the header. I would like to make it a deeper orange color. Once again, many thanks. Warm regards, Jo.
Hello Jo, I just recreated a child theme and uploaded that in your dashboard... And as I have checked your created child theme, style.css was not imported successfully... For your other issue, i.e. is there any CSS code to change the color of the 'List Your Business' button in the header. For this, Please paste the code given below in Custom CSS field (GeoCraft Setting -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard. Code: .header_wrapper .header .post_btn { background: black; border-bottom: 2px solid black; } Change color as per your requirement.. Thanks & Regards! Priyanka InkThemes.com
Many thanks Priya your help is greatly appreciated. Could you tell me please how to: change the font in the List Your Business button to another color and also how to center the button within the header. Cheers, Jo

Code: span.btn_center { color: black; } Change color as per the interest.. 2) also how to center the button within the header. Code is given below.. Code: .header_wrapper .header .post_btn { float: none; } Hope it will resolve your issues.. Do let me know if you need more assistance, Thanks & Regards! Priyanka InkThemes.com
