Volume Demo Site and Child Theme
6 replies · Started by Alex on January 26, 2020
David,
I love your demo site Volume. Will you elaborate on your suggestion to move the Additional CSS to a child theme? Is this move for ease of editing? Is there a potential problem with leaving it in Additional CSS? I am fairly new to the WordPress environment and would appreciate your guidance. Thanks.
"As a note, most of the Sites use Custom CSS, this is added to Customizer > Additional CSS. Some sites have a lot more then others, mine in particular. Volume and Dispatch have 400 lines, which i suggest may be nicer if it was moved to a child theme but not necessary."
Hi Alex,
There shouldn't be any issues if you just leave the CSS in Additional CSS.
It's just good practice to use a child theme when you have lots of custom CSS, but 400 lines isn't really that bad so it's totally up to you.
If you want to go ahead with a child theme, then download one from here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/#installing-a-child-theme
Then copy everything from Additional CSS to the child theme's style.css file.
Let me know if this helps :)
Leo,
Thanks for your help.
I have another question regarding the Volume site template. I created a new header element based on the pages header element. I duplicated all the element settings exactly and included the required html.
{{post_title}}
</h1>
However, the post_title is still overlapping the site title. What am I missing? I would appreciate help. Thanks.
Oops! Here is the code I was referring to.
<div class="inside-header">
<h1>
{{post_title}}
</h1>
</div>Can you open a new topic for the separate question?
From my experience, the best way for users to learn and us to track the issues is one question per topic.
Thanks :)
Leo,
I opened the new topic. Thanks.
Thanks :)
