Check the attachment. Install it. Bender theme should be there.

Theme should be used with bender latest version i.e. 2.0.1 and Osclass latest version 3.4.1

I am able to modify every file using child themes except footer.php
It doesnt change it at all.
I modified header.php, main.php , user-login.php , all working ok. But changes at footer.php does not showing at all.-
Tested on bender.

Not asking for solutions, just want to know  if
Is it me or someone else has this issue?

You are right,

even common/head.php can not be used in child theme.

css/main.css file also not useable from child theme. If put in child theme no style applied from there. All styles come from parent theme css file.

css/ajax-uploader.css file should be in child theme to apply css on uploader.

footer.php was confusing me because it's got the same HTML in it as header.php but does not reflect what's actually in the footer
And thank you axs, i'm not sure what you did differently but it's working now! I sent you a PM.

axs, in order to override the css, you must enqueue it

put this line in your child theme's functions.php file...

Code: [Select]

osc_enqueue_style('main', 'oc-content/themes/benderchildtheme/css/main.css');

Hi,

hope anybody can help me.

I like to crate an child theme. If I use the infos from this thrad, I get a working child theme. But, if i copy the functions.php to the child folder, the page dosn't load anymore, only white page. If i delete the functions.php the child theme is loading fine with one problem, the language files of the parent theme doesn't work. Any Idea?

Thanks and regards

You should create a blank PHP file in the root folder of your child theme called "functions.php".
Only use this file to create new or admended functions. Do not copy all of the functions from your parent theme.
In order to activate my child theme CSS, this is what my functions.php file looks like...

Code: [Select]

<?php
osc_enqueue_style('main', 'oc-content/themes/liberty_child/css/style.css');
?>

hi evilbetty,

thanks for your help, that works good.

But do you have an info, how i can get access to the langueage files? within the parent theme the language shows me correct, but within the child theme, it shows me only the english version.

thanks and regards,

If you're having problems getting your child theme's to override the parent theme, modify the child's main.php file:

USE THIS: <?php include 'footer.php'; ?> 

Instead of this: <?php osc_current_web_theme_path('footer.php') ; ?>

Hello,

I'm having problems on embedding the child theme css.

My functions.php looks like that:

Code: [Select]

<?
function load_scripts() {
     osc_enqueue_style('style', osc_base_url() . 'oc-content/themes/gliderchild/css/style.css');
 }
?>

Do I have to add:

Code: [Select]

osc_add_hook('init', 'load_scripts');

in the child index.php file and should it be in the php tags?

Thank you!
