alexb+ 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Sorry, me again...does anyone know how to change text in the child theme and how I would go about it? For example, in the page below: http://alexbulgo.com/memories-are-made-of-this/ I'd like to change 'LEAVE A REPLY' to 'LEAVE A COMMENT' There are other examples I want to change, but at least if someone could give me some clues it would also help me for the others... Many thanks AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catrina 103 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 First the child theme must be up and running. Do you already have the child theme installed and activated? If not please log into your Launchpad account, download the zip file, unzip, and install the theme on your WordPress. Please read the docs before posting.

alexb+ 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks Catrina - however not entirely sure where in the functions.php file it is meant to be pasted. I tried what was to me the obvious place but alas I now have a syntax error in the file! WHich leads me to a related question - how do I repair the syntax error if I can't access the file from the editor? :( AB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon 248 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 You will need to use FTP, or the editor that comes with your hosts control panel. Always backup your child functions.php before editing it, PHP will give a fatal error for the slightest error, as you have discovered ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexb+ 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks Simon - sorted the backup problem - but the question remains where to put the override and how so as not to break it! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
