Hi

I just downloaded your latest version of VW Hospital Theme but when i went to install the Zip file (vw-hospital-pro-plugin_1.0.zip) I got the following message “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” – Can you please advise?

Hi
I needed to create a couple of additional sidebar layouts with their own menu structures.

I created the sidebar.php files in the child directory and thought I could then register them through the child theme directory functions.php file but this did not work and the theme ignored my additional sidebars until I edited the main functions.php file and registered them there.

This is how I edited the functions.php file:-
Original entry
_________________________________________________________________
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Page Sidebar’, ‘vw-hospital’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘Appears on page sidebar’, ‘vw-hospital’ ),
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-2’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<aside id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</aside>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
) );

I then added my additional sidebar array:- (which works ok)
register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Hearing Sidebar’, ‘vw-hospital_child’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘Appears on hearing sidebar’, ‘vw-hospital_child’ ),
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-3’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<aside id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</aside>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3 class=”widget-title”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
) );

This works, but only if I register the array in the functions.php file in the main theme directory and not the functions.php in the child directory. I know it’s not a good idea to change the main theme directory files so is there a better way of doing this?

Hi

I already use Slider Revolution for my sliders as it gives me the ability to add other detail to my images, is there a recommended way of using this plugin with the VW Hospital Theme instead of the inbuilt one?

Hi Keymaster

That solved the problem perfectly, added to child theme style.css and I can now add another menu item, thank you for your assistance. Brilliant theme layout by the way.

Thanks
