I’m sorry but this does work so I am still unsure that you are putting things in the right place and selecting the right theme in the forum admin.

Can you walk me through (a) what theme is selected in the forum admin > themes – and where you have put things you have changed – files and folders that is – not the code changes.

OK.  Here’s what I did just now.

Copied the reboot.php file in the style folder 

added the code I posted 

edited the sptheme.txt like Ike said in the reboot-child folder

added the copy of reboot.php in the style folder on the child theme

the reboot.child theme is selected as I have already made some other changes, which I still need help with as stated in this thread: color of the thanks showing up as white 

Hey Alex,

Just going back for a second to the thanks showing up with white text, can you just confirm firstly where you are putting the thanks stats, what overlay you are using, and just so we know have you updated to Reboot v1.0.1?

I’ve just tried this locally, using the ‘light-blue’ and the ‘blue’ overlay, putting it under the avatar where we did in the last thread, and the text shows up black no problem..

I know that thanks showing up white is something I did.  I copied the orange overlay and I changed it to the blue color in the orange areas.  I just checked by changing the overlay to the stock Blue and the thanks shows up as black, the signatures also show up when I do this.  I’m not sure how I should fix this with my “custom” overlay?

It depends where your custom overlay comes from.

I’m guessing the orange overlay was copied from the first version of Reboot which would tie in with the thanks and signature text colour problem. If so you will either need to start over or use an editor to compare for differences. If your going to compare then you should be looking for variables that are different / need removing / need adding / need their rule updating.

It would be worth looking at the latest theme update changelog which details the changes you need to make to bring your custom theme up to current version spec.

Usually you shouldn’t need to do that with a child theme, but in this case with Reboot being so new unfortunately these changes were essential.

Is everything else up to date?

You are correct, I totally forgot that the overlay is the last version and that’s where the issues are.  I guess i’ll copy the new orange one and go back and change the colors.  Everything is up to date.  

Let us know how you get on, and then we can tackle the child theme templates.
