Hi there, I’m trying to implement the cn-custom.css within my child theme. Considering the three options you give in your quick tip article:

(1) ../wp-content/theme/{child-theme}/connections-templates/
(2) ../wp-content/theme/{parent-theme}/connections-templates/
(3) ../wp-content/uploads/connections-templates/

I’ve got it working for option (3) but cannot get it to work for option (1) and I’m not interested in option (2). I want it to work for child themes.

I’m using WP Multisite (CN_MULTISITE_ENABLED to FALSE), Woothemes Canvas as my template and everything is up to date.

I’ve attached a couple of screenshots.

Sorry, I made an edit and it looked like the files had been deleted. So I updated them again and then got confused!! There are only two files one showing it WORKING and the other NOT WORKING…probably confused YOU now. :-)

@ Steve

*I think* I just fixed a bug last night that would cause this issue … I’ll be pushing 0.8.11 out later today.

The issue I fixed last night is that the path to child theme would be overwritten by the other paths instead of the other paths being appended to the child theme path. The net result is that the child theme path would never be searched.

On the other hand, I’ve not tested with multisite, so, that could be the issue. You could test multisite compatibility by moving the custom CSS files to the parent theme, if they load, then I know my fix will work with multisite child themes too. I’ll hold off on the release until later today, so hopefully I’ll hear back confirming one way or another.

I just moved the folder to the template parent folder and it worked. Move it back to child theme and it doesn’t work. Sounds like you’ve cracked it. Steve.

@ Steve

Fantastic! I’m going to begin work on buttoning up 0.8.11 and push it out.

@ Steve

I pushed out this update yesterday … you should see it as an available update in your WP admin.

Thanks Steve, appears to be all working with templates within the child theme. Regards, Steve.

Hi Steve, I appear to have the same problem with template css files…

I created a css file for the market template as follows:

theme/child-theme/connections-templates/market/market-custom.css

This doesn’t work, but when I move the connections-templates folder and subfolders into uploads or inside the parent theme folder it works.

Regards
Steve

@ Steve

Just a quick followup… you’re all set now, right? The updates should have resolved these path issues.

[Steve Christian]

Hi Steve, thanks for following up. Yes all working fine. I’ve got a question about market template, but I’ll raise another topic. This can be closed. Thanks, Steve.
