Hey guys,

I’m following this thread in order to create a child theme and remove the H1 from my logo. I’m totally new to WordPress but so far so good, I’ve just setup and activated my child theme. The next step you listed says:

“Then navigate to your child theme’s /framework/views/global directory create a file named _brand.php”

I have no idea what you mean by go to the child theme’s /framework/views/global directory. How do I get there? Sorry for such a basic question, just trying to understand how all this stuff works.

Thanks!

And in addition, how do I create a new php file for _brand.php?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in.

Child theme is a replicate of your parent theme for you to customize the theme without breaking the theme.Child theme is view or loaded first before the parent theme. If there is no child theme, it will load the parent theme.

You could follow this step below.

1. Navigate \framework\views\global\_brand.php in your parent theme using your FTP.
2. Copy the _brand.php
3. Create a folder in your child theme just like in your parent theme \framework\views\global\.
4. Add the parent _brand.php in the directory that you have created in your child theme.
5. Edit the _brand.php in the child theme so that you could remove now H1 from the logo or customize the _brand.php

You could check this link for full details on how to setup child theme.

Hey Staff,

Thanks for the reply. Everything seems to make sense, the only thing I’m not understanding is using my FTP. How do I get to my FTP? Is it on my WordPress Admin page somewhere, or do I go to my hosting provider cPanel? I’m sure this is a total noob question, I’m sorry! I just don’t know how to get to the FTP or use it.

Thanks in advance for helping me out!!

Hi there,

Yes, you can also use your cPanel’s file manager instead of FTP.

Or, you’ll need to create FTP account under your cPanel and use any FTP Client software. Each FTP Client has their own standard and documentation. Please check their site if you wish to learn more about their FTP software.

Thanks.

Hi There,

It seems you already got it right. The H1 tag that is on top of the x-brand is already gone.

Cheers!

That’s interesting, because when I right click my home page to view the page source, it still shows up as “h1 visually-hidden.”

Any idea why that might be happening?

Thanks!
