TDH Thanks a million !!! I think i got mixed up, i did follow the links form the book which was http://notesblog.com, page 69. And I was trying to look for the public beta ! Thanks to you, I found it. Btw, great job on the book, looking forward to complete it.

You’re using the wrong theme. The Core theme was used in the first edition of the book, but the second edition uses the Notes Blog theme. Follow the links in the book, or just download the beta version from here: http://notesblog.com/2011/notes-blog-public-beta/

Hi Community,

I just got the smashing wordpress book, im just wondering that if the theme showing in the book is slightly different. there was a part at page 75 where they used get_template_part to retrieve the loop, but the most current theme file I got actually has the entire loop in index.php

Can anyone explain why is this so ? Thanks, All help is appreciated !!

I haven’t had that issue, what page are you on where this doesn’t work? Are you sure you should be doing this in a child theme?

I’ll look into that. I remember that I was suppose to add the header tag as part of the “Smashing WordPress” lesson. (The theme’s author has a book out.) Lot’s of holes in his book, which has been frustrating. Anyway, I’ll poke around some more.

Not sure exactly what you should do, but I think the problem is that there is a site header in the theme, and you’re trying to add another one. Maybe this can help?

Thanks for the quick reply, Martin. I’m new to WP. When you say “unregister the site header,” how would I do that?

You can but you need to unregister the site header in your child theme from the template theme if you want to change it. Looks like that’s what you’re doing.
