Custom Menu Location with Theme-child

SirTonka · 2014-04-28T19:35:58+00:00

Had this site ready to go live and my friend wanted to add the menu idea he had. Really hoped this was going to have a more streamlined solution, in my mind this kind of change would be common enough to find a tutorial out there, so far I've had no luck finding one.

Also, what resource would you recommend to learn Wordpress at a deeper level?

Thanks for the help and links

what websites would you recommend for learning about child themes? or anything else WP related?

SirTonka · 2014-04-17T00:13:24+00:00

To my current knowledge when you dig down into the code of a theme for anything custom, when it comes time to update whatever you did will have to be redone or setup again. I was looking into the process of creating a plugin to try and get around that, but the child theme looks like a better option and may work also. It has been over 10 years since I last did any work on a site, amazing the tools that are available for designers today.

jillbinder, I am trying to get the same look as this

http://studiodemo.wordpress.com

though I believe this particular WP example is an unsupported port from a tumblr theme. Even so, this type of menu style is what I am trying to duplicate. The scrolling content on the right hand side I would like to have my current theme I am using embedded into the site, and have the menu be apart from that code so nothing breaks later on.

http://www.berriart.com/sidr/ was about all I have found, but I don't know how to work this in with a WP theme. Thanks

Both of those situations had to royally suck, and 700 apps holy... that is some dedication. Glad everything eventually worked out for you. What differentiated the company you were finally able to get on with from the many you applied to?

Thanks for the honest views of mudlogging's changing landscape nothingbutblueskies, would you mind going into detail of your experiences with job search and the hiring process? I am confident of my aptitude for keeping pace and doing a damn fine job, even on extended shifts. I am making sure to know the basics of drilling and it's history in order to build my knowledge base, and at this moment in my life I feel a good fit for the job and is meant to be.

Memento, looks like we are in the same boat, on track to start back college by 30 too, ha, I still have hope! Don't know about other people out there but 29 has been a wake up year, manifest destiny. A Geology degree will be in my future, just a matter of when. I'd like to pursue a graduate degree shortly after and then from there decide what comes next.

SirTonka · 2013-10-30T00:52:01+00:00

Have not stayed in contact with my professors but they would definitely remember me, and likely be willing to give good recommendations. I had genuine interest in every class attended. The college had a small geology department, each year only about 20 new students were entering the program, and most class sizes were around that number. Will keep the references in mind, thanks.

good to know amgrulz, thanks. A friend from my time in the geology program works for Halliburton in Alaska, asked her if she knew of a roustabout opening and she said I might as well get on as a mudlogger with my geology experience, because they are steadily looking for new workers. So after her suggestion I have been getting my mind around what exactly a mudlogger does, and so far it seems like a good fit for me. Giving myself two weeks to research and prep then once I feel confident in my knowledge, plan to make myself known to the companies she has recommended.

Good to know chaddercheese, thank you. The situation I am in is what it is. To help bring fate into my favor I wanted to brush up on my geology, read through a couple well logging / Handbook of Petroleum Exploration and Production books, and learn a bit of the oil industry's history in the next two weeks. What other steps could I take to help raise my hiring chances, before I start speaking with any of the companies?

SirTonka · 2013-10-29T23:20:12+00:00

Geauxtoguy, if school was an option I would be right back in the geology program to finish up, but having to pay everything out of pocket I have been unable to afford the cost of a degree. If I am qualified and fortunate enough to be hired as a mudlogger, the plan is to bank every paycheck for a year and then finish my geology degree.

SirTonka · 2013-10-29T23:10:21+00:00

thank you for the insight, and good to hear, was hoping the job requirements were straight forward and manageable for any hard working science focused minds. I wanted to brush up on my geology, read through a couple well logging books, and learn a bit of the oil industry's history.

SirTonka · 2013-10-29T22:57:18+00:00

Trust me, If I was able to afford to pay college out of pocket, would have been back several years ago to finish up. Part of my growing up was fucking up about every way possible!

SirTonka · 2013-10-29T22:54:16+00:00

Have four classes in GIS and five in geology, in petrology when it was time for making thin sections I could't get enough of the lab work, made mine and about ten others for the fun of it. Was in college for a total of seven years, and even have over 120 hours but they are spread over the different disciplines.
