It looks like bloginfo(‘template_url’) is calling up the parent (the actual Thematic theme). What would be the workround if you wanted to keep images in the child theme folder?

@Joachim I updated the post to show you what that looks like.

Just paste in an image tag. Make sure you you close the php tags if you are pasting straight html, or escape the quotes if you use echo instead.

Actually I handled to replace the Blog Title, but I can not insert the LOGO :-(

function child_logo_image() {
//Add you logo image code

Could you tell me an example for the logo image code? If i use the html code I got an unexpected error.

Thanks a lot
Joachim

Try installing the WC3 total cache plugin. Cached files should load quicker than dynamic ones- and it has options for js and css compression. You can also try removing js files that aren’t needed on every page: http://wptheming.com/2009/12/optimize-plug-in-script-wordpress/

Cool tips, used the disable header scripts and favicon tips in my blog. I just have a question though. Most thematic websites have like google page speed score of 70 to 80. The page speed suggests that I enable compression, on the jquery.js file, you think its a good idea to compress this file and other files as well? I mostly edit the style.css file only.

Its my understanding that if your site uses the s.e.o plugin (which many do) you do not have to worry about logo code replacing blog title

Cool list Devin! Your own Thematic child theme looks very good as well.

I altered your admin-panel-functions.php file to include the code below. Basically it keeps the logo img that you had, but also puts the blog-title (in a span) and the blog description back in.. except that if there is a logo detected in the Options panel, then they both get a class=”hide” so they can be thrown off the page. For SEO, which one gets the h1 tag probably depends on what your site description and site names are relative to your keywords but to stay sane for right now I just went w/ how Thematic currently handles it.

/* * Replace Blog Title with Logo */

function add_childtheme_logo() { global $my_shortname; $logo = get_option($my_shortname . '_logo'); if (!empty($logo)) { remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle', 3); remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogdescription',5); add_action('thematic_header','childtheme_logo', 3); add_action('thematic_header','child_blogdescription',5); } } add_action('init','add_childtheme_logo');

function childtheme_logo() { global $my_shortname; $logo = get_option($my_shortname . '_logo'); if (!empty($logo)) { ?>

} }

and then for style I just had to style the hide class. this is probably overkill, but i wanted the thing gone! i

.hide{ text-indent: -9999px; margin-left: -9999px; height:0; overflow: hidden; }

Hey Kathy. When I get a chance I’ll update the child theme to mirror how WooThemes does it:

Site Title Hidden

Site Description Hidden

As a side note, anything that’s set to display:block; can get a height and width.
