  It appears that my previous questions about this got a bit lost/forgotten in another long thread about something else, so I’ll try again, as this is a bit urgent for me now:

  1) How do I, step by step, install the child theme? Will doing so change anything on my site?

  2) How do I, step by step, go about putting my translation into the child theme so that I don’t have to keep translating my site every time I update the theme?

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  regarding the questions above:

  1) You just need to install atelier-child.zip just like any other theme, after installing it you need to activate it.
  That by itself won’t change anything, but future modifications in the child theme will make it possible to extend/changed the theme functionality.

  The child theme zip is inside the big zip that is downloaded from Themeforest.

  2)Inside the child theme create a directory called ‘languages’ and place there the language files .po and .mo
  Inside the functions.php add this line of code

  load_child_theme_textdomain( 'swiftframework', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );

  Hope it helps.

  I installer the child theme now, which so far looks like it went well except that the newsletter bar looks weird – the e-mail adress place holder is not centered (top-bottom) and the Subscribe-button has disappeared. Can you help?

  Please be sure you are using the correct newsletter form code as per: http://www.swiftideas.com/knowledgebase/replicate-the-newsletter-bar-form/

  That’s the one I’m using – I even copy/pasted it in again just to make sure, but it’s still weird.

  Please disable the MailChimp plugin you have. It’s CSS is causing this to happen.

  Thanks.

  I would really like to keep the Mailchimp plugin – is there any other way (custom css?) to fix this?

  You can ask their support how best to deque their assets via a child theme. You could also try and force it using CSS:

  #sf-newsletter-bar .sub-code form input[type="submit"] {
      clear: none!important;
      display: inline-block!important;
  }
