Thread: Classipress Child Theme Creation Problem

Classipress Child Theme Creation Problem

I am setting up a child theme for Classipress. I have successfully changed background colors for a few things and a couple of images and made some css and function edits.

Now I am trying to add some text to the Welcome header where it says 'Welcome, visitor![Register | Login]. I have tried doing this through the header.php and the includes/theme-header.php but without success. I copied the Classipress incluedes/theme-header.php and header.php to my classi-child directory, added a simple text here:

-------------
`
<div class="header_top">

<div class="header_top_res">

<p>
<?php echo cp_login_head(); ?>
HERE IS WHAT I ADDED<font color="#FFFFFF">test</font>

<a>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/icon_rss.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="rss" class="srvicon" /></a>

<?php if ( get_option('cp_twitter_username') ) : ?>
|
<a>" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/icon_twitter.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="tw" class="srvicon" /></a>
<?php endif; ?>
</p>

</div><!-- /header_top_res -->

</div><!-- /header_top -->
`
--------------

and it does nothing.

Am I in the wrong file? What am I missing here, please? Obviously I am new at child theme creation.

Thanks
