Thread: Child Theme set up and questions

Child Theme set up and questions

So i have created and installed a child theme. I have never liked child themes, but i am giving it a go. So I have a few questions:

Here is the link to the website: http://www.hisresources.org/
So far i have this as the style.css in the child theme:
1. Say i want to change some of the images that vantage uses (lets use the favicon.ico file as an example) how would i put that into the child theme? I have my own favicon.ico file. Would i insert some code in the child theme, or just replace the favicon.ico file in the vantage parent theme? and if i did this, what would happen if that file was updated in a new version of vantage?

2. How would I go about deleting a certain element of the page? (lets say I dont want breadcrumbs on the page) what kind of code would i use to remove an element? I'm assuming it would start with something like this .. but i dont know what would go next. I am trying to do this with multiple elements of the page

This is all I have now, but i know I will have more questions later.
