The setup is explained in the readme.html (inside the zip file). If you do it step by step like explained there you will have the sidebars like on the demo website. </p> <p>The sidebar on the blog frontpage is the "Main sidebar". The categories is a bfnav shortcode in a page (imported in step 4) added to the main sidebar and the portfolio sidebar (custom sidebar created in step 5) with the "bf page" widget (step 7).</p> <p>If you want to create a custom sidebar, just add a sidebar name in the "Custom Widget Area" input field in the theme setting. To use it in a page/template use the widgetarea shortcode (the id parameter is the name of the custom sidebar. see the templates that is imported with the step 8 for an example how it's used on the demo website of the child theme). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/child-theme#post-8020 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 13:20:16 +0000 Adam007 8020@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>hi there,<br /> great new child themes!!<br /> how can i make sidebar menu? i've created new categories, but they're not showing up. should i do it by using a widget?<br /> on this example, you have a sidebar menu <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/childtheme/bfct02/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vfxdude.com/childtheme/bfct02/</a> which is different to the one on 'portfolio' page. how can i achieve that?</p> <p>thanks,<br /> Adam </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/cant-find-enable-custom-templates-feature-for-the-new-child-theme-bfct01#post-7972 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:44:34 +0000 BLue Casa 7972@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Perfect!

The child theme doesn't have a separate theme setting, but rather it's own tab. Something has gone wrong with your upgrade, <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#how2upgrade">here's how to upgrade</a>. The folder name must be bigfeature under themes (same themes folder as the child theme). It doesn't work if you have installed the bigfeature-wordpress-theme.zip file you downloaded (it is the bigfeature.zip file inside that should be installed). </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/cant-find-enable-custom-templates-feature-for-the-new-child-theme-bfct01#post-7970 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 16:43:19 +0000 BLue Casa 7970@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I've upgraded to Big Feature 1.4.1.4 and have been following the setup instructions for bfct01.
