Question from Andrea (http://couponblessingsnow.com)
Quick question – I’m using TAC on my website – so ThemeForest.Net (one of your favorite premium sites…. :D) has a FREE WP theme (WordPress Wave Portfolio) as its FREEBIE of the month – i uploaded it onto my site – used the TAC – it comes up as saying OK, with one static link – is it safe??

Great show as usual. I’m checking out the Div Layer WordPress plugin you highlighted in the show. It looks ral good. I’ll be trying it on some of my sites. Hope you are having a great time in Europe. Thanks for your podcasts.
May 17, 2012@JohnFrankosky How is the Div Layer plugin working for you? Have you had a chance to put it to the test?
May 24, 2012@dhartzler10 I installed the Div Layer plugin and it works very well and is easy to use. My only concern is it does not create a true child theme but instead creates a copy of the original theme and modifies that copy. When I update the original theme I’ll find out if this method works. I created a child theme before and only modified files were created not the whole theme. So I’m not sure if a copy of the whole theme acts as a child of the original as well. I may also just modify the original and see if the changes apply to the copied theme. The important thing for me is to have child themes so I can update the original theme and not lose my changes. Sorry for the long explanation. I heard your podcast after your return and great as usual. Welcome back to the USA.
May 24, 2012@JohnFrankosky Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
