Hello,
I’m having one heck of a time getting my child theme in place. I’ve done this other times on other sites, so not sure what’s going on.
I have watched your video tutorial here, I have even attempted to use the basic one referred to here.
Unfortunately, the end results are all the same. Once I activate the child theme, I get a white screen and have to revert back. I’ve narrowed it down to it being any time i have the functions.php file in my child theme folder. Once I remove that, the site loads the child theme, then I can import my settings, and customizations, set my front page, etc. This happens even if I have the empty shell of a functions.php file included in the child-theme sample. I have a few small modifications that I would prefer to not implement every time there is an update, so a working child theme would be very helpful.
Hey fbords,
Did you try the one you can download here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/downloads/? That is the most basic child theme you can install.
Best regards,
RikardInterestingly enough, that version seems to work. However, I do have some items that aren’t moving from my parent the child theme.
I have a lot of CSS that is in the Quick CSS field that I moved to style.css in the child theme. However, it appears that any styles that refer to Custom CSS classes (activated by enabling
add_theme_support('avia_template_builder_custom_css');in functions.php) are only applied if they are in the Quick CSS field. I can’t seem to get them to work via the .css file at all. All other styles seem to be applied correctly as far as I can tell.I had previously edited functions-enfold.php to reverse the portfolio buttons as referenced in this post. However, I can’t get it to work in the child theme. I’ve tried adding the function from that article into the child theme copy of functions-enfold.php as well as trying to rename the file functions-enfold-child.php. Either way, it seems to be ignored.
