    Hi, I have a child theme set up and when it’s activated the themes general styling settings don’t work. If I switch back to the parent theme the themes general styling settings work. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Hey Snerp!

    Make sure that your WordPress installations uploads folder can be written to and that the new child themes dynamic css file has writable permission set on it as well.

    When you save the styling options the theme writes to the uploads/dynamic_avia/enfold.css file and with a child theme it would be uploads/dynamic_ava/child-theme-name.css file. If that file isn’t there or if it doesn’t have server permissions that allow WordPress to write to it then the css can’t be updated or Quick CSS added to it.

    Cheers!

    Hi Devin,

    Here are how the folders and files permissions are set-up, looks like to me these are set correctly?

    Uploads Folder = 755 > Dynamic Avia Folder = 755 > enfold_child.css =755
    enfold.css = 755
    index.php = 644

    Themes Folder = 755 > Enfold Child Folder = 755 > styl.css = 755
    functions.php = 755

    ….so I’m still not sure why the child theme is not working if these file/folder permissions are ok. Do you have any other suggestions?

    Hi!

    Thank you for the info.

    Have you tried deleting the enfold_child.css inside the dynamic_avia folder? Regenerate it again by toggling any settings on Enfold > Theme Options. Please activate the child theme then we’ll check the General Styling panel. Before activating the child theme, export the theme settings file then import it back after.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Ok I tried the deleting of the enfold_child.css and regenerating it…it worked! The Child theme is back displaying as expected.

    Thanks for the help.
