    Hi,

    I am thankful to the justwrite theme developer.
    The elegant, non flashy theme is fascinating.

    I had been using twentytwelvechild theme for long.
    I wanted to ensure multiple device compatibility. There was some viewport mismatch according to Pagespeed.

    Pages appeared with justwritechild.

    However, on two occasions the website url did not show any page as though it was hung.

    In first instance I deleted W3 Total Cache, because I had no clue what to do.

    Next time after 24 hours while editing the child theme the website disappeared.
    There is no W3TC to delete.

    I uploaded fresh WordPress, but I am lost. No page turns up so I cannot change the theme.

    I will appreciate your valuable guidance.

    Best,
    Dr. Ashok Koparday
    PS
    There is a blank plugin folder along with the justwrite. I will be glad if the author tells the purpose of it.

    Please read the documentation on how install JustWrite.

    You don’t need to upload the plugins folder.

    As for your errors please change define('WP_DEBUG', false); to define('WP_DEBUG', true); in wp-confing.php (located in your main WordPress install folder) and copy paste here any errors the website gives you.

    You can also try and disable all your plugins and see if the problem persists.

    Thank you acosmin.

    I found the error was due to functions.php. The problem was resolved when I stripped functions.php to bare minimum.

    I have applied CSS3 transitions on my twentytwelvechild style.css to highlight educational points dramatically.

    I am trying persistently to apply them to justwrite.
    I am using firebug. I am going through all the resources at the end of child theme codex. I even tried ‘child theme configurator’ plugin as a last resort. So far I haven’t been able to apply my twentytwelve child theme CSS3 to corresponding elements in style.css of justwrite. It appears I am missing something basic.

    I chose JustWrite because the theme has crisp typography, is tastefully done. It looks clean and elegant on screen of any size. Besides it is fresh from the oven.

    Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thank you again for a praiseworthy theme.

    Best

    I am sorry to say this but I can’t provide support for any major theme customization.

    You obviously made some changes and I wouldn’t even know where to start to help you.

    Css3 transitions should go in your child theme’s style.css. You only need to find the proper element class or id and apply the style to it. Ex:

    .element-class {
    -webkit-transition:width 1s linear 2s;
    transition: width 1s linear 2s;
}
