    Hi

    I created a child theme from Imbalance 2 as per the instructions on WordPress. When I activated the theme, the screen went white. I reloaded it, still white.

    I tried to go back to the Themes screen in WordPress so that I could revert back to the parent theme but that is also empty.

    I cannot login to edit anything.

    I have tried:

    deleting the child theme via ftp, nothing
    copying the contents of the parent theme into the place of the child theme to undo the changes, nothing
    setting the theme folder back to the original structure, nothing
    changing permissions for all files 0755, , nothing

  • For now, can you set the theme as one of the WordPress default themes? Say TwentyFourteen?

    After that, there shouldn’t really be anything in your child-theme files at all. Well except for the necessary CSS comments in styles.css and if you like, this snippet in your functions.php

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    
    }

    By the way, pasting large amounts of code here is discouraged. It’s likely that the post will be moderated. Best use something like Pastebin and if you do paste code use the code button or wrap in backticks.

    OH, and you’re locked out?

    Maybe try using FTP to go in and rename the folder of your child-theme and it’s parent theme. This should force WP to use a default theme.

    Thanks, I’ll remove the above code.

    Yes, I’m completely locked out.

    I’ll try the renaming tip now.

    Thank you Martcol, you are a damn genius!

    Thread Starter P-Digi

    (@p-digi)

    What could have caused that?

    Actually, I only wish I was a genius!

    I think that you might have had stuff in the functions.php file of your child theme which caused a conflict. If you copied any or all of the parent theme functions.php you would call that stuff twice which is going to cause WP to fall over its own laces!

    Thread Starter P-Digi

    (@p-digi)

    The functions.php has to be copied over entirely, I read. Is that wrong? Or if it is correct, do the functions have to be renamed?

    Your child theme will use the parent’s functions. If you want to add or change any of its functions you can do that in the child.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php

    Copying the content of the parent functions.php is wrong.

    Thread Starter P-Digi

    (@p-digi)

    Thanks, I’ll stick to using the codex help and the forum here, rather than blogs! I’ll try the changes with just the change functions in the child functions.php

    Thanks Martcol, it works swimmingly.
