    Hi,

    While I was updating the latest version of the theme on my site http://www.twilightfairy.in something happened and some file didnt get copied. Due to this now the theme is broken. Though wordpress shows that it’s at the latest version.. but because it’s broken, it’s defaulting to default theme.

    This is the error I get :

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description
    customizr Stylesheet is missing.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I want to know how to fix this.. will reinstalling the theme remove all my settings?

    Try reinstalling the Theme before anything else. The Settings are stored in the sql database so will not be lost.

    I tried reinstalling it but each time it failed at one particular point (copying some language file) .. so I copied the entire folder unzipped elsewhere into this folder, tried to make the child theme active and don’t know what happened, now my site’s not opening at all. Even the wordpress admin panel is not opening now!

    To revert this, i again removed that folder from themes directory, however my site/wordpress admin area is still not opening for some reason.

    Pls help! I feel I have changed something very basic

    Hi,

    Your website is showing this PHP parse error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘add_filter’ (T_STRING) in /home/twilight/public_html/wp-content/themes/custchild/functions.php on line 4

    This is the screenshot. http://i.share.pho.to/25380af4_o.png

    This error points to code within your /wp-content/themes/custchild/functions.php
    I assume your child theme name is custchild

    1) You should use FTP to login to your web server.
    2) Navigate to your child theme, and download a copy of it onto your PC as a backup.
    3) Open up wp-content/themes/custchild/functions.php and delete all your codes, save and overwrite.

    Now, you should be able to login to your website.

    The next thing to do is to find and remove the error codes in your child theme. Do it on your localhost (PC) test site, don’t do it online.

    Thanks!

    yes the parse error started coming later in the night.. before that there was nothing at all.. the site was just “blank”.

    I had enabled the wrong child theme while copying customizr folder into my directory.. after that I kept trying to enable the other child theme but i could just not access the admin panel. now i have removed the custchild theme & enabled the actual child theme and it is working fine.
    Thanks!
