# broken after update (using child theme)

 * I hadn’t looked at my blog in a while, and I discovered recently that at some
   point it broke after an update. Everything below the post title will not show,
   and when I’m logged into the site the top bar is also just white. I’m using the
   child theme. I’ve tried stripping all the customizations out from the child theme
   including in style.css, functions.php, and the advanced options in the customize
   interface, but the problem is still there. Maybe an incompatibility between the
   new parent theme and the child theme?
 * My site is [http://jilleets.com](http://jilleets.com).
 * Thank you.

 * Hello,
    there might be an incompatibility with your specific child-theme. It 
   depends on what you have in it. If you switch on the parent theme and you cannot
   reproduce the issue, then yes it’s because of your child-theme. What do you have
   in it? Any parent file copied in the child? Or what you have in your child-theme
   functions.php? You can share its whole content (child-theme functions.php) through
   pastebin.com

 * I have tried stripping all the customizations out of style.css, functions,php,
   and the advanced options in the customize interface, but the problem is still
   there. Does that tell you anything? I’m wary of switching to the parent theme
   because it may revert other changes (like fonts or whatever, I’ve done it before
   in another site)…
 * When I look in the child theme directory, there’s functions.php, style.css, screenshot.
   png, and a directory called inc.

   Tiles, WP to Twitter
