    Hi,
    Which is the correct child for the Raindrops Theme?
    Under Themes I have a “raindrops-child” folder.

    Under Themes I also have a “raindrops” folder that contains
    a “childs” folder that contains “boots” folder.

    Today’s update, 2/11/2015, has messed up the site but I think it has to do with footer/functions somewhere. I want to research this further myself but would like to eliminate one of the two “child” things as above.

    By the way, I use this Theme for 4 different sites with only this issue on one of them. This is a great theme and very easy to customize.

  • Hey there Jim,

    Hope you’re well! 🙂

    I think the correct one is “raindrops-child” folder.

    I also suggest that every time you do a backup on wordpress version, theme version, plugin version is that you always do a backup there are a lot of awesome articles listing backup plugins like these ( just choose one most of them contain same plugin ):

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/7-best-wordpress-backup-plugins-compared-pros-and-cons/
    http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/premium-freemium-wordpress-backup-plugins/
    http://www.wpmayor.com/top-wordpress-backup-plugins-2014/

    The issue might be caused by a plugin conflict. Try disabling all plugins temporarily to see if the issue will be fix.

    Let me know if it helps! 🙂

    Best Regards,
    Calvin

    Calvin,
    Thanks. I removed that other folder so I have eliminated that as a potential issue.

    I deactivated every plugin, one at a time, but it is still a bit funky.

    The footer, copyright, rss etc, is showing right smack in the top middle.

    There was an update to the Raindrops Theme this morning and like a dummy I had not backed up, this time, before updateing. I also have a couple of other sites using the theme but they are all fine.

    Hi akacruiseman

    I have two question.

    1. your style.css using @import rules ?

    2. your child theme template has raindrops_add_class(), raindrops_show_one_column() ?

    has messed up the site

    What does it have occurred?

    Thank you.

    Hi Nobita,

    style.css has @import url(“../raindrops/style.css”);

    rtl.css has @import url(“../twentyeleven/rtl.css”);
    Note: I do not have the “twentyeleven” theme. Should that be “twentyfourteen” ?

    “your child theme template has raindrops_add_class(), raindrops_show_one_column() ?”
    I do not find that anywhere in the Child Theme

    Here is the site link http://www.bradenrivervfw.org

    Everything seems to be working fine except that part of the footer is showing on every page, in the top middle. I checked all of the widgets and they appear to be correct. I diabled all of the plugins and it made no differenct.

    Thanks for helping.

    Hi akacruiseman

    @import url("../raindrops/style.css");

    No need @import rule.
    Raindrops automatic include parent style.css

    @import url("../twentyeleven/rtl.css");

    Sorry now not support rtl.css

    Are you using Arabic languages?

    You do not need if you are using the English

    “your child theme template has raindrops_add_class(), raindrops_show_one_column() ?”
    I do not find that anywhere in the Child Theme

    You, unless you use it to copy the parent theme of template, there is no need to do anything

    Your Site, </div> closed tag lost

    Do you use it to copy the footer.php?

    Thank you.
