Title: Child Theme Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Child Theme * Resolved [akacruiseman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akacruiseman/) * (@akacruiseman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-138/) * 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. * Jim Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * (@wpmudev-support2) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-138/#post-5776054) * 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://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/7-best-wordpress-backup-plugins-compared-pros-and-cons/) [http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/premium-freemium-wordpress-backup-plugins/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/premium-freemium-wordpress-backup-plugins/) [http://www.wpmayor.com/top-wordpress-backup-plugins-2014/](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 * Thread Starter [akacruiseman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akacruiseman/) * (@akacruiseman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-138/#post-5776090) * 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. [http://www.bradenrivervfw.org](http://www.bradenrivervfw.org) * 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.

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](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.
