Title: Crashed page – child theme Last modified: November 7, 2019 --- # Crashed page – child theme * [malemma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malemma/) * (@malemma) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crashed-page-child-theme/) * Hi, I wanted to create a child theme to the theme VMagazine Lite. When I have activated the child theme, my page has crashed. I also could not access to the wp-admin of the page. * I received the following error message on the page: „The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” * I received the following error message via mail: „An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 60 of the file /home/meselang/public_html/wp-content/themes/ vmagazine-lite/inc/init.php. Error message: require(): Failed opening required‘/ home/meselang/public_html/wp-content/themes/vmagazine-lite-child/inc/welcome/ welcome-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/alt/php71/usr/share/pear’)” * Note: I have created the child theme as instructed by wordpress.org.

But I still want to create a child theme. Can you help me what the problem is? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcrashed-page-child-theme%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [malemma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malemma/) * (@malemma) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crashed-page-child-theme/#post-12107283) * Hi, Complement: I have already tried to install the child theme again on a new site with a newly installed VMagazine Lite theme (without using any plugin).

Please check this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-generator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-generator/) after creating the child theme you can delete the plugin from your site. * Regards!
