Title: Formatting problems after theme update Last modified: August 29, 2018 --- # Formatting problems after theme update * [denis24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis24/) * (@denis24) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-problems-after-theme-update/) * I have Colorway 3.4.9 installed with a child theme. * Updating to 3.7.9 causes major formatting issues, including: * – removing styles for .container (for page content) * – not displaying footer widgets * Comparing stylesheets, I found that .container is now replaced by other divs like .cw-content.container and .container-head, and the div for the footer widgets(. container_24 .grid_6) no longer exists. * How can I resolve these issues so I can update the theme? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fformatting-problems-after-theme-update%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Theme Author [inkthemescom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inkthemescom/) * (@inkthemescom) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-problems-after-theme-update/#post-10645768) * Hi Denis, * Yes, we have made lots of improvements concerning the look and feel of the theme and made some HTML tweaks in the theme. * If you want to keep your changes then, you can make use of child theme. * Regarding all the stylings, please share the custom CSS that you are using, we will make the changes in the same and share the same with you. * Thread Starter [denis24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis24/) * (@denis24) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-problems-after-theme-update/#post-10646781) * Thanks for your reply. However, it seems that you don’t understand my issue. * I am using a child theme. * The formatting issues after updating the parent theme are not child theme styles not being applied. They are due to changes in the coding of the parent theme. * For example, the parent theme style.css includes this: * .container { margin-top: 55px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px; -moz- border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px; border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px; background- color: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: none; box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px #000000; } * After updating Colorway these styles disappear because the .container div is replaced by other divs. * And for some reason, all my footer widgets disappear after updating Colorway. * How do I fix this? * I’ll paste my child theme css below, if you think it helps. * ———– * /* * Theme Name: Colorway-child Version: 1.0 Author: Samadhi Web Design Author URI: [http://www.samadhiwebdesign.com](http://www.samadhiwebdesign.com) License: GPL2 + License URI: [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html) Template: colorway */ * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../colorway/style. css”); * /*———- TEXT ——————————-*/ * h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { color: #3D8899; } * .page-id-4 .content-wrap h2 { display: none; } * /*———- HEADER —————————–*/ * .logo { margin-top: 30px !important; } * #header-column-box { margin:0px auto; width: 100%; } * #header-col-1 { float:left; margin: 0px; width: 19.968429360695%; } * #header-col-2 { width: 50.0394633%; float:left; margin: 0px; } * #header-col-3 { float:left; margin: 0px; width: 29.992107340174%; } * #header-col-1 img, #header-col-2 img, #header-col-3 img { width: 100%; } * .header .menu-bar { margin-top: 30px !important; } * /*——– NAV-BAR ——————————*/ * .content-info { display:none; } * #menu-item-23 { background: #fff899 !important; } * #menu-item-309 { background: #c4e6a1 !important; } * .menu-item a { color: #d17373 !important; } * #menu li.current-menu-item a, #menu li a.selected, #menu li.current-menu-parent a, #menu li.current_page_parent a, #menu li a.selected, #menu li a:hover, #menu li.current_page_item a { background: #cdf6ff !important; } * #menu li.current-menu-item a, #menu li.current-menu-parent a, #menu li.current_page_parent a, #menu li a.selected, #menu li a:hover, #menu li.current_page_item a, #menu li.sfHover, #menu li.sfHover a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #e6faff !
