 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/#new-post)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * In your Astra child theme you use a function with exactly the same name as the
   Astra theme uses. The solution would be to adapt the relevant function in the
   Astra child theme. Change “wp_system_query_script” to “custom_wp_system_query_script”,
   for example.

 * Hello threadi,
 * Sorry for being thick but where do I find “wp_system_query_script” as I have 
   looked in astra child theme functions.php and the main theme but nothing in there
   by that name.

 * Since you are using a child theme, I assumed that you had programmed it yourself?
   Then you should be able to find the function in the functions.php of this child
   theme. It should start with a line that looks something like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function wp_system_query_script()
       ```
