 * Hi,
 * When trying to activate my child theme (many times – arrgghh) I am getting a 
   blank white page and have just discovered this in the error log:
 * [09-Jun-2012 12:02:19] PHP Warning: require_once(/home2/dominiu2/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/qualeb child/admin/options-framework.php) [[function.require-once](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-message-when-trying-to-activate-child-theme/function.require-once?output_format=md)]:
   failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/dominiu2/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/qualeb/functions.php on line 183
    [09-Jun-2012 12:02:19] PHP
   Fatal error: require_once() [[function.require](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-message-when-trying-to-activate-child-theme/function.require?output_format=md)]:

   usr/share/pear’) in /home2/dominiu2/public_html/wp-content/themes/qualeb/functions.

 * I am a complete novice when it comes to PHP so any advice would be most welcome.
 * Thanks,

 * That’s a premium theme and I would contact the seller of the theme for support.
