    I couldn’t find the mistake yet…

  • Hi there!

    Were you trying to create a child theme when this happened?

    If not could you explain what you were trying to achieve when this happened.

    Cheers,

    Hi Luke !

    I had the child theme up, and actually its working already… I am not 100% sure if the error was always there or not…
    So I checked the old topics about it and I try to find out if there was something similar, but I couldn’t figure out yet.
    I think perhaps my child theme Style is incomplete.

    All I got on my Child Style

    Theme Name: Child theme for Makery
    Description: Child theme with new changes for the existing theme
    Author: Allenvik
    Template: Makery

    Look’s like your missing the Text-Domain part.

    /*
     Theme Name:   YourThemeName Child
     Theme URI:    http://yourthemesurl.com
     Description:  YourThemeName Child Theme
     Author:       YourName
     Author URI:   http://yourwebsite.com
     Template:     Name of the Parent Theme
     Version:      1.0.0
     Text Domain:  your-childtheme-name
    */
    
    /* =Theme customization starts here
    -------------------------------------------------------------- */

    and your functions.php file :

    <?php
    
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
    function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
        wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
    }

    But it look’s like ‘Makery’ is a premium theme so perhaps the Theme authors could help you with support. These forums are really for the free themes available at the WordPress repository.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi Luke,

    I have corrected the text domain part alright, however the error remained, so I went further to modify functions.php, and then… the site disappeared!

    no luck trying to re-log back in by /wp-login or wp.login.php..

    Try to go back and reedit and doesn’t work either.

    Any idea how to get back in?

    Thx for your help

    As this is a premium theme please use their support forums:

    http://themextemplates.com/support/

    You could try deleting the child theme (via FTP) and starting over.

    Yea ! I should have gone to ask their help first.. I just not so use to this. Regarding the FTP, this is exactly what I am doing right now, I am trying to download the functions.php of the child theme so I can correct the mistake.

    I actually found the old functions.php and I managed to correct the mistake, upload the new file and the site is BACK ! YEA !

    Also I notice that the old functions was under a different child theme name… instead of ‘Child theme for Makery’, it was ‘registration’?

    Can this be the initial problem then?

    Could be, I’m not sure.

    As it’s a premium theme there is no way for me to look at it and tell you, hence using their own support forums.

    Glad you got it working again 🙂

    Thx 4 your help
