Did not indicate when. In the meantime, revert to default font settings: [https://colorlib.com/wp/forums/topic/undefined-index-errors-extras-php/](https://colorlib.com/wp/forums/topic/undefined-index-errors-extras-php/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Child Theme Configurator] Undefined index: size (typography) and Undefined index: style](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/) * Thread Starter [BeckyTech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beckytech/) * (@beckytech) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/#post-8652938) * Fabulous, thank you! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Child Theme Configurator] Undefined index: size (typography) and Undefined index: style](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/) * Thread Starter [BeckyTech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beckytech/) * (@beckytech) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/#post-8639868) * I know the errors don’t go away, but there are situations where it looks to me like they are a show stopper and I don’t want my show stopped. 🙂 Let me explain why masking a problem is just fine as a temporary solution. * It looked to me like the only way around this error was to create a new child theme, copy all the files from my old child-theme directory to my new one, etc.( Maybe that was user error, but updates to my css file didn’t seem to be working and after I did this the updates to the css worked fine). It was a hassle, it created some ripple effects in other areas and it was just kind of messy to recover from. Altogether, it took me over an hour to get my site back correctly. * Remember that when I originally ran into this I was just innocently going along updating my plugins. Since I knew I had not made any changes to any files or code, I really didn’t want to have to stop, Google a few different ways to see if this problem had been encountered before and had an existing resolution. If not, now I have to go find the developer’s forum, register, login, and create a succinct post of the problem. We are talking a good hour and a half because as I’m Googling I’m trying to get a handle on just what the problem is. * You responded right away, which is great. (BTW, I got sick and had to table this problem for awhile. Now I’m back at it.) But now I have to take a significant side trip along a path that I really didn’t want to have to pursue at the moment. And right now the developer’s response is it will be fixed later. I have no idea when the developer will come out with an update. * Now the option to mask the debug output is really needed because the theme developer responded that I have to change the font in order to not get the error. So now when it’s time to do the CTC update on my sites, I have to change the font, run the CTC update, then go back and change the font. * I hope I’ve explained this and you can see why just being able to say “skip the errors, do the CTC update” would be a helpful option. * And let me say once again that the quality of your tech support is just stellar. Thank you! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Child Theme Configurator] Undefined index: size (typography) and Undefined index: style](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/) * Thread Starter [BeckyTech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beckytech/) * (@beckytech) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/#post-8636035) * Update: GoDaddy had me flush the cashe and that cleared the new error, so I’m back to the original: Notice: Undefined index: size in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data02/ 02/2906402/html/wp-content/themes/sparkling/inc/extras.php on line 304 * Notice: Undefined index: style in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data02/02/2906402/ html/wp-content/themes/sparkling/inc/extras.php on line 304 * It turns out that the other directories are the GoDadddy hosting directories and have nothing to do with my site until we hit the “html”. * Now I can go try to get a response from the developer, but I would still like the option to not run Child Theme in debug mode. * Thanks Becky * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Child Theme Configurator] Undefined index: size (typography) and Undefined index: style](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/) * Thread Starter [BeckyTech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beckytech/) * (@beckytech) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/#post-8635929) * Things just got worse. Although you helped me with one site, I never did go back to the Sparkling developer and tell them of the problem. I need to get back on this and resolve this issue, so today I logged into one of my sites and discovered that the author had updated his theme. Great, maybe it fixed the undefined index errors. * No such luck. This time when I ran the analyzer I was hit with several pages of the following error: ———— Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded element of WP_Hook has no effect in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data02/02/2906402/html/ wp-content/object-cache.php on line 709 ————– * When I did the debug thing you told me about: turn on debug, activate the master theme and call up the home page, the home page would not load. All I got was a page full of these errors instead. I re-upload the non-debug wp-config.php and the site is back up, but I’m no closer to resolving the Child Theme Configurator problem. * I would like an option to update my child theme configurator software without running in debug mode. My only other option is to create a new child theme (child- them.01, .02) each time you issue an update. * The original error and this error references a directory that I cannot see in FTP: * Undefined index: size in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data02/02/2906402/html/wp- content/themes/sparkling/inc/extras.php on line 304 PHP Notice: Undefined index: style in home/content/p3pnexwpnas04_data02/02/2906402/html/wp-content/themes/ sparkling/inc/extras.php on line 304 * Judging by some other messages to the developer about this problem, they were caused by an add-on. The problem is that I have no idea what is in the content directory and what these other directories hold. I have a call in to GoDaddy to try to find out. My add-ons are very minimal and I know I shared those with you in my first message. * I’m wondering if you could replicate this problem by loading the old version of your software on a version of the theme before this very latest update. Then updating your software starting with mid-year last year when this problem started appearing? * I don’t want to debug the theme, I don’t know how to fix the errors, I just want to use your software and proceed, that’s why I would like the option not to run in debug mode, just use the current child theme and update your software. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Child Theme Configurator] Undefined index: size (typography) and Undefined index: style](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/) * Thread Starter [BeckyTech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beckytech/) * (@beckytech) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-size-typography-and-undefined-index-style/#post-7707105) * I did contact you and am back here in public to say: Thank you very much for working so quickly to help me. I must say, as a person with 25 years in the IT industry and having had contact with enough tech support people to give me gray hair, your level of service is extraordinary.
