In reply to: Updating a child theme with a custom.css fileA child theme runs under a parent theme. The parent theme is the one that gets updated without affecting the child. The child theme is for customizations. You can read more about child themes here. https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

In reply to: Broke my blogVery Good, Cool site.

In reply to: Broke my blogYou will need to access the files directly. You can also go in and rename your functions.php file to functions.bak and that should bring your site back online. Since you do have a child theme active, I presume you edited the functions file with the editor in your dashboard>appearance area, am I correct?

In reply to: Broke my blogEither that or contact your developer and see if they can fix it. If you access the files, your theme files should be located:

In reply to: Broke my blogCSS and HTML is somewhat forgiving, PHP is not.
Can you post a link?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Broke my blogOk then, Did you place that code in your CHILD THEME functions file?
You will either have to use FTP or your Host’s File Manager to download and edit the functions.php file and remove only the code snippet you added.

In reply to: Update erased my site!!When you contact your developer, tell him to use a CHILD THEME for your CSS and PHP customizations.

In reply to: Update erased my site!!On the list of themes, are there 2 that have the same name, but the 2nd one has “child” as part of the theme? Your main theme will usually have an image or something, the child will just show as a blank box with a name.

In reply to: Update erased my site!!majority of purchased themes don’t get updates.
Some do.
If there is a child theme, it may have been broken by the update and became inactive also. Although that is rare.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Update erased my site!!To see if you have a child theme installed, go to your dashboard -> appearance -> what themes are installed, particularly is there a theme that says it’s a child theme? What theme is active?
