Hi guys,

could you please advise on what I need to do in order to create a child theme of Dante v3.16? I’ve tried creating a directory called dante-child. I’ve placed following files in:

– functions.php
– style.css
– index.php

I then go to my site and enable the child theme and I get a blank white page when I view the home page.

Hi,

You should check inside the Themeforest files, we already have there an empty child theme.
Copying those files from the parent won’t work.

I was provided a dropbox link from Kyle to download version 3.16 and the downloaded file only had the parent theme and no child. Could you provide me with this?

Hi,

Can’t find it in my files at the moment, already asked a colleague to provide me one.
The child theme never changes between theme updates.

In the meantime the child theme is available in the TF files.

When I get the child theme, will check the topic to see if you still need it.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for sharing that with me. I’ve downloaded the file and placed it in my wp-content/themes directory. I then go into my wordpress site and enable the Child theme. I see no features from Dante Parent theme and when I visit the homepage I still see a blank white screen. There is no PHP errors as I’ve WP_DEBUG, true in my wp-config.php File.

Does it matter that I am attempting to use this child theme on a WordPress Multisite? I’m very confused.

The site is on my localhost so can’t provide access. It might help if I explain the structure:

I have the Dante Parent Theme installed and it works fine when I enable it. I downloaded Ruis link and it contained the following

– A folder called dante-child which contains 3 files:

style.css
functions.php
screenshot.png

I then enable the child theme on my site and nothing works. I get a blank screen.

style.css only contains:

Hi,

Assuming you have no errors output with debug on, is it just a white screen after child theme activation?

You would likely need to restart MAMP servers.

Hi Dave, yes it is. I’ve tried restarting WAMP. I’ve also uploaded to an internal test server but the same white screen is showing…

Hi,

After activating the child theme you need to assign a new front page and also assign the menus once again. You will only have to do this once.

Also try to increase the memory inside wp-config.php

Change your WordPress memory to 128M or a maximum 256M.

Also check the official documentation from WordPress in the link below.

Hi Rui,

I should also mention that when I activate the child theme from the admin dashboard I lose all of the dashboard tabs associated with the parent theme. It’s as if it has no reference to the parent theme at all.

That’s really strange since it’s referred in the child theme the name of the parent theme.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dbrww1qvis4he8/Screenshot%202015-10-21%2015.00.41.png?dl=0

Did you changed anything in those parameters inside the style.css of the parent theme(not the one in the child theme)?

Hi,

I have just downloaded Rui’s zip file and installed and activated the child theme fine.

This would look to be related to your localhost setup?
