Hello,
When i create an (empty) child theme and activate the WPBakery plugin, the layout breaks.
It differs from the parent theme, although no changes were made to the child theme yet.
Version: 9.7.2
Repro steps:
Install parent theme
Create basic child theme
Activate child theme
Activate WPBakery plugin
View website
Expected behaviour:
(Empty) child theme should look like the parent (default) theme or no differences in layout
Actual behaviour:
Layout of (child) theme is broken different after activating WPBakery
Remarks:
The parent (default) theme seems to be working correctly with the WPBakery plugin activated
Please advice how to resolve this?
Thanks
Hi,
For me this is working without problems -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2VGZd5y9S3q
Please make sure that you are using the child theme from the package ( Newspaper theme ) that you are using.
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
WP_MEMORY_LIMIT try to increase it at least to 256mb.
This can be a plugin conflict, please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, please deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you!
Hi,
it seems there was an (some sort of) corruption in the child’s theme.
I’ve reuploaded an empty child theme and it seems to be working.
Thanks
Hi Calin,
The child theme isn’t working as expected though.
I’ve used the default child-theme and added td_footer_template_1.php in the parts folder.
It seems like it’s not picking it up.
As a test, i’ve added an additional class to a div, but isn’t visible on the site
was:
<div class=”td-container”>
changed into:
<div class=”td-container another-extra-test-class”>
Can you see/tell why it’s not being overridden?
Here’s a test site i’m playing with: https://forkast.vcbwebdesign.nl
It contains the default wp installation with only the newspaper and child theme activated
Thanks
Hello,
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagdiv composer plugin as per the requirements of envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
