4.2 not working

Hi guys, I was on holiday so when I came back it was time to update from 3.8.1 to 4.2.

It doesn’t work at all…can you help? I’ve reinstalled 3.8.1 for now. I installed the complete new files. Normally I use child theme. Many thanks

Be sure to deactivate child theme when upgrading and select main theme as working; then upgrade files; then go back and activate child theme. At least that seems to be the way to do that. And of course clear cache on server/CDN, and your web browser – often what happens is that something is loading the old styles, and so browser ends up loading mix of old and new. Might not be your issue, but worth a try. 4.2 does work, but I haven’t used it with child theme myself as I prefer to change core files and use custom CSS to avoid such weirdo issues with child themes, and I’m a believer in NOT using the CSS redirect from child to parent.

Thanks very much Christopher – that works now. Child theme also now working so I don’t know what I screwed up there…

I spoke too soon. Works when I install it, goes mad when I try to customize it from the theme panel (child theme or not, and still like this after emptying all the caches)

P.S. works in preview

OK so now it’s working again…I think this is a cache issue.
