Twenty Seventeen Child Theme Issue

    Hi

    Total newbie here!

    I have created a child theme folder (twentyseventeen-child) in the themes folder.

    Inside the child theme folder, I have created a style.css file and a functions.php file.

    It looks like my style.css and functions.php file aren’t being called properly.
    What have I done wrong?

    
functions.php file....
add_action ("wp_enqueue_scripts", "theme_enqueue_styles");

function theme_enqueue_styles() 
{
     wp_enqueue_style ("parent-style", get_template_directory_uri() . "/style.css");
     wp_enqueue_style ("child-style", get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/style.css", array("parent-style"));
}

function hsl_breadcrumbs() 
{   
	...my code here (tested this function in main theme functions.php file and it works.
}

.style.css file....
/*
Theme Name:     	Twenty Seventeen Child Theme
 Author:         	KW
 Template:       	twentyseventeen
 Version:        	1.0.0
*/

/* HSL Breacrumb Navigation  */
.breadcrumb{
    width:645px;
    float:left;
    padding:0 0 0 47px;
    margin:9px 0 0 0;
    font-size:90%;
    clear:both;
}

.delimiter{
    color:#000;
    background-color:inherit;
}

.delimiter1{
    color: #627FC3;
    background-color:inherit;
}

    Can you describe the issue you’re facing in more detail?

    Hi

    I wrote a function called hsl_breadcrumbs.

    To display the results of this function, I installed a plugin called “PHP Code Widget”.

    In the widgets area, I added a new text widget to the Blog Sidebar and added in
    the code below:

    
<?php 
    if (function_exists('hsl_breadcrumbs')) {hsl_breadcrumbs();} 
?>

    When I added the function hsl_breadcrumbs() to the functions.php file located in the “Twenty Seventeen” directory, the breacrumbs displayed.

    When I removed that function from the “Twenty Seventeen” functions.php file and added it in to the child theme, it stopped working.

    If you put an ‘echo’ in the functions.php file does it show in the source code?

    Also basic question, have you activated the child theme in the dashboard?

    Hi

    Yes, I did activate the theme!

    I commented out everything in the hsl_breadcrumb function in the child theme and
    then added in an echo line….

    and nothing showed up

    What is the directory path of your Child Theme?

    And can you double-check the names of the files? They must be ‘style.css’ and ‘functions.php’.

    Also, do you have any caching?

    Hi

    I am running this site locally at: https://localhost/mysite/

    My child theme is located in the themes folder and is called: twentyseventeen-child

    File names are:
    functions.php
    style.css

    No caching.

    Can you copy all of the code from your (child theme) functions.php file and put it in a pastebin page pastebin.com ? And then link us to that

    I’m not sure I understand, does your functions.php file contain all of this code: https://pastebin.com/Jc19D2pA ? Or is that a split between style.css and functions.php

    Hi

    That is split between functions.php and style.css

    Would you be able to recreate the pastebin page with just functions.php?

    No worries, we’re all helping out of our spare time so we may disappear from time to time, but we always come back to help if we can.

    I see you have this:

    
function hsl_breadcrumbs()
{  
    echo "IN HERE 1";
}

    Can you try echoing outside of the function? Just to make sure your functions.php file is running at all.
    Like this:

    
echo "IN OUTSIDE HERE";

function hsl_breadcrumbs()
{  
    echo "IN HERE 1";
}

    Hi

    I just de-activated the child them and then re-activated the child theme and it’s working now.

    Thank you so much for your time and I’m sorry I should have tried that earlier.
