Hello!
I’m using this plugin to help setup my child theme from OnePress main theme.
I have been using this theme for years in my website, and every year, I edit the copyright notice in the footer.php file to reflect the current year.
Now, I don’t remember how I did last year, but I just can’t seem to remember how to edit this file with Child Theme Configurator plugin active. Usually we would to go “Theme Editor” and edit the file directly from the selection menu.
With Child Theme Configurator plugin, there is no option to manually edit a specific file, or at least I can’t find it.
How can I change the footer contents?
Thank you!
]]>Child Theme Configurator installed fine. It can be activated in Appearance --> Themes, which makes it the active theme.
But when going to Appearance --> edit, nothing returns, and the screen remains blank.
Is there anything else that needs to be done? I notice the PHP code does not refer to the explicit child theme name. So how does it know which theme to use?
The PHP code that was automatically created is:
<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
// AUTO GENERATED - Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:

$uri = get_template_directory_uri() . '/rtl.css';
return $uri;
}
endif;
add_filter( 'locale_stylesheet_uri', 'chld_thm_cfg_locale_css' );
if ( !function_exists( 'child_theme_configurator_css' ) ):
function child_theme_configurator_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'chld_thm_cfg_child', trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css', array( ) );
}
endif;
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_theme_configurator_css', 10 );
// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTIONWordFence thinks this file in the admin folder is a malicious file. You answered a previous post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/is-validate-txt-a-ctc-file/ saying that this file has nothing to do with your plugin. It sure looks like it does. Many lines reference ctc. The top line of several sections is: ctc_update _wpnonce install_themesArray Is this file part of your plugin? Is this plugin even being updated or supported any more?

]]>Hey there,
I know this awesome plugin can handle migrations from parent to child with widgets. But could it actually also handle a change from ex. Twenty Twenty Four to a child theme of such? And also migrate created patterns and page templates?
Cheers,

This ist what I get when trying to create a new child theme with Astra and another theme:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Unknown format specifier “v” in
…child-theme-configurator\includes\forms\settings-errors.php on line 81
Hello. Could I use Configurator to turn a one-sidebar theme into a two-sidebar theme? Thinking of White Dot, or Square.
In the case of White Dot, could I use Configurator to change the height of the image header?
In both cases, do I have to know the coding for those features to be able to do it?
Thanks for your time.

Maybe it will help someone
Thank you
Bluehost support declined to give further details. I asked several times and waited many months. To see if the theme problems would resolve themselves.
I have the Child Theme Configurator plugin which generated the Neve FSE child theme. Let me know if she gives you any trouble.
Your plugin isn’t updated.

Hello! It’s not possible to report problem at your page because when I try to send the report by clicking on the “Send” button it continues to spin without doing anything.

I did not continue to Step 4 as I��m not sure if this is an actual problem that needs solving for a child to be successfully created.
I posted into the Theme support thread, as advised by configurator, however, I was advised it is probably an error being thrown by the Child Theme Configurator plugin itself �C rather than the theme … https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/unexpected-php-debug-output-when-creating-child-theme-for-tt3/?view=all#post-17182696.

]]>Hey,
I need to create a child theme for a website and I have used this plugin for it.
I can create the child theme but when I click “Preview” on the child theme it causes a critical error on wordpress.
When I disable WooCommerce plugin everything works normally.
How could I fix this issue?
Already have contacted WooCommerce and they told to ask from you.

]]>I went through the child theme installation process. It looked as it went fine. I previewed my child theme and my header menu was gone. Instead there was a giant list across the page with a link to every single page on my website. After that list I had the actual content of the page displayed. The list literally consisted of every page on my website, not my menu links.
I’m using WordPress’ twenty twenty two theme. I switched back to the parent theme and it looks fine. Not sure what info I should provide in addition to get a help with that issue
]]>Hello
I went through the process all went perfect, analyse, activate publish, no problems. But when I went to check and confirm via apperances, child theme was not there, I went to plugins to check again, it was gone. Never come across a plug in not remaining unless uninstalled? Now I assume I am still using primary as there is no sign of the activated published child theme? Is there a problem with this theme, I wonder? The site is not live yet, so no url.
]]>I have been advised to add a line of code in the functions.php file to resolve an issue with another plugin (TablePress). It was suggested that I could do that by creating a child theme with Child Theme Configurator.
I don’t know much about WP coding or PHP so I am a little bit overwhelmed by all the options in this plugin.
So the question is really:
Can I use the plugin to “add a line” in functions.php? If so, how do I do it?
By the way, just FYI, the code I need to add is:
add_filter( 'tablepress_wp_search_integration', '__return_false' );This turns off search integration with TablePress.
]]>Hi,
This may sound silly, but I am not an expert and am trying to find the best way to duplicate a child theme I created with changes I like. I want to use it as a backup so that when I continue working on certain parts if it goes wrong, I don’t have to start over again.
I may be wrong, but I was thinking of using the Child Theme I created with the changes I made as the template to duplicate from. I am already working on a staging platform so I don’t want to create another.
Can I do it that way – duplicate the created child theme using the child theme configurator without issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
]]>Hello,
I’ve used this plugin successfully on many different WordPress sites. However, I am creating a new site, which has minimal plugins. I used this plugin to create a child theme. However, at some point it ends up with only the “Widgets” option being available in the WordPress Customizer.
I’ve disabled all plugins and the issue persists, so that’s not it. When I switch to the parent theme, the issue is solved. I have nothing additional that I’ve added to functions.php for the child theme.
The theme in question is “Imagely.”
Is there something that I am not doing to configure this theme properly. I’ve never run into this issue before when using the plugin to configure a child theme.
]]>Hello,
I have websites already running. Some of them are up and running in Internet since many years ago already and sadly enough,I didn��t know about child themes.
While I have watched some tutorials what I still don��t get clear is what I need to mark in order to fully replicate the website once the child themeis activated. Forexample, I don��t know if I have to mark every issue under “Archivos” Tab where you can mark 404, header, footer, etc.
If there is any tab that i need to mark, I would so much appreciate your advice as I don��t fully understand what will happen to the plugins that are installed, for example.
My special concern is about membership plugin that is running in aflorarte.com/bibliolab . Also every configuration concerning payments.
KIndly let me know how to configure Child-Theme-Configurator in my case wthout loosing stye, content and current functions that are active in my websites.
Thank you very much and regards
Liliana

]]>In the German WordPress support forums an user reported an error of type E_ERROR when running the plugin Child Theme Configurator. I could track the error down to an issue with the German translation.
In file lang/child-theme-configurator-de_DE.po line 1497msgid "%sPreview your child theme%s before activating."
is incorrectly translated asmsgstr "%sPr��fen Sie Ihr Kindthema in der Voransicht% vor der Aktivierung."
The missing letter “s” after the second % results in a formatting error.
Also a hint for future translations: In German we usually don’t translate the technical term “child theme” but refer to it as “Child-Theme” (instead of “Kindthema”, which sounds unintentionally funny and may cause confusion).
]]>I chose the theme Hever and Varia is it’s parent (site is hosted on dreamhost.com), so installed both. Apparently, in the customize area, I should have a Colors & Backgrounds section that allows me to change those things and don’t, so I purchased the pro version of the Child Theme Configurator, created Hever-Child in hopes of being able to modify the header and footer. In the header, I’d love for the top of my logo and the top of the primary menu which starts with “Who We Are” not be aligned at the top, but that primary menu slightly lower. The main issue is changing the colors when the mouse runs over the links, I want the color to turn green (#318560), not blue and that the background color of the drop down Services to also be green.
I have been logged into the admin area, in the Child Theme Configurator Pro 2.3.8. I have gone to the All Styles tab and searched for numerous things I think might be what I’m looking for “menu,” “header,” and “footer” all separately and looked at tons of the links that popped up below and am not finding the place to then change what I want to change and copy the Raw Selector of new CSS to add to the customize CSS section (which I was able to find and do for the submit button on the Contact Us page thanks to WP-Forms’ website) and apparently, have no clue what I’m searching for. I tried reaching out directly for help through the contact page at Child Theme Configurator and have seen a swirling object near the submit button thinking it’s not being sent for hours, so am reaching out here. I’d greatly appreciate any help so I don’t just dump this and have to start over with a template more dreamhost friendly. Thanks so much in advance for any help!
