Cheatin’ uh?

Hi bharat.
When you enter the theme name and click on “Create” you should get this message: “Child theme {NAME} successfully created!” and a button saying “Preview and Activate” right?
Then you click on that button and you get that message? (which is a wordpress message appearing when you don’t have permissions to do that).
Also, what customizr & versions are you using?

Right! when I click on the “Preview and Activate” button, I get this error.
I am using Customizr version 3.2.1

Just tried with Customizr 3.2.1 (which is pretty old since latest version is 3.2.10), and don’t get that issue.
Would you try to deactivate other plugins?

I deactivated all the plugins, but still I am getting the same error.

*Actually the version is 3.2.10

Well that’s the version I’m using too and I don’t get that error.
Anyway if that’s the only problem you have, the child theme is successfully created and you can activate it.
Do you have any other problem previewing themes?

Hi,

I use the Accelerate WP theme from Themegrill. It has a slider and worked fine on it so far. I made the Accelerate-Child-1 child theme with Childify-me and activated, but the slider disappeared. Activating back the parent Accelerate theme the slider works perfectly.

I tried to deactivate plugins, the situation is the same. I’m puzzled because I want to use the child-1 theme due to some modification, and want to keep the slider, too. Please, how could be this fixed?

Thanks!

Hi sanver,
I tried your theme and yes there’s a “problem”. Which by the way isn’t about this plugin. Basically that theme, when you use a child, doesn’t retrieve the settings from the parent, and the first time you go in the theme Options it creates a new row in the db with the default options + the new changes. So you haven’t lost only the slider, but also other options, isn’t it?
My plugin, doesn’t do anything weird, just creates a new theme and tells it to be the child of another theme, it just automatizes the child-theme creation procedure. ??
So if you’re looking for a solution you better ask to the accelerate theme support forum (how to create a child-theme which inherits parent’s settings?).

If you’re familiar with the data bases, I suggest you to go in your db. In the wp_options table look for the row with option_name =”accelerate”, Copy the “option_value” field content.
Then look for the row option_name = the_name_of_your_child ( in small letters ) and paste what you copied before in its “option_value” field.
If you’re familiar with the data bases you should know that before making direct changes you better make a backup of your db.
(I’m not responsible in possible damages of your db if you follow the above procedure anyways :P)

But if you’re not familiar with the data bases, and they (theme support forum) cannot help you, the only chance you have is set the options again (slider included of course).
Cheers
