    Hi

    Just completed the creation of a child theme for my primary WP theme and now have lost the ability to access the back-end of my site using wellsold.ca/wp-admin. Loading https://www.wellsold.ca there is an error across the top of the page and when loading wp-admin this is the error I get;

    Warning: file_get_contents(/hermes/bosnaweb09a/b2431/nf.wellsoldca1/public_html/wp-content/themes/TESSERACT-child/css/typicons.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosnaweb09a/b2431/nf.wellsoldca1/public_html/wp-content/themes/TESSERACT/inc/beaver-builder-modules/link-button/link-button-module.php on line 93 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosnaweb09a/b2431/nf.wellsoldca1/public_html/wp-content/themes/TESSERACT/inc/beaver-builder-modules/link-button/link-button-module.php:93) in /hermes/bosnaweb09a/b2431/nf.wellsoldca1/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1179

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename /TESSERACT-child/ to /TESSERACT-child-broken/

    This will reset to the default theme so you can work with your site again.

    Alternatively, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and fix the theme files by editing them with a plain text editor.

    Overall, it looks like the problem is that your child theme is looking at least /css/typicons.css (possibly all of the parent theme’s resources) in the child theme’s directory rather than the parent theme’s directory.

    Hi James – thanks for the reply.

    I did exactly as you’ve suggested but the theme isn’t listed in the wp-content folder. I’ve attached an image of my file structure and the teme I’m working with is the Tesseract Theme.

    Hi James

    Changed the name of the file and still have the same issue.

    Checked via FTP and the file name has also been changed.

    Now that the directory’s name has been changed, what error is displayed on the site?

    Specifically please, don’t just say “the same one,” the details will matter. ??

    Sorry, re-looking at the error, the problem is in the Tesseract theme.

    You’ll need to rename /TESSERACT/ to /TESSERACT-broken/
