Difficulty Custom Background in Child Theme

  • I created a child theme for Expound, and activated the child theme. When I try to upload a custom background image. The media uploader is unable to load any files from Media Library, when I try to upload a new file I get an error ‘An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.’

    Here is my child theme’s style.css file

    /*
 Theme Name:   My Awesome Theme
 Theme URI:    https://www.example.com
 Description:  Expound Child Theme
 Author:       Admin
 Author URI:   https://www.example.com
 Template:     expound
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  expound-child
*/

@import url("../expound/style.css");

    Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

  • Can you upload files correctly if you temporarily switch to the default Twenty Fourteen theme? Can you upload files correctly if you temporarily disable any and all plugins you may be using? Do you have access to your server’s error logs?

    Yes I created a child theme for Twenty Twelve and was able to upload files successfully. In fact when I am uploading files with expound the files actually get uploaded but the childtheme is unable to show them in media uploader.

    I think I found a fix. I opened expound’s functions.php file and copied the function expound_setup and pasted it in the child theme’s functions.php file This is the part I copy pasted:

    I think this should not be needed. May I am missing something or maybe its a bug?
