    Hi,

    Activated a child theme in Admin panel/Themes (after having created a new folder “CherryFramwork-child”, including style.css, which I had transferred to the folder Themes via ftp).

    Now I cannot access the website nor the admin panel. All I see is this warning text:

    Warning: include_once(): Unable to access /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/custom-function.php in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 22 Warning: include_once(/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/custom-function.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 22 Warning: include_once(): Failed opening ‘/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/custom-function.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 22 Warning: require_once(): Unable to access /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/sidebar-init.php in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 28 Warning: require_once(/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/sidebar-init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 28 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/includes/sidebar-init.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/functions.php on line 28

    Would very much appreciate your help in how getting access to the admin panel again, so that I can inactivate the child-theme. Have also tried to remove the child-folder from Themes via ftp but with no success.

    Best regards

    Do you have FTP working? If not, have you asked your hosting company about that?

    Yes, the ftp is working fine.

    Is the child theme folder gone? Have you cleared any caching on your site and browser?

    I think the problem is the child theme is activated within the admin panel and that i should inactivate it. But since I cannot get acces to the admin panel, I’m totally at a loss.

    I’ll try that right ahead.

    Removing it from the theme’s folder using FTP or Cpanel to access the files on the server should remove it entirely from your site.

    It didn’t make any difference. All I still see is the warning text.

    Ask your hosting company for help if FTP isn’t working.

    Many thanks for helping me out.

    I did that but unfortunately it didn’t help. The folder was removed but I still could not access the admin panel nor website. Just now I tried to copy another theme’s files into the CherryFramework-child to see if it could make any difference.

    But except for a shorter warning-text I could still not except the admin panel nor website:

    Warning: require(): Unable to access /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/inc/custom-header.php in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/functions.php on line 83 Warning: require(/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/inc/custom-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/functions.php on line 83 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework/inc/custom-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/virtual/bygghjarta.se/public_html/infor_start/wp-content/themes/CherryFramework-child/functions.php on line 83

    Any more clues?

    What happens when you delete that entire theme (child and parent) from the themes folder?

    By changing the name on the mother theme, WordPress activated automatically the default theme Twenty Thirteen. I suddenly could access the website as well as the admin panel again.

    I’m much thankful for your taking the time to help me out. It was a “stressome” situation… ??
