    Hi,

    I have accidentally deleted the child-theme of Twenty-Eleven of my live site. But I have its cloned site running on a VM/Guest of Oracle VirtualBox on local PC. Please advise how to copy the child-theme of the cloned site to the live site?

    Thanks and Regards

  • Hi,

    It is simply a matter of copying the child theme directory from your copy site to live

    e.g. cloned .. wp-content/themes/my-child-theme -> live wp-content/themes/my-child-theme

    using you favourite file management tool ( e.g. FTP, SCP or control panel file manager )

    Then when copied, go to live dashboard > appearance > themes and activate the child theme

    Hi Fullworks.

    I have been spending hours and couldn’t fix the problem

    Browing the website on Firefox there is no problem
    Browing the website on Chrome all pages are messed up
    (I have been cleaning all cookies and data on Chrome and it doesn’t help)

    This PC is running Oralce VirtualBox.
    Browsing the website on both Firefox and Chrome of a VM/Guest all pages are messed up.

    Regards

    Hi Fullworks,

    Problem solved.

    I have to extract the .zip file on local PC before uploading the folder including all their files to the live website

    Regards
