no sidebar after update

Maaike,

I’m so sorry to hear that.

Could you try switching from your child theme to the regular Ignite theme temporarily to see if this fixes it? If this doesn’t help, please try deactivating all on the site plugins, in case the conflict is from the recent WordPress 4.5 update and a plugin on the site. This won’t have any affect on the plugin settings when reactivated.

If neither of these fixes the issue, please let me know and we can continue to debug.

Hello Ben,

Activating the regular ignite theme does solve the problem.

Great thanks for trying that!

Could you share a copy of the child theme here? I will install it on a test site and this will allow me to find the source of the error.

I would want to, but i don’t know how to share the files.

Okay one question first: are the only changes made in the style.css file? If so, please let me know and I can debug this without downloading a copy. It’s only the PHP files that I can’t see when visiting the site.

If there are edits to PHP files, you can download the child theme by connecting to your server via FTP, and downloading the “ignite-child” folder in this location:

/wordpress/wp-content/themes/ignite-child

Your host should have your login credentials available in the cPanel, and FileZilla is a great FTP client you can use.

Once you’ve downloaded the child theme, you can use any file sharing service to share a copy here. Dropbox or Google Drive would both work great.

Please let me know if you have any questions about that, and I’ll be happy to help!

There are also edits in the php files. Here are the files:

Got it, thanks!

The error is coming from the use of the ct_ignite_post_navigation() function at the bottom of the index.php file.

Please replace both instances of that function with the following function instead:

the_posts_pagination( array(
    'prev_text' => __( 'Previous', 'ignite' ),
    'next_text' => __( 'Next', 'ignite' )
) );

Once that function is switched out, the site should display normally again.
