    Can you link to your website with the child theme active?

    Do you still have this empty CSS file in your Child Theme folder? What is the name of it?

    oarent theme: full-frame
    child theme: full-frame-child (its active)

    Yes, the CSS is still there and it just contains the header and one line which is doing the import

    Sorry I’m not sure I understand the issue you’re facing, can you re-explain it?

    If you activate a child theme which contains nothing than a prepared CSS it shoold not not change anything at the site itself because there is nothing in the child directory.

    Only if you put something into the child-themes directory (eg, a new functions.php or some new lines in your CSS ) it should have any effects to your website.

    If you change from a parent theme to a just empty child theme usually nothing happens at all because there is nothing which could override something

    But I can see your Child Theme active and still the parent styles come through.

    As i said before:
    After the change to the child theme the menu was gone and the settings were lost.
    Of course i fixed it because it is a public websites with customers visiting it.

    One issue you can still see:
    1: The text below the header (“Full Frame is a Premium Responsive WordPress Theme
    This is promotion headline. You can edit this from Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Promotion Headline Options”)

    Before i changed it was this (“Ihr Dienstleister in Sachen…
    Ob hochwertige Aktfotografien als Geschenk……….”)

    It shouldn’t have changed any of your settings, but changing even to a child-theme you need to reset the location of your menu.

    It’s normal for some theme settings to become reset. The process of activating a Child Theme is the same process of activating a new theme.

    That might be, but there seems to be something odd with that theme.
    Look here..
    That Textstring (“Full Frame is a Premium Responsive WordPress Theme
    This is promotion headline. You can edit this from Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Promotion Headline Options”) you only find in full-frame/inc/fullframe-default-options.php.

    I changed that text to mine and uploaded that edited file to /full-frame-child/inc/fullframe-default-options.php, but still you can see that “default text”

    Oh nooooo….
    please have a look into the source code and find this:
    “Posted on By Catch Themes”
    Its direct in the middle oft the slider:

    <a
    title="Analoge Fotografie" href="#"><span>Analoge Fotografie</span></a></h1><div
    class="assistive-text"><span
    class="post-time">Posted on <time
    pubdate="" datetime="2014-08-16T10:56:23+00:00" class="entry-date updated">16 August, 2014</time></span><span
    class="post-author">By <span
    class="author vcard"><a
    rel="author" title="View all posts by Catch Themes" href="https://catchthemes.com/blog/" class="url fn n">Catch Themes</a></span></span></div>
    </header><div
