Not Compatible with Child Themes

After choosing the Child Theme from the dropdown, the page goes totally white, and I’m not able to view that page any longer at all, even after disabling the Child Theme from my “Theme Server” settings.

Is there something I should clear out in my database to see that page again?

Sorry for the rapid-fire replies. The only way I could see my whole site again after choosing the child theme from the preview drop-down was to disable the plugin.

But, if I logged out of the site, deleted browser cookies for the site, log back in and re-activate the plugin then I’m in business again.

So, if anyone has a hard time after trying to preview a child theme, that’s your solution.

Hey webdevmattcrom,

Sorry for the delay in response. Either my notifications are getting lost in the nether or I’m not getting them. I had no idea this was here.

The idea of child themes is something I hadn’t considered cause it’s not something I typically work with. Most of mine are complete themes. You really couldn’t do much with a child theme without the parent so maybe there’s something to be said for zipping up both. However, that wouldn’t be a zip file one could just upload and apply to WordPress.

Not sure how that might work.
