The update ruined my website.

Hello, how to correctly update the theme?
I have some code changes, added social networks, statistics, and online chat. This may influence the update?
Also in the translation of the theme : the error is the same: in the Russian version, there were any changes when you upgrade the theme?

Hi,
The templates and the hook structure have been modified in v3.0.10. Check the template files (index.php, header.php, footer.php, comments.php) to adapt your child theme if needed.

Hi Nic,

Would request you to address my issue.

Sudeep Acharya

Hi Sudeep,
This looks like an incorrect database setting in your wp-config.php file.

Hi Nic,

Maybe I was not clear.
After adding the code in functions.php provided by you it shows the error otherwise it’s fine.

Regards,
Sudeep Acharya

Nikeo’s code has nothing to do with the database. You either have altered config.php or you’ve placed nikeo’s code outside php markup. Please quote the contents of your functions.php of your child theme and we’ll tell you what’s wrong.

Hello,

Now it has worked, I must have inserted the code at wrong place but I also want to remove this folder and the title.

Regards,
Sudeep Acharya.

This is another strange issue,it is working in the functions.php of the parent theme but not working in the child theme.

Kindly help.

This is the code in functions.php of the child theme which is not working.

[ Moderator note: use the backtick or code button nor blockqoute. ]

I’ve deleted your wp-config.php post since you posted live actual passwords in that file.

That’s never a good idea and you really should consider changing those passwords.

Also did you copy the entire Customizr fuctions.php file? Generally speaking that’s not a good idea at all.

functions.php of the child theme does not render functions.php of the parent inactive, it just comes as an addition to the parent’s version. They are both active at the same time and that means you can’t have duplicate code in them or you get severe php errors.
This is all well described and documented in Child themes documentation.

Therefore, the functions.php of a child theme should look like this when the theme has just been created:

<?php

?>

In your case, since you don’t have any previously defined function in your child theme, it should look like this (I added nikeo’s code from above).

<?php
add_filter( 'tc_category_header', 'my_category_header' );
function my_category_header($html) {
	?>
	 <header class="archive-header">
        <h1 class="format-icon">
        	<span><?php echo single_cat_title( '' , false )?></span>
        </h1>

        <?php if ( category_description() ) : // Show an optional category description ?>
          <div class="archive-meta"><?php echo category_description(); ?></div>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </header><!-- .archive-header -->
     <?php
}
// In the future, add new functions right after this line, but before the last one, that closes the php markup

?>

Should work like a charm.

@ Jan – Oh! so sorry for that…thank you for deleting the post and will take care in future.

@acub-Thanks a lot,yes it did work like a charm.

I just need one more customisation- how to hide this red folder.
Please refer to the page.

Sudeep Acharya

Go to Customiz’it! panel in the backend (the blue button in the bar). Open the Custom CSS tab and input:

.archive.category .archive-header .format-icon:before { content: ""; }

If you want to remove all the icons from the theme, not just the one for .archive.category, input this code:

#main-wrapper .format-icon:before { content: ""; }

If you want to change their color, change the theme color from the Customiz’it! dashboard section or add this code in the Custom CSS tab:

#main-wrapper .format-icon:before { color: #ddd; }

#ddd is just a random custom color here, you can change it to any other valid html color code.

And, by the way, if you have more questions that are not related to the original request, you should open new threads, so they get properly indexed and other users benefit from the answers.
