Thematic Child Theme update problems

That’s quite a long time between WordPress upgrades.

Did you also upgrade Thematic? From what version? I see that you’re now running the latest version at the time of this post (1.0.3.1)

As far as I can tell, you have a PHP error happening somewhere in your childtheme.
Can you share your childtheme’s functions.php file and/or childtheme’s templates somehow?

For instructions on how to share the code here in the forums refer to this page :

At the bottom of that section there are suggestions on how to share code.

Thank you for your fast respons.
I updated the theme before I updated WordPress. And yes I know the interval between the updates is too long and could be the problem.
Here is a link to the functions file: https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/2247643
and to the stylesheet file: https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/2247644 from the backend editor

Hope that you can help me – and thanks again for using your time on it.

Right off the bat you have a parse error on line 8:

function childtheme_content($content) {a

remove the “a” and things should start to come back together.

I’m sorry, I was not that lucky. It still does not show the blog.

Did you have any templates in your child theme?

No it is using the Thematic theme.

Line 72:
reads:

add_filter('thematic_postmeta_entrydate', 'thematic_postmeta_entrydate');

change it to :
add_filter('thematic_postmeta_entrydate', 'child_thematic_postmeta_entrydate');


Thanks very much Gene.
I’ve already localised the problem and deleated the line – but you solved it and showed me what to put instead.
So you have saved my weekend – so thanks again!

Awesome.
