Where did it go?

  • Hi there,

    I came across your ‘so EZ-2-use’ plugin after I had trouble with another CT plugin on my WP multisite installation in dev.

    It worked like a charm on the mainsite and in subsite1. After that I until the upgraded to WP 4.2.4. When I went to another subsite(2), activated this plugin, tried out the Eco-Green theme, activated it, then went to create a child, I realized that the Childify Me button was nowhere to be found in the Theme Customizer! Nor was it present as it should be in the Theme Preview window.

    So, I tried this:
    1) Double checked the plugin was activated in subsite2. check
    2) Deactivated the other CT plugin in subsite2. check
    3) Cleared out the FF40 browser cache and re-logged in as Network Admin.
    4) Went back to Theme Customizer Options in subsite2 to see if it was now there- NO!
    5) Chose to Live Preview another theme in subsite2 to see if the options showed up in that one- nope!
    6) Went back to the network main site, chose to Live Preview another theme to see if the options showed up in that one- YES!
    7) Went back to subsite1, chose to Live Preview another theme to see if plugin option appeared in the Theme Customizer- YES!
    8) Decided to deactivate your plugin, delete it from the network, then reinstall it.
    8) I network activated it, then again activated it subsite2.
    9) Chose not one but 2 other themes to Live Preview on subsite2.
    9b)RESULT- Childify Me options do not show up on any Live Previewed theme in subsite2!
    10) Thought hard about slitting my wrists with a rusty knife, for all of about 20 sec.
    11) Decided to post here for an answer before slitting my wrists.

    Please help me out here! I dont really want to self-harm.

    Hello gastronimo,
    I’m sorry I cannot help you at the moment, I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my own.
    So it works on subsite 1 but not on subsite2 and in subsite2 they’re still parent themes, right?

    I will look into it in the next hours.
    So don’t slit your wrists till I give you the OK ??

    Right, subsite2 has only parent theme, cause I cant create a child yet.

    Thanks for the reply!

    You know, I think its the Eco-Green Responsive Premium WP theme I’m using, it doesn’t even include a child theme. Maybe it doesn’t support them! Is that possible?

    Dunno, I cannot test that premium theme :/
    The button should still show up,

    I’m trying to reproduce the issue but no luck for now.
    What you can do is trying another theme on your subsite2 and see if you can “childify” it, so we can understand there’s a problem with that theme.

    Technically any theme can have a child-theme, and build it up isn’t that hard.
    It’s just a folder with a style.css which points to the parent, and optionally a functions.php on which you might want to enqueue the parent’s style (you can do also this with @import directive in CSS – which is what this plugin does).
    So you might do it manually:

    I did already try out 2 other parent themes on subsite2, neither showed the CT button.

    I will try the manual route, thanks anyway!
