Brilliant thanks forexxxgaz – that definitely sounds do-able and no Filezilla yayy

Brilliant thanks forexxxgaz – it’s really good to know how to do it easily – especially that deleting from wp-content/themes means I can then access the dashboard – that’ll save time and bucks in the future.

Is there a step by step to how to upload manually without filezilla?

Thanks Nikeo,

I’ve added via wordpress and it’s all back!

I’ll add Filezilla to my list of things to learn about but at the same time hope I never have to use it ??

I’ve just realised I’ve been trying to do it via CPanel.

I’ve downloaded FileZilla and mind blown – no way I can quickly get my head around this – have no clue what i’m doing and very frustrated.

That’s what I did first time… when I couldn’t read the content I tried creating a new file called Customizr in wp-content/themes and tried uploading again and still it won’t recognise the files unless I click on each individual files

Thanks Nikeo,

I’ve downloaded a new copy of Customizr – it’s sitting in my desktop download folder.
I found themes in public_html and deleted the customizr folder – leaving the Child file alone.

I’ve created a new folder Customizr and then clicked upload – but when I browse to file in my download folder it won’t recognise anything unless I open the unzipped customizr folder and click on an individual file e.g. comment –

What am i doing wrong?

Hi will updating this way affect Child theme? Is there anything else I need to do to ensure my Child files get updated too?
You make it sound very easy but nervous first time manual theme uploader here – hope I don’t get lost.

oh and FYI it’s not just HG – I’m using SiteGround and had the same problem

Thanks

the https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes says that

“The following example function will only work if your Parent Theme uses only one main style.css to hold all of the css. If your theme has more than one .css file (eg. ie.css, style.css, main.css) then you will have to make sure to maintain all of the Parent Theme dependencies.

your theme has 9 .css files

How do I make sure all dependencies are maintained?
What code do I need to put in the functions.php file?

Thank you very much Shawn.

Great,

Thanks Shawn that worked!

If poss could you edit your post to delete ip addresses – thank you for your help.

OK it’s finally loaded
Here’s what I have in the .htaccess file – I’ve taken out the IP addresses

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I can’t get to the files – they’re not loading.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with the host as I have another website with them and that’s working fine.

Is there anything else I could try?

Great, thanks it was a plugin.

Customize now working. Huge relief as I wouldn’t have been OK doing the rest…
