Thanks!

@t-p

It would be good it the thread can remain open for a while, in case someone adds something.

@kjodle Thanks a lot!

I’l have a look at your themes ??

@t-p Thanks!

@kjodle

Cheers! For now I prefer the manual way. It’s working so far!

@kjodle

Good to know ?? Thanks!

Though i am looking to do more customization in this specific theme; and through the customizer isn’t the best way.
Have you developed a child theme and added css to style.css successfully?

Anything i should have in mind?

@t-p

Is it wipe out safe? When doing a theme upgrade?

Still style.css is supposed to work, so i will try find how? ??

@t-p

I already a have a child theme!
But the website is not being affected by the css code in style.css
This is the problem i described!

– Have you got any idea why?

– Also from what i remember reading; having the css in Customizer/Additional CSS is not the best way as you can loose it upon upgrading. I am right?

@sterndata

I also prefer the manual route for everything!

At this moment, I exceptionally have “Better Search Replace”, as i needed it to fix something, and move from http to https; and “WP Mail SMTP”. That’s it!

@sterndata

Followed the manual way:
https://techblog.kjodle.net/2014/04/12/wordpress-child-themes-the-whys-and-hows/#What_if_I8217ve_already_made_changes_to_my_original_theme

Did a WinMerge compare for the style.css copying only the changed css, and putting (altered files entirely, and respective directories) in the child theme dir.
Apart from NOT being able to access pages which now are broken on father and child themes; everything looks ok!

I use the method outlined in the codex to create child themes.

Meaning you start a child theme right from the beginning, with a clean father theme?

You never did anything manually or used Child Theme Configuration plugin after changing the father theme?
Asking because of your experience.

@sterndata @subrataemfluence

I read https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes carefully, and think i understood it!

I know a child theme should be done right from the start, but since i already modified the parent theme; what method you recommend?

1) Child Theme Configurator plugin
2) https://techblog.kjodle.net/2014/04/12/wordpress-child-themes-the-whys-and-hows/#What_if_I8217ve_already_made_changes_to_my_original_theme

I avoid using plugins, unless strictly necessary; although some are really ingenious.
Have you used method 1 or 2, and can recommend me the best approach?

@subrataemfluence Thanks Subrata!

Cache clearing didn’t work!

I’ll look at the article you sent, more deeply, and see if i can solve the issue; but as https://prntscr.com/hzo8rs is all i have, it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with a solution ??

@sterndata Thanks Steve!

The error log has been showing in the public_html folder, but right now it’s not; plus i usually delete it!

– wp_debug and wp_debug_log enabled! Nothing in wp-content!

– No need to activate Twenty themes! When i activate onetone theme it works! When i activate onetone_child it doesn’t.

– Disabled the two plugins i had active and problem persists!

I suspect functions.php needs extra code or the folder needs extra files.
I only have these as i mentioned ?? https://prntscr.com/hzo8rs

Error https://prntscr.com/hzpq6c

Actually, the plugin i used was, “Better Search Replace”.
I fixed this problem, and activated “https” with it.

Great!
When are you planning the next upgrade?

I did that. It worked!
