That part of the workflow is new in this release and wasn’t really broadcast, since I was rushing to get anything that worked at all out as soon as I could. My apologies.

For screenshots, I usually use https://www.getcloudapp.com/ and paste a link in the ticket. https://imgur.com/ is also a popular choice for sharing images.

Could you please confirm that the link is not present in the theme action links when you click a theme to open up the modal detail view? I had to move the links in 3.8 because there wasn’t enough room in the collapsed view. I haven’t gotten around to updating the screenshots yet, but here’s a quick one I just took.

If they’re not showing up there, then I’ll investigate the issue and try to figure out what’s causing it.

Thanks!

Thanks! I will look into the updater issue you’ve described…

Hi kevjon,

The plugin was indeed incompatible with WP 3.8. I released an update today that fixes the plugin so it works with 3.8 now. Could you please test again to see if you can reproduce the bug with the newer version (1.0.2)?

Thanks!

Just wanted to let you know that I released an update today that fixes the plugin with WP 3.8. ??

Just bumped the new version to add compatibility with 3.8.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry it took so long to get it out!

Awesome! ??

I’m happy to hear you were able to resolve the issue. If you wouldn’t mind, could you please let me know which theme you’re using? I’d still like to take all look and see if I can’t find a way to fix these issues before they happen.

Thanks!

Hi,

The plugin, at this time, does only create the style.css file. I have plans to implement optional creation of overrides for files in the template theme, but I haven’t done that yet. To better be able to figure out what’s going on, could you please tell me what theme you are trying to extend with a child theme? The solution could be something very straightforward that I can add to Child Themify to fix the issue.

Also, I’m not sure what you mean when you say “it was in the themes folder and not in the folder of the theme I created, which was completely empty.” Did you create a directory and then run “Child Themify”? The plugin determines the name of the folder to put the style.css file in based on the name provided when you create the child theme.

What you’ve described sounds to me like the plugin is functioning as intended at this point. The reason it doesn’t copy any PHP files is because every theme is different; some themes don’t check to see if their functions are already defined; so if I copied those files to the new theme, it would cause a fatal error and bring the site down for everybody. The minimum requirement for a child theme is the style.css file, so that is what my plugin adds. Everything else would be too much of an assumption for me to make.

Hi Lori,

I’ll take a look at the theme when I have a chance (I saw it’s in the repo, so it’s pretty easy). That’s too bad that it wasn’t able to be extended with a child theme with my plugin. It could be that there is a very simple fix that I could incorporate into the plugin. If so, I’d love to, since I want my plugin to as useful as possible to anybody who wants to use it.

I think trying to get as wide support as possible for officially hosted repositories would be a good start. ??
