Hi @rsouzaam,

Thank you for the response. Sadly we have been unable to really test anything for conflicts as we are currently unsure what is causing the error message to be shown. It only shows up 1-3 times a month, seemingly at random.

Thank you for your help!

In case anyone has the same problem, the issue was with how Google Analytics was set up. Not sure why, but changing that fixed my issue.

Thank you diegotheme for taking interest. Is there anyone who uses Kale theme who can shed some light on this?

Thank you for taking interest. Unfortunately, the site is under local development so I am unable to send you the URL.

I was going to send you the link to the kale theme live preview, but it does not have any dropdown menus to look at!

Ok, it seems that I have fixed the issue. The bottom line is that when I added the PHP function for google analytics into functions.php in my child theme, I had a syntax error.

At the end of the function that enqueues the parent style, there is a closing PHP tag.

The next function that I added (via copy & paste) contained opening and closing PHP tags as well. There needed to be only 1 opening and 1 closing PHP tag on the document, so I removed the closing tag from the 1st function and the opening tag from the 2nd and now I’m back to normal with functioning styles and google analytics.

Maybe this will be helpful:

If I change the name of the theme folder, I can log in to wordpress. I can then change the name of the theme folder back to its correct name and continue to work in wordpress, but the moment I click “update” on a page, I get the white screen.

Hmmmm. That didn’t take. Great suggestion though.

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

Thank you for your response. It makes sense to me since I have this plugin active and working normally on another site. I have already moved to a different gallery plugin, but I do still have this plugin running on another site and would like to use it again in the future for other sites. Can you tell me what permission level the photo gallery folder and the images inside should be in order to work properly without compromising security? Thank you.

Well, you can start there if you want, but be sure to read up and really understand what the info in that link is talking about. Permissions help keep your site safe, so don’t leave any doors open that don’t need to be.

Venesh,

My problem was that my FTP program changed the permissions on a lot of things when I uploaded my local site to my server. My solution was to navigate to the folders that contained the images that appeared to be broken and change the permissions so that the user could access (view) them.

It is important to not allow too much access – read this:

I have now created a new child theme, and done it correctly. the only files in my child theme folder are a stylesheet with bare minimum contents, a functions.php with the bare minimum contents, some page templates I made, and an images folder. The theme works fine with a few styling hiccups I can fix later.

Unfortunately, I’m still having the original problem. for example, I have this code on one of my pages:

<div id="test">
This is a yellow box
</div>

with this in my css:

#test {
width:300px;
height: 300px;
background-color:yellow;
}

and all that shows on my site is the text “This is a yellow box” what other issues might cause this behavior?

Ok so I acknowledge that the right thing to do would be to start over and get my child theme right in the first place. Let’s continue on in the spirit of learning new things and exploring new ideas – Since I copied the entire parent theme and all of its contents – it is a theme that can stand on its own, correct? Shouldn’t I be able to just remove the parent theme, which would remove any conflicts I may be having?

Well immediately I’m looking for CSS overrides, but long term I’m trying to use every opportunity to learn and grow my skills and knowledge. I’m not making a blog for my grandma, I’m having a go at a career. I don’t want to take shortcuts for instant gratification, I want to absorb everything I can so that someday I can be more like you!

So, its a copy and paste situation? I thought I had to replace some of that info with my own, and I couldn’t figure out what was supposed to stay, and what was supposed to be interchangeable for my information.

When I say that my theme has multiple stylesheets, let me be clear: there is a main style.css document with all php page documents. In that same level there is a folder called “css” that has other stylesheets labeled “responsive”, “nivo-lightbox”, jquery.bxslider” etc. I don’t know if this is what you mean by “multiple stylesheet themes” or not.
