The issue occurs when you update wordpress. I solved the problem by downgrading the wordpress core back down to 4.8.3 (using a plugin called “downgrade”), and now the advanced twenty-seventeen plugin works perfectly!

A word of warning though – you need to be careful when downgrading the wordpress installation as you can easily break your site. I suggest disabling all plugins before you do this and making a full backup before you start. Also while this fixes the problem for now it commits you to freezing wordpress at 4.8.3 which is not so good in the long run.

I’ve tried looking at the website for the developer, Saturn Plugins, but come up with a blank page, so I’ve no idea if we can expect a fix for the plugin to make it work with the latest wordpress version. Which is a shame because it is a brilliant plugin when it is fully functional

Its a plugin not a theme

Thanks for that!

Thanks for your response

I downloaded from here:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/advanced-twenty-seventeen/#description

I tried to install it on a number of sites, with the same result

I have the exact same problem. Also with changing the colour for menu items

Thanks for replying!

I just checked dnscheck and there were no problems apart from something to do with email(?)
I really should learn how to create a child theme (which I’m sure I can manage!). However the theme I am using is called “Holi” which is a derivative of twenty thirteen. If I create a child theme for twenty thirteen then I need to get the Holi theme to look for that rather than the original, if that make sense?
I don’t think I have removed or changed any styles though, I removed comments php because I didn’t want this functionality, is all…
