Child theme leads to “Page not found 404 error”
-
I wanted to add a little snippet to the function.php so I downloaded Ocean Extra and installed OceanWP Child Theme. However, now all pages are showing as “Not Found” and I have no idea why. I removed the snippet of code I added and it still won’t work so I know it is the child theme. Can anybody help me understand why this is happening?

Hi @skalanter , I have narrowed down the problem somewhat.
Using OceanWP Child Theme– when a user is logged in, they see the “Page not found” message for all pages. When logged out the pages are there and visible. So I thought it could be to do with my page visibility and user settings. However…
Using OceanWP– when logged in, they see all pages perfectly fine. When logged out, they see all pages perfectly fine.
Therefore, I know it is to do with the child theme being active and the fact that users are logged in. Does this offer a better insight into my problem?
Okay @skalanter , thanks. I have removed all customisation and now I can view the website as normal when logged in (phew). Thank you for your help. It must have been the code snippet I tried adding, do you have any idea why the below code would cause such an upset to the themes function.php?
/ limit post display to post author (excludes admins) function shapeSpace_set_only_author($query) { global $current_user; if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) { $query->set(‘author’, $current_user->ID); } } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘shapeSpace_set_only_author’);
Best
