Child theme doesn't work

Hi there!

I’ve just created a child theme of arcade basic and I’m not having the problems you described.

Did you follow these steps when creating your child theme?

1. Create a new folder in the themes directory called arcade-basic-child

2. Create a style.css file within that folder containing the following code:

/*
 Theme Name:   Arcade Basic Child
 Description:  Arcade Basic Child Theme
 Template:     arcade-basic
 Text Domain:  arcade-basic-child
*/

3. Create a functions.php file within that folder containing the following code:

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

4. Activate your child theme (Appearance -> Themes)

You can read more about child themes here or watch a tutorial here.

I hope that helps!

Hi Luke,
thanks for quick support!
Before I haven’t had the folder functions.php, so I completed it with your suggested code. The style is ok now and the sites appear as they should :))

BUT still the menu is not complete. In the backend it shows the menu in the right line.
But in the frontend only two menu buttons instead of six :((

Any idea how to solve it?

Thanks again ??

Hi there!

That sounds strange ?? Can you post a link to your site and maybe we can find a solution.

Cheers,

Hi,
the link to the discussed site is https://www.izis.de
It runs with the arcade basic theme (not the child theme).
As soon as I activate the child theme, 4 points of the menu disappear in the frontend. In the backend everything appears normally. That’s really strange…
I would like to send you a screen shot of it. To which email adress can I send it to?

Uppps, I have found the problem now :))
I had to choose one of the menus in menu settings. Before I didn’t recognise it…
So no to do’s for you anymore.
Thank you for having a critical look at it.
Bye for now!

Thank you so much daftduke.

I have had the same issues with 2 child themes ex: parabola and twentyfifteen as before I never know that I had to add also a functions.php file with the code you provided, but now it works perfectly fine, thanks to your help and the functions.php file ??

Thanks again
