Archive links broken when using child theme

  • I set up a child theme which, at the moment, contains very sparse style.css and functions.php files. With the child theme loaded, the archive links on the left sidebar take you to a blank page. Click on a month (ie June 2014) the browser is redirected to website.com/2014/06 but the page is blank.

    If I change to the Dusk to Dawn theme itself, not the child theme, the links work.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi there, can you post what is in your functions.php file here for us to look at? Place it between code tags.

    Hi sacredapth,
    My functions.php file:

    <?php
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_styles' );

    function my_enqueue_styles() {

    /* If using a child theme, auto-load the parent theme style. */
    if ( is_child_theme() ) {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' );
    }

    /* Always load active theme's style.css. */
    wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
    }
    ?>

    Hi there, this is the code I’d recommend to enqueue your child theme’s styles, instead of what you posted above:

    <?php

function dusktodawn_child_enqueue_child() {
	wp_register_style( 'dusk-to-dawn', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'dusk-to-dawn-child', get_stylesheet_uri(), array( 'dusk-to-dawn' ) );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dusktodawn_child_enqueue_child' );

    This assumes your parent theme folder is called dusk-to-dawn and your child theme folder is called dusk-to-dawn-child. If they’re named something else, just replace the above references with your own folder names.

    I tested a Dusk to Dawn child theme with an archives widget and it works fine. Let me know how it goes.
