Child Theme Loses All Theme Options

  • When I try to create a child theme of OnePress to do some customizations, it loses all theme options, such as the logo, hero image, colors, etc.

    Is there any way to create the child theme, at this point, without losing all of this data? Because a different, front-end dev did all the theme option setup, I would worry that I might miss some of the options if I try to manually re-do them all, and I don’t want “down-time” where the site looks like the default theme as I try to set all of those options again.

    Thanks,

    Tony

  • Hi Tony,

    In fact, we couldn’t do that. you should install child theme before set up theme customizer. It causes from OnePress child theme. When active OnePress child theme, the theme_setting is different name, so some sections will be disappeared. In this case, you need re-create these section again.

    OR you can managed to copy the theme settings to the child theme by copying the serialized option string from theme_mods_onepress to theme_mods_onepress-child ( this is in phpMyadmin database). this seems to have worked.

    Thanks, @congthien–I’ll try copying those serialized options in the DB and see how it goes.

    Just as a follow-up–that worked perfectly for me (adding database rows for the serialized options).

    Thanks for your help!
