Child Theme Problem

  • Child theme has problem with the Template parts. After creating, none of the pages display a header or a footer or any other template parts. And in editor, block show message “Template part has been deleted or is unavailable: header/footer/etc.”

    All Template parts need to be manual inserted again on all Templates.

  • I have also created a child theme. But i don’t have headers and footers on the pages at all.
    I’am on greenshift version 2.3.6. Have you solved you’re problem?

    Are there other people having issues with child theme for greenshift?

    I have used the Create Block Theme plugin and now everything is working!

    I faced the same issue, and WPsoul (the author) suggested using a plugin (simple and less risky) instead of a child theme. I followed their advice, and it worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps! Here’s the exact response from them:

    *Hi. Using child theme for FSE creates more problems than solves them, because in this case, you must also add a custom theme.json.

    So, for PHP editing, it’s better to use a plugin. You can download a clean plugin here: https://greenshiftwp.com/how-to-add-custom-php-functions-to-the-site-without-a-child-theme/*”

    Create Block Theme does not create file function.php, and that is one of the reasons why I use Child theme. This file should be added manually afterward.

    Overall, FSE Child theme needs theme.json, even so with that file, I occasionally had a problem.
    Plugin Create Block Theme creates a theme.json, and that is why you did not have a problem with Template parts.

    I will link Support Threads from Neve FSE. This theme also has the same problem.

    “for PHP editing, it’s better to use a plugin.” well it’s not, but that’s not the topic of this discussion.
    Through the Child theme, both PHP and CSS can be used directly from the file editor or with VS Code or similar software.
