    Hello ~

    I would like to use Child Theme Configurator to create a child theme for an existing MH Purity Lite site that I inherited that was built without a child theme. I would love any advice you could offer on this topic.

    Also, when I tried to get started, CTC said:

    “The theme “MH Purity lite” generated unexpected PHP debug output.

    Please contact this Theme’s author and report the items inside the box above. You may or may not be able to use this Theme as a Child Theme while these conditions exist.”

    {
  "parnt": {
    "deps": [
      [
        [
          "mh-font-awesome",
          "includes/font-awesome.min.css"
        ]
      ],
      [
        [
          "mh-style",
          "style.css"
        ]
      ]
    ],
    "signals": {
      "failure": 0,
      "err_php": 1,
      "thm_parnt_loaded": "mh-style"
    },
    "queue": [
      "formidable",
      "isell-style",
      "wordfenceAJAXcss",
      "wspsc-style",
      "multi-color-sub",
      "mh-google-fonts",
      "mh-font-awesome",
      "mh-style",
      "mbdb-styles",
      "mbdb-book-grid-styles",
      "jetpack_css",
      "ctc-test",

      "noticons"
    ],
    "irreg": [

    "url": "https://beccalawton.com/?preview_ctc=375a51945a&template=mh-purity-lite&stylesheet=mh-purity-lite&now=1490476543"
  },

  • Hi Jess888,

    thanks for using MH Purity lite.

    We can’t tell you why the plugin does what it does because for us it doesn’t really make sense. If you need further information, you would need to contact the plugin developer as we haven’t developed this plugin and can’t support it.

    By the way, creating a child theme isn’t a big deal and you usually don’t need a plugin for that. We basically recommend to not use a plugin so that you exactly know what you’re doing while creating the child theme.

    Here you can find more information about creating child themes in WordPress:

    Please also keep in mind that you only need a child theme if you are familiar with coding and in case you want to modify the code of your theme. And if you are familiar with coding, you shouldn’t have any issues creating the child theme without a plugin.

    If you’re not familiar with coding and just want to use your theme, you don’t need a child theme at all.
