    Tesseract is known to crash with a Fatal Error when used as a child theme, whether using CTC or otherwise.

    To back out of a broken theme you have to manually rename the offending theme directory name (via FTP, SSH or your web host control panel file manager) so that WordPress cannot find it. WordPress will then throw an error and revert back to the default theme (for WP 4.7 this is “Twenty Seventeen”).

    The child theme is in your themes folder, usually

    [path/to/wordpress]/wp-content/themes/[child-theme]

    To prevent this in the future, always test your child themes with Live Preview before activating them.

    Thanks you for your reply, appreciate your help.

    I’ve gone ahead and renamed the “Tesseract-Child” to “Tesseract-Child-Broken” via FTP but the issue is still unresolved. Is there anything else I can try?

    Thanks
