impossible to create child theme

Hi @albeaumont that definitely sounds odd.

To be able to investigate a little further it would help to have a bit more information.

• Could you please let me know the steps you’re following to create the child plugin?
• What happens when you follow those steps? is there an error of some kind? Or just no result?
• What is the Parent theme you’re using, to create the child of?

Hello,

first i go in Apparence > Create block theme > Create child of Catch FSE > “Generate”
Parent theme i’m using : catch FSE

• there is no result at all or “zip generation failure”

thanks for your help

Best regards

Thank you for the additional details, @albeaumont. It sounds like this could be coming from a conflict with your theme OR a server configuration issue. To confirm this, could you try these two things?

• Activate Twenty Twenty-Three and try to create a child theme on your personal site.
• Create a free site on https://instawp.com and try to create the child theme using your current “catch FSE” theme.

That should help us narrow the problem down to either on thing or the other.

Hello, when i activate 2023 theme on my personal site : create child theme doesn’t work

but if i create a free site on https://instawp and use catch fse it works

so it seems to be my server configuration…

Hey @albeaumont – thanks for troubleshooting that. It does definitely sound like it’s something to do with your server config – which makes it difficult to guess what it might be without further details.

The next thing I can think of would be to check your server logs to see if there is any kind of error occurring around the time you tried creating the theme.

Should this be marked resolved?

I’ll mark this as resolved – as it appears any issues are with the server setup, rather than the plugin itself ??
