Lost ALL customization w/ child theme AND no longer wide container option???

    I am actually panicking because I just lost every ounce of customization on my site on the day where we had the most foot traffic. For hours my website looked AWFUL. It just disappeared. Everything. I spent the past hour franticly putting my site back together, but the big thing I cannot get back together is the page width — my site will NOT go back to having a wide page width so all of my articles look HORRIBLE now. I want wide page width with a sidebar. In the customizer, when I click “wider page width” it changes NOTHING.

    I am using Coeur, but more importantly, I am using a child theme — this is NOT supposed to be happening with a child theme! Please, does ANYONE have any idea what is going on and how I can get my site not to look like a horrid mess while I have the most foot traffic ever coming through??

    The most crucial thing right now is to get my page back to the wide option. This has actually ruined the entire look of my website. Please, does anyone have a clue as to what might have happened??

    Thanks guys

    Update: I didn’t actually update COEUR on my server, so I switched over from Coeur child theme to the 2.0.8 old version, and I’m having the same issue with page width. I cannot get my pages back to their wider width option, which is chosen when I go to customizer > layout > container width > wider width site.

    Does anyone know what happened to this theme?? I am perplexed by the fact that one of its basic function (container width) is gone…and I’m upset that it took the cosmetic aspects of my site down with it. I don’t want to change any of the articles to make them look right with this issue because I would like to have the issue resolved and, in the mean time, don’t want to COMPLETELY ruin my site by changing every picture size.

    Hello Kendra,

    Here is how you can fix all these issues, please ask for further help if there’s anything you want me to clarify.

    This bit is a little tricky, do not hesitate to ask if you need my help:
    – open this path from your FTP client: wp-content > themes > coeur > framework > customizer
    – open file customizer.php
    – go to line 135 and replace this bit of code: <?php self::generate_css(‘.container’, ‘width’, ‘container_width’); ?>
    – by this one:
    .container {
    width: <?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘container_width’, ‘970px’ ) ?>;
    }
    – In the end your line 134 to 138 should look like this:
    @media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .container {
    width: <?php echo get_theme_mod( ‘container_width’, ‘970px’ ) ?>;
    }
    }
    – Upload the new file to your install

    Sorry about the customization settings: Coeur was recoded from top to bottom to make the it more reliable, faster and mostly to make it easier to maintain. I can ensure you now that Coeur has been rebuilt on a good foundation, that the next updates will be applied smoothly and should not alter your settings.
    Additionally, I’ll submit a new update to www.remarpro.com tonight, it’ll only contain these 2 changes. Feel free to update without risking anything when it’s made available.

    Thanks again for your feedback,
    Please mark this topic as resolved if this fixed the problem.
