Trouble with child theme not loading other pages

  • Hello,

    I am having trouble with my maya child theme not loading other pages. The only page that loads ok is the Home page.

    I am able to make css changes to my page. I am guessing it may have something to do with my functions.php file, however I am unsure.

    Currently my wordpress child theme folder has:

    style.css (import coding, plus style modifications, this works)
    function.php (Has no coding inside)
    header.php (I have modified this file, it appears to work)
    woocommerce files

    From reading online, it seems like there does not need to be content in the function.php for it to work correctly (when in child them), is this true.

    I appreciate any help.

    Regards,

    Jamie

  • Your right about function.php being blank, because unlike other files it is loaded in addition to the parent theme’s function.php

    I didn’t get what you meant by theme not loading on other pages, is it showing in a different manner, may be the page template your looking for isn’t set right on those pages.

    Hello Alex, thanks for your response.

    This is a link to my website https://www.jksastrology.com

    Once you have clicked on this website, you will notice you are unable to navigate to other pages (for example, contact or about me). An error occurs:

    “Not Found
    The requested URL /aboutme/ was not found on this server.”

    However, I am able to navigate OK if I activate the parent maya theme. This problem is only unique to the child theme. Any ideas to what may be wrong?

    Hi sorry missed replying earlier.

    I’m not sure about this but it seems like there is an issue with the URL rewrite or something to do with your .htaccess file.

    I would suggest turning permalinks off and then back on. if that doesn’t help turn off permalinks and delete the .htaccess file for your root and then turn permalinks back on and see if the issue persists.

    Why I feel this issue is about the permalinks.
    When I access https://jksastrology.com/?p=2 it redirects to https://jksastrology.com/aboutme/ and show me the server default 404 error page. and if I type https://jksastrology.com/?p=6 (a non existing page) I get the 404 error page from the WordPress theme your using.
