Hi Voodoo,

I uninstalled and reinstalled both parent and child themes, and that fixed the issue ?? Thanks for your patience and support!

Yes, 2011 has the comment stuff working correctly. So perhaps it’s a problem with my theme itself? However, if that’s the case, how do I fix it?

Hi Voodoo,

I went ahead and changed from the child theme to the parent theme. I was able to successfully copy the settings through the copy paste method–the only thing that was not preserved was the menus (which are easy enough to set up.) However, this did not fix the issue of no text appearing in comment fields. I can go ahead and reinstall the child theme as originally planned, but I feel like if the issue was with the child theme, activating the parent theme would have fixed the issue. So I’m hesitant to go through the process of a reinstall.

Do you know any other ideas for solving the problem of the blank comment fields? That’s the only actual error I’m encountering; the error message in the theme page is annoying but I don’t think it’s actually causing any problems.

Thanks so much for all of your help, by the way. I really appreciate you sharing your time and brain power to help me solve this ??

I’ve noticed the same issue–to clarify, airtek is referring to the sidebar menu widget. It used to have arrows you could click to expand, and those arrows no longer exist. I posted about it on the official mystique forums but no response so far.

Yes, Mystique has an option where it says I can reset/backup/import theme options, and it gives me a string of gobbelgook like that I can copy-paste. I believe that I can copy-paste that to refresh my settings, but I’m kind of nervous to delete the child theme in case it screws things up ?? I guess it’s necessary, though.

So to be clear

1) I should switch to parent theme
2) I should delete child theme
3) I should upload the child theme folder back into my web host
4) I should reactivate the child theme
5) I should copy-paste the string of settings.

And that should fix things. Sound good? ?? Sorry to be so tentative; I just don’t want to inadvertently mess things up MORE

Hi Voodoo,

The theme put lots of options in my WordPress dashboard which I have customized. However, I have not done a lot of mucking about in the actual files of the theme. I’m primarily worried about losing my widget configuration, etc — would I lose that if I deleted and then reuploaded the child theme?

Never mind, I found out that it’s a compatibility issue between my theme and wordpress 3.3. Guess I’ll just have to wait for an update to my theme. Thanks all!
