I finally worked it out. I had an index.php file in the child folder for some reason (I’m guessing I copied it in there by mistake). I didn’t list this is my posts above which you may have pointed out. Anyway once I deleted this file everything is working fine now. Thanks for all your help. All resolved, cheers.

OK I had a look around

error_log for child theme
There are no recent reported errors from within the last month. The last reported errors are memory exhuasted errors from a plugin not related to my blog/posts. I increased my server memory allocation awhile ago.

error log on root
displays only one error from January
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in child theme
404.php on line 10

error log in plugin folder
I can’t see a error_log there??

Hi v.late reply but I was away on holidays.

Yes with the Twenty Eleven parent theme activated and nothing else changed, the post page appears.

I am using the latest version of WP 3.9.2

I am an assortment of child theme files
– content, functions, footer, index, instrument hooks, sidebar, sidebar page, single, style

I tried deleting these php child files one by one but it made no difference.

Could there be a problem in the database somewhere?

Thanks for you help

Great thanks for your help. I couldn’t find the error log but I managed to turn on wp_debug and I got the following errors on my posts page. Are there any errors here that could be causing it?

Hi thanks for the reply.

how do I get that custom header in 2011?

do you have any links/tutorials on how I get this working, cheers?

here is a link to the 2013 theme if you need to have a look

that works, thanks for your help, cheers

Hi thanks for the reply.

Unfortunatly that setting effects the number of posts displayed on the post page as well. I would like to independantly alter the number of posts displayed in the showcase list. Is this possible? I thought there might be some way to limit this in the template?

anyone?

solved this one. Just inserted <?php get_sidebar(); ?> above <?php get_footer(); ?> in the showcase template (showcase.php). For some reason I tried this the other day and it didnt work. Must have pasted the sidebar below footer.

excellent it works. Thought it might have something to do with z-index but didnt know where to start. cheers
