child theme not loading

[dsg257]

Hi i am in the process of loading a new website and have tried a number of times to load a child theme

but from what i see in the customizer or weaver xtreme admin it tries to load but does not actually load

I get  the “are you sure you want to select a new theme?” click yes and get a quick screen refresh but sub theme not loaded

how can i load the sub theme properly to make changes

thanks

I too had similar issues when first setting up a Child Theme, so I used a plugin which did it for me.

I then deleted the plugin as it was no longer needed.

It was all so long ago now, I have no idea of which one I used, but there are a few to choose from.

That said, it is best to have your database backed ready before you start, so you can quickly undo it if needed.

Or you can do as I now do, and set it all up on my desktop pc using XAMPP, and then simply copy the final working version over to the server.

Regards!
