Baseline Pack from North Theme Breaks After Avtivating Child Theme

Hi all,

I installed the Baseline pack from here successfully. I wanted to create a child theme from it and used a couple of plugins for this: “Child Theme Configurator” and “One-Click Child Theme”.

In both cases, when the child theme was activated the Baseline home page breaks. for instance, the logo disappears as well as the bottom menu.

Looking in to this issue, I found out a post to download a ready made child theme. The file is called “JrBaf.zip.” I installed it as a regular theme and it brought up a message that it was able to found its parent but when I activate the child the same exact problem get on the way.

Help please, thank you!

    Hi J,

    Please try adding the following PHP to your child theme’s functions.php:

    function north_child_enqueue_parent_style() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'north-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'north_child_enqueue_parent_style', 8 );

    Alternatively, please try this child theme.

    Hey Alex,

    None of them worked. I installed the zip file first and this was the output: “Installing Theme from uploaded file: MML26.zip
    Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… This theme requires a parent theme. Checking if it is installed… The parent theme, SiteOrigin North 1.3.4, is currently installed. Theme installed successfully.”

    Tried it and the theme breaks as before, then edited the functions.php file with same results.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi J,

    Wait, I misunderstood – sorry! Okay, so basically WordPress won’t carry over the customizer settings to the child theme automatically which explains why theme settings haven’t carried over. You’ll need to manually move them over via a plugin like Unfavorite Customizer Export/Import Download Customizer Export/Import.

    Once installed, activate the parent theme and navigate to AppearanceCustomize, Export/Import and export your settings. Then please activate a child theme you wish to use and navigate to AppearanceCustomize, Export/Import and import your settings. How does that look?

    Holy Moses! It worked perfectly, thanks. I wish I knew 0.1% of what you know Alex… someday, someday.

    Thanks again, I appreciate your help.
