Hi there, i have GP Premium and running a child theme.. All of a sudden today the site stopped working and my side bar disappeared.. I am getting a Critical error on website.. Images not loading..
When i disabled child theme and put GP on, it works.. No changes were made to anything.. This was sudden.. What's the problem as i would like to use my child theme..
Pls let me know ASAP..
Hi there,
Tough for us to tell. Child theme by itself cannot cause issues like this.
You can test with an empty one to confirm:

Did you add anything in function.php of your child theme? If so can you try removing them temporarily and identify the error?
Hi Leo, I replaced the functions.php with something that was working from a few months ago.. Right now the child theme is working but the sidebar and footers is missing completely in the "articles" or "blog" page.. I checked the layout but couldn't find anything wrong..
Looks like the home page is the blog page and I can see the sidebar:

And the footer:
