    Hi,

    I seem to have ran into a child theme problem. Never seen it before.

    Situation: clean install of WP5.0.1 + GeneratePress + GP Premium. I created a GeneratePress child theme with the template for child themes provided in your documentation.

    Now the following happens:

    • After uploading the child theme I get a notification that the child theme needs to be updated from version 0.1 to 1.0.
    • After completing the update, the site is inaccessible (= blank).
    • Removing the files of the child theme makes the site accessible again.

    Is this a GeneratePress problem or a WP 5 problem with child themes?

    Hi there,

    Not sure why you are getting notification to update the child theme as there isn’t any changes in the child theme.

    I just installed a brand new child theme and not getting the notification.

    Can you try #1 here to eliminate any plugin conflicts first with the child theme (0.1) activated?

    Thanks for your answer.

    • Deactivated plugins: problem was still there
    • Created a new client theme from scratch: problem gone

    Strange, there are no differences between the files of the two child themes. Maybe something went wrong with the zipping of the files.
