[Resolved] GP Premium requires GeneratePress to be your active theme.

[Ayoosh]

I have installed the GP premium and need to do some customization for work as per our need, few of the requirements are:

1. Having few custom widgets.
2. Customizing few styles (I know this can be done without child theme).
3. Injecting few additional CSS and JS files

I followed your guidelines and used the same child theme (https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/#installing-a-child-theme) to perform these customization, however, after using the child theme I am getting “GP Premium requires GeneratePress to be your active theme.” message. Though it seems the things are working fine and I can see the customization and other things working as expected.

I am not a WordPress expert and before moving forward, I want to make sure I am not doing any wrong step and having a child theme will not create any issue for me

Hi there,

Can you make sure the free theme is installed along with the child theme?

Yes, I installed the free theme first..purchased the GP premium, activated it and den only installed the child theme.Currently my child theme is the active theme.

What if you download and install a child theme from here without modifying it?
