And my site design has broken.😭😭
I have followed this guide to reinstall child theme but when I upload the .zip file. I'm getting this error:
Installing Theme from uploaded file: generatepress_child.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists. /home/androj6m/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/
Theme installation failed.
I'm also getting another an error here Appearance > Themes which is: Broken Themes The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Please help me as soon as possible how do I fix this.
Hi there,
I believe that happens if you modify your child theme name.
Is your previous child theme still listed under Appearance > Themes?
If it's not then I would recommend restoring a backup file from your server.
Usually servers have auto backup so it might be worth checking with your host.
Let me know :)
Hello Leo,
I have never changed the name, and I do not remember when I have modified the name of my child theme.
There is no exist previous child theme under Appearance > Themes.
And why I see this error: Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.

How do I take restoring a backup from the server? Can you send me a guide to take backup? And after restoring the backup file from server how do I fix this.
Every host has different procedures to restore backup which is why I suggested checking with your host support.
We can take a closer look at the issue after it's been restored successfully :)
What should I restore a full backup or Child theme file? And
after restoration backup, what procedures to fix this.
I don't think you can restore just the child theme file but if you can, that might work.
If not then try a full restore.
Have you checked with your host yet?
Let's take look if the issue still exists after you restore it.
Also I just checked your site and everything seems normal? I can still see the child theme.
I have taken a full backup. Please help now what to do next.
I have also reached there where my child theme have listed in the host Control panel. Please have a look at the attached picture of a listed child theme And now can you tell me please what to do next?

Open that generatepress_child folder and open the style.css file.
Then make sure the header at the top of the file matches the one found in here: http://generatepress.com/api/themes/generatepress_child.zip
The header is everything commented out at the top of the file.
It sounds like the header info is broken in your child theme.
Let me know :)
Yes, header information by mistake deleted when I was keeping my style sheet file here to putting it in Additional CSS.
Tom, after hearing your great sound, I copied the header information from the child theme of my other site and pasted it here now the site is working fine.
I have another question when I open my site in opera mini browser for mobile devices than the site is looking broken.
Please help me on how to how to fix that.
Thank You
