Unable to use existing child theme with alpha 3.0 release
6 replies · Started by Deepak on September 7, 2020
Hello,
I had installed generatepress child theme using
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
which was working before updating to 3.0
Now all my CSS class from style.css doesn't seem to work.
Do I need to change anything? For now I am using the CSS customizer but I don't want to blat my html with alot of inline css.
Regards
Deepak
Hi there,
Is the child theme still active? I'm not seeing any reference to a child theme in your HTML source.
Let me know :)
dummy me :)
Didn't realise after updating the theme to 3.0, the child theme got de-activated.
Thanks
Deepak
Ok, I realised the problem
As soon as I make any change in Custom CSS and Publish
The active theme changes from Child theme to generatepress on its own.
I don't think that's correct?
Here I have created a short video of this change:

Strange, what happens if you refresh the Customizer after you change to the child theme? Looks like the Customizer was loaded when the parent theme was active and saved when the child theme was active.
After refresh yes the changes are intact. :)
But I will continue to test some more and update here if any issues related to child theme.
Regards
Deepak
Thank you! Really appreciate it :)
