Thanks for the information Pratik.

Thanks Pratik. I suppose I was under the false impression that making a child theme safe-guarded against losing changes when the parent theme was updated. I don’t think I have the technical knowledge to examine the changelog and then change code somewhere else in my WP. I will continue to do what I have been doing – copying the widget info, additional CSS info from my original child theme and replacing that and the header and background images in a new child theme copy, made from the newly updated parent theme.

Hi Pratik, I am still experiencing some issues with Catch Box. The problems are not isolated to one particular WP site and I think something in the updates is conflicting with existing set-ups of WP which I would like you to have a look at. Currently, I have a site which will no longer show blog posts, except for the title of the most recent, on the allocated blog page. If I go from my child theme, back to the main theme, everything is okay. However, I have made my child themes using ‘child theme configurator’ and until the last 2 or 3 updates of Child Box, no issues were showing. I can’t keep returning to make a new child, every time an update changes something.

Thanks, Sihedow. Useful information I may try if the problem happens in the future.

I used a proper child theme plugin, which I have used several times before, but obviously, on this occasion, something glitched. I have left a review for you: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-theme-and-suppot/

Hi Pratik, I have now updated the parent theme and made a new child theme from it. This now seems to work okay with the existing plugins. So it would appear that there was a glitch in the original child theme, as you suggested, although I am not sure what it was. Thanks for your assistance. 🙂

Hi Pratik, I started to experiment, but I can’t be without the site this week, as there is an event that demands it does not go off line. I will have to take another look in about a week and then let you know. All I can add at this stage, is that I have previously updated the theme with this site and everything worked. It is only the new version that seems to be in conflict with something. I have updated some of my other sites with the new theme version and they work normally. Thanks for keeping in touch.

Thanks Pratik, I will take a look. I use Catch Box on another site and don’t have this problem with the upgrade. Only other thought was whether it’s become incompatible with a plugin.

I’ve managed to resolve this issue, now. I reinstalled my child theme.
