Using Child Theme

  1. Download Child theme from package
  2. Install Child Theme and Active It
  3. Find and edit the functions.php file of the child theme
  4. Add your custom PHP code below the existing codes in the file, then Save it
  5. Test the Changes

    Once you’ve added the PHP code to the functions.php file of the child theme, it’s important to test the website to ensure everything works properly. Clear your browser cache or test in an incognito window.
    If you encounter any issues, you can always access the child theme’s functions.php file via FTP or the hosting File Manager to revert any problematic changes.

Fixing functions.php error

To fix the functions.php error, I recommend deleting the Xtra WordPress theme and reinstalling it. If the error persists after doing this, please submit a support ticket to us.

 

Some common reasons for this error include:

  • Incorrect Coding: If you recently made changes to the functions.php file, a small mistake in the code might be causing the error.
  • Plugin Conflicts: Some plugins may be incompatible with the Extra theme, leading to errors in the functions.php file.
  • Incomplete or Failed Update: Sometimes, an update to the theme or plugins may not complete successfully, which can cause issues with the theme files.
  • Insufficient PHP Memory: If your server has low PHP memory, this could lead to errors when loading the theme.
  • Theme Conflicts: If you have multiple themes installed or activated, they might be conflicting with each other, causing this error.
