Header, Footer and Widgets got lost after activating child theme

talha8877 · March 2016

I have a fresh install of both main theme and child theme.

But when I activate child theme the mentioned parts gets lost.

I checked the generated css and code and I see,

head { display: none; }

Even if I fiddle with the css and change head display to block, nothing comes back.

Edit: I realized this also happens when I upgrade theme from 10.7 to 11.8

Hi,

you must did something wrong on your end if you lost some theme parts. We suggest to read the following article https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes where everything has been explained. And YES, we are sure it works on 10000%!

I realized this also happens when I upgrade the theme from 10.7 to 11.8

And I haven't made any changes on the original code.

Did the hook handles changed between these versions?

Menu and widgets are assigned by WordPress per theme. Child and parent themes are totally different themes for WP so menu and widgets should be set individually for both of them.
