I was trying to reverse the positioning of the carousel for the ethos 01 theme, and was advised to follow these instructions:

https://community.theme.co//forums/topic/make-ethos-post-carousel-below-header/

which require following the child theme instructions:

https://community.theme.co//kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/

For the second part, it mentions under option 1: “Double-click it to uncompress the .zip file. This will reveal the actual child theme FILES (plural), which you can manually upload to your site’s /wp-content/themes/ directory via FTP.”

The separate child themes are NOT in this file, under views there are folders named integrity, ethos, etc., but they are EMPTY.

Where can I get the correct x-child-themes.zip file?

Also when attempting to use the legacy child theme zip that DOES have ethos, I get this error under appearance / theme / uplaod:

Installing Theme from uploaded file: x-child-ethos.zip

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

This theme requires a parent theme. Checking if it is installed…

The parent theme could not be found. You will need to install the parent theme, x, before you can use this child theme.

Theme installed successfully.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

Our knowledge base has not been updated yet which includes the instruction on the x child theme. You only need the x-child theme which you can get it from here: https://community.theme.co//child-theme/

It doesn’t have much file and it only have folders. These folders are empty simply because you only put files here when you want to have a custom template or make modifications to a file. For example, you want to have a custom logo, you have to copy the file _brand.php from the parent theme wp-content/themes/x/framework/views/global/ to the child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/global/. Any file you copied and placed in the child theme’s folder will override the file in the parent theme. This is how child theme works.

For more details regarding child themes, please check the codex here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

We’d love to know if this helped you.

So after downloading the child-theme from the link you provided, and following the instructions (both options), I get this message under appearances / themes:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
X – Child Theme The parent theme is missing. Please install the “x” parent theme.

… And yet, the X parent theme is very much present and working. So what needs to happen to make the child theme work?

Hi there,

The provided child theme .zip file contains all the necessary files and is ready to work out of the box. How are you uploading the child theme? You could try uploading it via FTP, rather than the WordPress admin panel uploader. The files can be uploaded and extracted to directory /wp-content/themes using FTP. Once that is done, you can go to Appearance > Themes and activate your child theme.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks!
