X Theme: page title not showing up

[Caracarina]

Hi there,

On one page of my site, the page title is not showing. Disable page title is definitely not checked, and there is no custom CSS for that page. This page is the one in question: http://rdmdefenceday2019.co.za/programme/

Two strange things happened from one day to the next:

1. Suddenly 45px padding appeared top and bottom of the sections. Everytime i made a new section, i clicked “remove spacing” and manually added the spacing i needed in the inspector. I checked after all this extra space appeared and there is nothing extra in the inspector and i tried clicking remove spacing" again - with no luck. In dev tools i can see the padding is added to a div with this kind of name: #cs-content .x-section — where did this come from and how can i remove it, please?
2. When i look at the page in the WP Dashboard, i cannot see the dropdown menu to select what kind of page i would like to use - e.g. Blank - container (header, footer) etc etc - it has simply disappeared.

This is my first time with X Theme - my apologies if i somewhere inadvertently fiddled with settings and screwed myself Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Carin

Mmmm i just remembered that i installed a child theme, as per support instructions, in order to change the header of the site to have to columns - could that be why things had gone a bit strange???

So i changed back to X Theme to see if the page templates showed up - and they did - and now that i want to change back to my Child theme, it is gone?!??! What is going on here? :’(

Hi There,

Thank you for writing in and sorry you’re having this issue, your page title is not showing because you’re using a Blank - Container | Header, Footer on your page.

You’re having that 2 strange issues is because you remove the header of your child theme’s style.css file which contains the child theme’s name, author, parent theme, etc. without those information, your child theme becomes orphan.

Please add this on top of your child theme’s style.css file.

/*

Theme Name: X – Child Theme
Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/
Author: Themeco
Author URI: http://theme.co/
Description: Make all of your modifications to X in this child theme.
Version: 1.0.0
Template: x

If the issue persists, please provide us login credentials in a secure note so we can take a closer look.

Cheers!

Hello there,

Ah thank you so much for that - my page title is showing up and i can see the dropdown menus for the page templates again. So just for my future reference - does it always happen that if you select X again, after using the child theme, that child theme will disappear and you will have to reinstall it?

Thank you again for your help!

Best regards,
Carin

Hi Carin,

The child theme should remain installed on your site even if you enable the parent theme again.

If the child theme disappears, it could something else on your setup that is causing the issue.

Cheers!
