I am having trouble with post and page builder plugin and creating a haven child theme. I’m experienced with WordPress and creating child themes. For some reason (I’m still troubleshooting) the post and page builder css (i.e. editor-fe.min.css) are getting called from the public facing pages in the Haven child theme. They are not being called in the non-child theme. This has the effect of overwriting the boldgrid-theme-framework.min.css rules.
Hello Erosche,
Thanks for your question concerning how the CSS is being called when you create the child theme. We would need more information on how you are creating the child theme in order to troubleshoot the issue. If you are making only a few changes, you can also use the Custom CSS option within the Customizer (under Advanced). Changes saved in that section would not be removed by a theme update. Please provide a little more information, such as the URL in question and how you’re creating the child theme, then we would be able to investigate the issue in more depth.
Thanks arnelc! I figured out the issue has to do with how the Post and Page Builder plugin is checking if the theme is a BoldGrid theme. Line 75 of /posts-and-page-builder/includes/class-boldgrid-editor-theme.php uses the value of Text Domain from style.css in the theme’s core. it checks to see if it says ‘boldgrid’ anywhere there.
Your tutorial here does not include a recommendation to include a Text Domain line in the child theme’s style.css. Adding ‘Text Domain: boldgrid-haven-child’ to style.css resolved it for me. I also updated class-boldgrid-editor-theme.php to use the Template line, which the tutorial includes. Mine reads ‘Template: boldgrid-haven’. This might be a better fix since WordPress relies on the template line to refer to the child-theme’s parent, and all your themes contain the word boldgrid. Here’s my modified line 75 of /posts-and-page-builder/includes/class-boldgrid-editor-theme.php:
strpos( $current_theme->get( ‘Template’ ), ‘boldgrid’ ) !== false )
Your team would know best whether to make that change permanent. Hopefully people with the same problem will find their way here!
Thanks,
Edwin
