Some changes in theme options in a child theme won’t be recognized

[bluecafe]

Hi, I have created a child theme and some theme options won’t change such as background color of footer, font-family and others. Is there any function I need to add to a child theme that it will recognize all theme options?

I have the same problem with the menu. Yesterday I was playing around with the fontsize of the menu. But the theme did not respond.. I stopped at fontsize 30, wich is really big. Nothing happened. But today while I was working in a page it suddenly jumped to fontsize 30… But now I can’t change it back… (child?)theme does not change it, even when I leave the field blank, wich is ‘default 12’
This problem occured after I created the child…

That is a caching issue. Kleo writes to the db (so that it can see your settings in theme options) but also writes to a custom css file located at /uploads/custom_styles/dynamic.css. If your sever caches that file or you have a CDN in place, it will load the old file until it expires.

Also, it has nothing to do with having a child theme or not.

Dont worry. Its a very common mistake. People think “how can I make my site faster? Through caching!!!” But they fail to realize the downside of that when they are still developing the site. I disable caching on all of my sites until they are launched.

hmm … I don’t have any cache plugin enabled. I am working on a local xampp installation with no cdn envolved.

But I will check if changes are being stored in the dynamic.css file. Thanks for the info.

If its not, check permissions and/or try this in your functions.php file

COPY CODE

add_filter( 'kleo_theme_options_ajax', '__return_false' );

Thank you so much, this did the trick ! I have added the filter and now I can change fonts and header settings via theme options. Much appreciated …

Where should I add that line in the functions.php file?

[sharmstr]

It goes in your child theme’s functions.php file (/kleo-child/functions.php) anywhere after

COPY CODE

/**
 * kleo child theme functions
 * add custom code below
*/
