Title: Child theme errors Last modified: March 13, 2018 --- # Child theme errors * [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/) * (@fernanf) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/) * Hi everyone, * 1. In Child theme’s homepage some sections are not shown but they are in parent theme. For example, when I try to show a section in Homepage, the following error is shown: _“Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cover\wp-content\themes\MusicTheme\widgets\class- tmpl-image-gallery.php on line 106”_ * **Question**: I am not sure but I think it is related to the parent theme’s configuration. How this problem could be resolved? * 2. Furthermore, there are other errors when you load the site using child-theme: * _Deprecated: Function create\_function() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cover\ wp-content\themes\MusicTheme\functions\auto\_install\auto\_install.php on line 422_ * _Notice: Trying to get property ‘url’ of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cover\ wp-includes\script-loader.php on line 1239 _ * **Question**: What is the reason of these errors?

Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme (Twenty Seventeen, etc.). That will force your site to use it. * [webcrawler2050](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webcrawler2050/) * (@webcrawler2050) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10067544) * What version of PHP Are you running on Xamp? * Thread Starter [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/) * (@fernanf) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071275) * I’m not sure if I did it well. I renamed the folder _MusicTheme-child_ as _MusicTheme- child-old_ and with the MusicTheme-child activated, the website shows the same following error and the site without styles: * _Deprecated: Function create\_function() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cover\ wp-content\themes\MusicTheme\functions\auto\_install\auto\_install.php on line 422_ * **Also, the version of PHP runs on Xampp is 7.2.0** * Could be it a problem with the current PHP version? * Thanks * Thread Starter [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/) * (@fernanf) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071339) * Sorry, also the other two following errors indicated above are shown: * _Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\xampp\htdocs\Cover\wp-content\themes\MusicTheme\widgets\class-tmpl-image- gallery.php on line 106_ * _Notice: Trying to get property ‘post\_author’ of non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\ Cover\wp-content\themes\MusicTheme\widgets\class-tmpl-display-post.php on line 211_ * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071407) * Is this MusicTheme a commercial theme? * Thread Starter [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/) * (@fernanf) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071676) * I bought it from _templatic.com_ site. - This reply was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/). * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071706) * – For pro or commercial product support please contact the author directly on their site. They cannot support their customers here. – As the author is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/forum-welcome/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products). As you are their customer I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there. Also, forum volunteers are not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. * Thread Starter [fernanf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fernanf/) * (@fernanf) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-errors-5/#post-10071728) * The question is that I have not received an adequate response from the author and I wanted to know what the problem might be, specifically, to comment on it and be more accurate in my request. Thank you and I’m sorry.
