Title: Error in WP Includes > functions.php – json Last modified: December 12, 2024 --- # Error in WP Includes > functions.php – json * [hebhansen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hebhansen/) * (@hebhansen) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-wp-includes-functions-php-json/) * Hi * I am not seeing my child theme styles kick in on Parent TT5. It worked in TT4. Now debugging and in admin dashboard I am getting this error: * **Notice**: wp_json_file_decode(): Error when decoding a JSON file at path /my- site/wp-content/themes/child-theme/theme.json: Syntax error in **/my-site/wp- includes/functions.php** on line **6114** * The code in this location is (trigger_error is the exact line): * ```wp-block-code if ( E_USER_ERROR === $error_level ) { throw new WP_Exception( $message ); } trigger_error( $message, $error_level );} ``` * What can I do to fix this. I heard it may run from database instead of theme…… * Thx Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Benedikt Ledl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benniledl/) * (@benniledl) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-wp-includes-functions-php-json/#post-18194847) * Hey, seems like your theme.json has a syntax error. If you want to you can post the content of it here and I can have a look, or you can try using this online tool to find errors in your json[https://jsoncrack.com/](https://jsoncrack.com/) * Thread Starter [hebhansen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hebhansen/) * (@hebhansen) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-wp-includes-functions-php-json/#post-18199357) * [@benniledl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benniledl/) You are more than welcome to have a look. What I hear is that it may be pulling styles and more from DB and therefore not seeing the T.J. No one can tell me how to fix this…. * I tried the jsoncrack, no errors but at scroll bar there are some color blocks. I do not know what they indicate. * I am defining custom shadows that I use for my buttons. Theme shadows I ported, for the theme never to overwrite my definition of buttons. Also I need these variables for plugin and css overwrite. * Also I just ran the whole thing through Chat, that complains about 6 issues, but when confronting specifically, it turns out that code is correct. * Chat mentioned that I kind of double apply fluid. Could you please comment how to be correct about it. * One thing. Schema reference was 6.6 until 2 min ago. I updated to WP 6.7 a month ago. Please verify if this ref is correct. * Note: everything worked in TT4. Nothing or some works in TT5 and it’s a mystery to me. * Here Goes, let me hear your thoughts: * ```wp-block-code { "$schema": "https://schemas.wp.org/wp/6.7/theme.json", "version": 3, "settings": { "typography": { "dropCap": true, "fluid": true, "defaultFontSizes": false, "fontSizes": [ { "fluid": { "min": "0.7rem", "max": "0.9rem" }, "name": "Small", "slug": "small" }, { "fluid": { "min": "0.9rem", "max": "1.05rem" }, "name": "Medium", "slug": "medium" }, { "fluid": { "min": "1.39rem", "max": "1.85rem" }, "name": "Large", "slug": "large" }, { "fluid": { "min": "1.85rem", "max": "2.5rem" }, "name": "Extra Large", "slug": "x-large" }, { "fluid": { "min": "2.5rem", "max": "3.27rem" }, "name": "Extra Extra Large", "slug": "xx-large" }, { "fluid": { "min": "3rem", "max": "8rem" }, "name": "3x Extra Large", "slug": "3x-large" }, { "fluid": { "min": "8rem", "max": "12rem" }, "name": "4x Extra Large", "slug": "4x-large" } ] }, "color": { "palette": [ { "color": "#f9f9f9", "name": "Base", "slug": "base" }, { "color": "#ffffff", "name": "Base / Two", "slug": "base-2" }, { "color": "#111111", "name": "Contrast", "slug": "contrast" }, { "color": "#636363", "name": "Contrast / Two", "slug": "contrast-2" }, { "color": "#A4A4A4", "name": "Contrast / Three", "slug": "contrast-3" }, { "color": "#cfcabe", "name": "Accent", "slug": "accent" }, { "color": "#c2a990", "name": "Accent / Two", "slug": "accent-2" }, { "color": "#d8613c", "name": "Accent / Three", "slug": "accent-3" }, { "color": "#b1c5a4", "name": "Accent / Four", "slug": "accent-4" }, { "color": "#b5bdbc", "name": "Accent / Five", "slug": "accent-5" }, { "name": "Black", "slug": "black", "color": "#000000" }, { "name": "White", "slug": "white", "color": "#ffffff" }, { "name": "Draupnir / 8", "slug": "draupnir-8", "color": "#171717" }, { "name": "Draupnir / Shadow", "slug": "draupnir-shadow", "color": "#BABECC" }, { "name": "Draupnir / Red", "slug": "draupnir-red", "color": "#ae1100" }, { "name": "Post-It / Yellow", "slug": "post-it-yellow", "color": "#f1f58f" }, { "name": "Post-It / Orange", "slug": "post-it-orange", "color": "#ffa930" }, { "name": "Post-It / Pink", "slug": "post-it-pink", "color": "#ff32b2" }, { "name": "Post-It / Blue", "slug": "post-it-blue", "color": "#a9edf1" }, { "name": "Post-It / Green", "slug": "post-it-green", "color": "#74ed4b" }, { "name": "Post-It / Purple", "slug": "post-it-purple", "color": "#ba3fff" } ], "custom": true }, "shadow": { "presets": [ { "name": "Input Shadow", "slug": "input-shadow", "shadow": "inset 2px 2px 5px var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow), inset -5px -5px 10px var(--wp--preset--color--base-2)" }, { "name": "Input Shadow Focus", "slug": "input-shadow-focus", "shadow": "inset 1px 1px 2px var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow), inset -1px -1px 2px var(--wp--preset--color--base-2)" }, { "name": "Button Shadow", "slug": "button-shadow", "shadow": "-5px -5px 20px var(--wp--preset--color--base-2), 5px 5px 20px var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow)" }, { "name": "Button Shadow Hover", "slug": "button-shadow-hover", "shadow": "-2px -2px 5px var(--wp--preset--color--base-2), 2px 2px 5px var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow)" }, { "name": "Button Shadow Focus", "slug": "button-shadow-focus", "shadow": "inset 1px 1px 2px var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow), inset -1px -1px 2px var(--wp--preset--color--base-2)" } ] }, }, "styles": { "elements": { "input": { "color": "var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow)", "backgroundColor": "var(--wp--preset--color--base)", "border": "none", "borderRadius": "32px", "padding": "16px", "fontSize": "var(--wp--preset--font-size--medium)", "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--input-shadow)", "focus": { "outline": "none", "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--input-shadow-focus)" } }, "textarea": { "color": "var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-shadow)", "backgroundColor": "var(--wp--preset--color--base-2)", "border": "none", "borderRadius": "32px", "padding": "16px", "fontSize": "var(--wp--preset--font-size--medium)", "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--input-shadow)" }, "button": { "color": "var(--wp--preset--color--draupnir-red)", "backgroundColor": "var(--wp--preset--color--base)", "border": "none", "borderRadius": "32px", "padding": "16px", "fontSize": "var(--wp--preset--font-size--medium)", "cursor": "pointer", "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--button-shadow)", ":hover": { "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--button-shadow-hover)" }, ":focus": { "shadow": "var(--wp--preset--shadow--button-shadow-focus)", "outline": "none", "border": "none" } } }, "blocks": { "core/button": { "variations": { "outline": { "spacing": { "padding": { "bottom": "calc(1rem -

These are each too many “,”. * With an editor for editing your files that shows you errors directly, this would not happen.

The primary reason for creating a child theme, Thx. I do not see error correction, but still new to it, so maybe I missed a setting…. * [@benniledl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benniledl/) Thank you. It’s appreciated. * Styles are still not kicking in. Colors are not in editor and I see 2 different stylings as admin vs. not signed in. Cache is purged many times. I trust enqeueus are triggered correct and also in right order. So more specifically, is T.J. correct for showing my colors and font sizes in editor setting?
