 * HI,
 * I keep getting an error message when I click “Save Changes” on the theme options–
   but it does save the update on the site – so it’s a bit confusing.

 * “There was a problem with your action. Please try again or reload the page.”
 * Now, I’ve a mild suspicion that its due to me using a child theme – which I created
   using a plugin – as I’ve never had this error before and I’ve used Virtue loads
   of times in the past without an issue. I’m doing this site for a good friend 
   as his current site is on a really out of date wordpress install – and has lots
   of errors cropping up – so I want this to work peachily!
 * I’m only using a child theme as it was advised elsewhere – and I wasn’t sure 
   if this theme was updated in the future – it would overwrite any customisations
   I’ve made.
 * Thanks in advance for any pointers.

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for writing.
 * Kindly update the theme to the latest version (3.4.6). It won’t overwrite the
   customizations you’ve made in your child theme.
 * If the issue persists, try deactivating plugins temporarily as it is possible
   that one of the plugins is causing the issue.

 * Also, can you check if there are console errors?

 * Let us know how it goes.
 * Kind regards,
