    I am using Child Theme Configurator version 2.1.2 to make a child theme of GeneratePress. When I choose ‘analyze’ the parent theme it says the theme “GeneratePress” generated unexpected PHP debug output and asks me to contact the theme’s author and report the error. It also says I may not be able to use the theme as a Child Theme while these conditions exist. The error displayed is:

    Warning: Missing argument 1 for generate_display_google_fonts() in /home/ashubad/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/inc/add-ons/typography.php on line 252

    What should I do?

    why don’t you just make a child theme yourself and name it generatepress-child. In this directory make a file called style.css with this in it :

    /*
 Theme Name:   generatepress-child
 Theme URI:    
 Description:  
 Author:       
 Author URI:   
 Template:     generatepress
 Version:      1.0.0
 License:      
 License URI:  
 Tags:         
 Text Domain:  generatepress-child
*/

    and make a file called functions.php with in there:
    <?php

    There’s a blank child theme you can download here as well: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-install-a-child-theme/#post-198913

    I am a total novice at this. I have zero PHP/CSS coding knowledge and am hoping to make do with a few plugins and widgets. I am looking to build the site on my own as it is not possible for me to hire a programmer.
    I haven’t made a child theme yet. The error arose when I pressed the button for analysing the parent theme. Should I uninstall and reinstall the theme?
