    Okay so your Child Theme functions.php file is like a thousand lines long – weird. It shouldn’t have any code in there by default.

    Rename your functions.php file to “functions-old.php” and it won’t be loaded any more.

    I add you can make specific functions.php to split the different parts. And also, if your functions.php is too big, in general it means you should make a plugin.

    Yeah it’s coming through but I’m deleting it because I said don’t post it if it’s like a thousand lines long.

    You know you can always rename your active theme’s folder to something else and WordPress will automatically activate one of the default WordPress themes? That’s why it’s always recommended that you keep the Twenty Fourteen/ Fifteen/ what ever default theme is distributed/ in your “wp-content/themes” folder.

    Does exist a plugin for add more entries in an easy way?

    Glad to know it’s improving:)

    Not sure of the plugin you’re looking for. It’s best to do that manually I think.
