    Hi guys,

    Are you able to help me with the below, at all?

    I employed a freelancer to add a custom post type to my child theme, but it didn’t go so well. I fixed a bunch of weird error messages, but I still get a fatal error every time I try to open a page, post, etc or add a new page or post.

    Here is an example:

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string in /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-content/themes/kiddo-turf-parent/framework/core/INTERFACE.php:168 Stack trace: #0 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-content/themes/kiddo-turf-parent/framework/core/INTERFACE.php(323): TF_INTERFACE->meta_box_row_template(Array) #1 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-content/themes/kiddo-turf-parent/framework/core/INTERFACE.php(339): TF_INTERFACE->get_meta_box_options(‘lied’) #2 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(300): TF_INTERFACE->create_meta_box(‘lied’) #3 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #4 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php( in /homepages/9/d294336569/htdocs/clickandbuilds/Kinderlieder/wp-content/themes/kiddo-turf-parent/framework/core/INTERFACE.php on line 168\

    Is this fixable, or should I scrap the whole thing and start from scratch?

    Thanks so much!!

    what does your custom post type include? any custom fields?

    Hi Nicholas,

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it!

    It should some custom fields, but I can’t tell, as I can’t access the custom post type from the admin interface to check. I am assuming the freelancer did a bunch of weird stuff, but it’s extremely hard to trace.

    Does the fatal error describe any place to look at all?

    Hard to tell without actually looking at what your freelancer did. If it was just a custom post type without any custom fields I would’ve suggested just nuking it and starting over. Try removing the code from the child theme one function at a time and seeing if you can narrow down which function is causing the error.

    Thanks for your suggestion! I will do that and go bit by bit through the code.

    No problem. If you can’t figure it out let me know and I can help you rebuild from scratch.
