    I would like to thank anyone that is willing to help in advance.

    Problem :

    I was creating a child theme of my current theme imbalance2. Went through the hoops, activated it, and received the following message;

    Warning: require_once(/home/content/73/7166373/html/wp-content/themes/portfolio-child/theme-options.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/73/7166373/html/wp-content/themes/imbalance2/functions.php on line 2

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/73/7166373/html/wp-content/themes/portfolio-child/theme-options.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/73/7166373/html/wp-content/themes/imbalance2/functions.php on line 2

    I believe the problem can be sourced to the @import command in my style css of the child theme.

    I can’t login into my manager and I’ve attempted removing my child theme folder that caused the problem in the first place. No result.

    Any suggestions?

    self resolved.

    Removed “require_once ( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/theme-options.php’ ” in the parents function.php, reset to original theme, replaced line.

    Hi! I am getting this message when I try to create a child theme and it seems you had a very similar problem. I see how you solved the problem but I don’t understand why. Could you explain?
    Thanks!
