Fresh Child Theme Causing Problems

    I found a weird problem with Virtue. It’s actually a conflict with UberMenu mega menu plugin, some of the menu items wouldn’t show. After alot of tweaking, turning plugins on/off etc., with no result I tried the whole thing on another server with fresh WP, Virtue and UberMenu installation and everything worked out of the box. BUT… when I started making tweaks in the child theme of Virtue everything went back to bad. Again, I switched to the parent Virtue and the menu was working. To be sure I didn’t mess something, I made fresh new child theme with only style.css with the following content:

    /*
Theme Name: Virtue – Child
Theme URI:  http://kadencethemes.com/product/virtue-free-theme/
Description: Child theme for Virtue.
Author: Kadence Themes
Author URI: http://www.kadencethemes.com/
Template: virtue
Version: 2.5.6
*/

    No luck, It simply doesn’t work. If I switch to the parent theme everything works, but switching to the child one messes my menu.

    Does anyone has some ideas what could be wrong? Many thanks in advance!

    Hey so menus are saved in wordpress on a theme by theme basis. and that includes a child theme. If you activate a child theme you still have to set up that menu separate from the parent because wordpress considers it a new theme,

    So my question when you activate the child theme are you making sure to re-set up your menu completely like you have when the parent theme is activate? Including your uber menu settings?

    Next can you post a link so I can see what the error is?

    Also just to make sure it’s clear the only thing in your child theme is the style.css file?
