If I add this file on child theme folder, as you can see on [http://www.pim5stelle.com](http://www.pim5stelle.com) appear a white line on top of the site. If I remove the child functions.php the blank line disappear. If I delete everything on child functions.php the blank line appear again. How can i solve it?

Can you post the contents of your child theme’s `functions. php` to [Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/) and post the link here? Can you temporarily [enable debugging](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug) and see if any errors appear? * Thread Starter [ironivan89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ironivan89/) * (@ironivan89) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-child-functionsphp/#post-6686772) * Theme is classiads theme but the problem isn’t with the theme but with my file functions.php because if I delete everything from the file the problem still appear. The debug list 4 notification that are also in the original theme. * The code pasted is at [http://pastebin.com/P8jeRrDs](http://pastebin.com/P8jeRrDs) * Thanks * [stephencottontail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephencottontail/) * (@stephencottontail) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-child-functionsphp/#post-6686776) * I’m not sure how helpful I can be, given that I don’t have access to your parent theme. Have you spoken to your theme’s vendors for assistance? After all, that’s part of what you paid for. * If you switch to the parent theme, does the line appear? Can you temporarily [enable debugging](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug) and see if any errors appear, and if so, can you list them? * Thread Starter [ironivan89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ironivan89/) * (@ironivan89) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-child-functionsphp/#post-6686823) * Yes. Theme’s support tell me that The problemi is my file child functions.PHP, in fact, if i switch to parent theme, the line doesn’t appear and if i remove my child functions.PHP The line doesn’t appear. Have you seen something wrong in my functions.PHP code?

Probably you get this error because you don’t have this custom taxonomy. But I can’t understand why deleting all functions in The file I get always the white line! * [stephencottontail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephencottontail/) * (@stephencottontail) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-child-functionsphp/#post-6686889) * Can you temporarily [enable debugging](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug) and see if any other errors appear? Can you make sure there’s no white space prior to the opening PHP tag on line 1 or after the final comment on line 62? * Thread Starter [ironivan89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ironivan89/) * (@ironivan89) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-child-functionsphp/#post-6686915) * No white space before the
