Problem with functions.php in child theme

    Hello:

    I tried to make some changes in the functions.php file in the child theme. The changes didn’t work so I deleted the file. Now when I choose live preview I’m still getting the functions error even though the file has been deleted. I tried logging out and back in to my WP admin panel and also deleted all the cookies for the site in my browser but the problem persists.

    Any advice? Thanks.

    Are you absolutely sure that you deleted the functions.php file from the correct theme folder?

    Yes, I’m sure. In fact, I just went back and disabled the child theme and then deleted it. Then I re-created it without the functions.php file and I’m still getting the same error when I try live preview.

    I’m not an expert at this but this seems pretty bizarre to me.

    Are you running any caching plugin?

    I didn’t think of that. Yes, W3 Total Cache. So I went in there and chose “empty all caches.” Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem either.

    Can you disable all caching temporarily?

    I deactivated the caching plugin, went back to live preview and lo and behold – still not working.

    BTW – thanks for your help.

    I have WP set up as multisite. Do you think that would cause this problem?

    I wouldn’t have thought so. Do your hosts run a web cache?

    Well, I just solved the problem – I shut down my browser (FF) then restarted it and now I can access live preview without the functions error.

    I thought deleting the cookies would have helped but guess not.

    Thanks again for your help.
