# Theme Function 'ipt_kb_scripts' issue with Child Themes

 * In the theme function ipt_kb_scripts, the wp function `get_stylesheet_directory_uri`
   is called to create the uri of each file. When the theme is extended by a child
   theme `get_stylesheet_directory_uri` points to child theme’s directory and not
   the parent. Change `get_stylesheet_directory_uri` to `get_template_directory_uri`
   to keep it pointing to parent whether it’s extended or not by a child.

 * If the problem is with the CSS and JS used in the parent theme, please copy the
   LIB folder from the parent to the child theme. This workaround works excellent
   for me.
