Which version did you update from/to? Most likely is a problem between 3.0.x and 3.1.x.
If so, check the wp-content/themes/customizr/readme.txt file and see if any hooks have changed that have been used in your child theme functions.php or /parts/class-content-*.php customisations.
Hi rdell,
Thank you for your rapid response! I really had no clue as to how to go about looking for those “hooks” and comparing to my customisations. So, I downloaded the functions.php and the whole parts folder of my child theme for safekeeping. Then I copied the functions.php and the parts folder from the customizr theme folder to my child-theme folder. I expected it to work no problems as I’ve basically only got customizations in the stylesheet.css now, but I suppose there are still issues unresolved.
I’ll keep looking into it but maybe you could give me another pointer.
Thank you.
(I’ll be away for a bit so please excuse my delay in replying)

I just did the same the the style.css file, simply uploading the one from the customizr folder to my child theme folder. So, the functions.php, the style.css and the parts folder are all the same as the ones in the customizr folder and yet it still doesn’t load.
This is so frustrating, is there a way of reversing the update, back to the previous version? I backed my childtheme when updating wordpress a few weeks ago and I suppose I could use this to reinstall my child theme onto the previous version of customizr. Is this possible?
Thanks
daniel
I think I can see your problem. Did you follow the instructions here to create your Child Theme?
In particular, you only need to add deltas/changes in functions.php in the CT, not a copy of the original which will cause problems.
If that doesn’t work, what else did you customise?
Then I copied the functions.php and the parts folder from the customizr theme folder to my child-theme folder.
There’s your problem. The child folder should have only style.css and functions.php (unless you’re doing something much more sophisticated, that is).
Can you access your site from FTP or using the cPanel from your host? If so, rename your child theme folder to customizr-child-old. That should get you back in business.
Hello all,
I’m sorry for the delay in replying, as I mentioned, quite caught up with other things.
I really appreciate your help but I’ve not been able to solve it except by completely deleting my child theme. I’d used the child-themify.1.0.1 plugin to create the CT but I also added other folders (my bad).
I have a wordpress backup folder I suppose I could use to reset everything but then I would have the same problem updating customizr.
I think I’ll use my style.css and the functions.php on a new child-theme, but if the same happens again I’m not sure what I’ll do to know what exactly the incompatibility is. Posting my style.css and functions.php might be a bit much to ask you guys, huh?
I’ll mark this as resolved but I’ll appreciate any other suggestions; and I suppose you’ll hear from me again.
Lots of thanks,
daniel
We’ll be here!
You can download a clean Child Theme here. That will remove the need for using the Plugin.
style.css should be reusable. functions.php – remember to only use delta changes, not a copy of the core file. parts directory only needed if you’ve made any changes to other core files class-*-*
Thank you very much. I’ll look into this. Especially the difference between delta changes and copying the core file and adding to it, because I’m not sure what delta changes are.

Sorry for my geekytalk! All I mean is that you start off with an empty functions.php (apart from the top line #1) and only add new code that alters the functionality of the core theme. You’ll find examples of php snippets that you might add here.
Don’t worry about the jargon, I’d better get used to it!
Thank you very much!
