Hello guys,

I have been implementing child theme on my blog, in which I have created a new functions.php, header.php and style.css.
So far so good.

BUT, I cannot either import new pictures (media tab is empty) or use live composer when my child theme is selected.

I have to take revert to the normal theme, make the change and switch back to my child theme.

Do you have any idea ?

Many thanks

Hey there,

A site built on WordPress.com doesn’t have the ability to have a child theme, you may be mixing it up with WordPress.org. Here’s an explanation between their differences https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

And here’s a link to the WordPress.org forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/

Hope that helps,
João

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
