About CyberChimps Responsive Blog WordPress Theme 4.1

CyberChimps Responsive Blog is a child theme. It sits on top of CyberChimps' Responsive Theme and adds a home template, blog templates and theme options for a slider, call-out, featured category, testimonials, gallery and recent posts. It also adds recent-post and social media widgets.

The page title says 4.1, but the file on record is version 1.1, released in December 2017. Child themes only work with their parent installed, so you also need the Responsive Theme. Test the pair with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site first.

Requirements

The Responsive Theme from CyberChimps, installed as the parent theme

Key features

Child theme of Responsive: Adds a blog-oriented design layer to the Responsive Theme.
Home page sections: Theme options cover a slider, call-out, featured category, testimonials, gallery and recent posts.
Home and blog templates: Includes a home template and blog templates.
Widgets: Includes a recent posts widget and a social media widget.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Blogs already running the Responsive Theme that want a ready home page layout
Small sites that want testimonials and a gallery on the front page

Look elsewhere if

Sites that don't want the Responsive Theme as a parent
Large magazines needing many layout choices, since the listing describes a modest set of sections

How to install CyberChimps Responsive Blog WordPress Theme 4.1

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
4
Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Notes for this product

Install the parent Responsive Theme first, then this child theme, and activate the child. Activating the child without its parent fails.

Getting started: using CyberChimps Responsive Blog WordPress Theme 4.1

Install the parent theme. Add the Responsive Theme before the child, but do not activate the parent.
Activate the child theme. Upload and activate Responsive Blog.
Set a static front page. Create a page that uses the home template and set it as your front page in the reading settings.
Fill the home page sections. Open the theme options and set the slider, call-out, featured category, testimonials, gallery and recent posts.
Add widgets. Place the recent posts and social media widgets in your sidebar or footer.

Common problems and fixes

The theme is broken or reported as missing its parent

Why it happens: The Responsive parent theme is not installed.
How to fix it: Install the parent Responsive Theme, then reactivate the child.

The home sections don't appear

Why it happens: The front page does not use the theme's home template, or the sections are empty.
How to fix it: Assign the home template to your front page and fill in the sections in the theme options.

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Why it happens: The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it: Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.

Demo import stops part-way or times out

Why it happens: The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it: Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.

Pages look broken right after activating

Why it happens: The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it: Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.
