5,156 PointsChild theme consistently showing error, unable to enqueue?
Hi there,
I am trying to create a child theme and consistently hitting a roadblock.
I have copied in the style.css, and also made a function.php file. The function.php file is located in the child theme folder, and contains only this code:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' ); function enqueue_parent_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); }
However, when I go to edit the theme I am getting this error message:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' ); function enqueue_parent_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); } Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sandybuc/public_html/wp-content/themes/the-huxley-child/functions.php:4) in /home/sandybuc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpclef/includes/lib/wp-session/class-wp-session.php on line 124
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sandybuc/public_html/wp-content/themes/the-huxley-child/functions.php:4) in /home/sandybuc/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1228
What am I doing wrong? this is an unfortunately tiresome roadblock early on in the piece.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
