Hello,

First of all, let me say that I love this theme.

However, I would like to add author to each of my posts.

I tried already solutions with child theme, but when I replace those 2 files - this is what error I got:

"  
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function activello\_header\_menu() in /wordpress/wp-content/themes/activello/header.php:46 Stack trace: #0 /wordpress/wp-includes/template.php(684): require\_once() #1 /wordpress/wp-includes/template.php(643): load\_template(’/wordpress/wp-c…’, true) #2 /wordpress/wp-includes/general-template.php(45): locate\_template(Array, true) #3 /wordpress/wp-content/themes/activello/index.php(14): get\_header() #4 /wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php(74): include(’/wordpress/wp-c…’) #5 /wordpress/wp-blog-header.php(19): require\_once(’/wordpress/wp-i…’) #6 /wordpress/index.php(17): require(’/wordpress/wp-b…’) #7 {main} thrown in /wordpress/wp-content/themes/activello/header.php on line 46

"

I have no idea how to deal with it. I was trying to use child theme-124.

Thanks already for your time.

@godek did you solve the problem without a Plugin and how did you do it, please?

When I was doing it wrong way, I was just replacing files in my activello folder by those child files manually.

That was messing up my php files

All you have to do is to go into your admin panel → themes → Add new and use zip folder. That was it for me 🙂

Good luck!
