SKT Welder Pro theme – problem with child theme and Theme options [solved]

[Jimako]

Hi,
SKT Welder Pro theme is not working with child theme out of box. I didn’t find this in documentation. Maybe this helps somebody.

There are 2 ways how to detect theme options name in this theme:

$themename = wp_get_theme();
and
$option_name = get_option( 'stylesheet' );

This means that you can:
1. to name your child theme the same name as your child theme folder (Theme Name in your child style.css)

or you need to add this code to function.php in child theme:

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
  function optionsframework_option_name() {
  	// Change this to use your theme slug
  	$themename = wp_get_theme();
  	$themename = preg_replace("/\W/", "_", strtolower($themename) );
   
  	return $themename;
  }
}

Otherwise you don’t get correct options values and your site doesn’t work.

Edited: added test if it’s not admin area. Otherwise you get fatal error, because in admin area it works different way.

No, I am able to create it yourself. And I found some of yours for other theme. Problem is that there are problems with options.
