Ok, that did the job.

Thanks

Hi there,

There does appear to be a bug related to the activity plugin and child themes. I'm not sure where the heart of the issue is, but the easy fix is to just remove or comment out the activity indicator on lines 133-136 of custom.js...

////////////////
//LOADING ANIMATION
////////////////
loadingContainer.activity({segments: 12, width:5.5, space: 6, length: 13, color: '#aaa'});

You could also just use a gif animation as the loading indicator. They can be created here: http://www.ajaxload.info/

Just upload the gif and apply it to the loading container like this...

#loadingContainer {background:url('PATH-TO-THE-GIF-IMAGE') no-repeat center;}

Be sure to change PATH-TO-THE-GIF-IMAGE to the actual URL of the image. The above can go in your custom CSS panel on the customize page.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Thanks for the details. That helps a lot!

I'm looking into this now. Marking "pending review".

Best,

Chris

My style.css is same as yours. All required fields are present in my css.

I have tested yours style.css on Windows, Macintosh and Android, and these are my results:

Doesn't work:
Windows - Google Chrome 30
Macintosh - Google Chrome 32 dev
Macintosh - Safari 7
Android 4.3 - Google Chrome
Windows - Opera 17

Works:
Windows - Firefox 24
Macintosh - Firefox 24
Macintosh - Opera 17
Android 4.3 - Firefox 24

It seems that WebKit is having issues with activity.js.
I have tried to update NETEYE Activity Indicator JQuery plugin, but no luck. Same problem.
Most of my visitors are using Google Chrome (over 70%), so that is a problem for me.

Hi there,

I'm not having any issues creating a child theme. Here's what my style.css looks like in the child theme...

/*
 Theme Name:     The Curator Child
 Theme URI:      http://themes.themolitor.com
 Description:    Theme intended to test child theme performance for themes.
 Author:         Chris Molitor
 Author URI:     http://themolitor.com
 Template:       curator
 Version:        1.0.0
*/

@import url("../curator/style.css");

Remember, Theme Name and Template are required and the template needs to match the directory name of the parent theme. In this case, it's "curator".

Let me know if that helps at all.

Best,

Chris

There is two more potential bugs I can report:

1. Curator won't load widgets. I had this problem on previous version of curator I was using (I think it was 1.2). This happens when I remove some default widget after theme install, and after that theme won't display widgets.

2. On Google Chrome (Dev channel or Canary build) there is another error on the same place - activity.js line:150

document.styleSheets[0].insertRule(rule);
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'insertRule' on 'CSSStyleSheet': 2 arguments required, but only 1 present.

This error is not connected with child theme.

You can see those problems on http://goo.gl/IvGKCu

Error appears on front page with timeline. Spinner just hangs and articles don't load.
I think you can easily recreate it. Just try to create child theme.

Hi there,

Interesting. Where are you see the error appear?

Best,

Chris

Hi,
I'm trying to create curator child theme and I have encountered on a problem on the beginning.
I am using latest v1.4.0 unmodified files, and when I add in child theme style.css line:

@import url("../curator/style.css");

i get an error in file activity.js on line 150:

Uncaught HierarchyRequestError: A Node was inserted somewhere it doesn't belong.

Can you please fix the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Milos
