Thanks for the fix. I had the same problem.
However, for me there was no need to move the specific line to the footer.php. Moving it a few lines down, just below the "wp_enqueue_script" code was enough for it to work.

Thanks for sharing! :-)

I should note that in step 4 you also need to remove the line. :)

4. Open "header.php" in your child theme folder and copy the line "<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />". Delete the line.

And of course, save!

I bought the WP Aid theme quite some time ago and just recently started working with child themes (as recommended). Sadly, using a child theme with WP Aid doesn't seem to work quite right (the slider won't work in some browsers).

After some research, I found the error was UNCAUGHT ERROR: HIERARCHYREQUESTERROR: DOM EXCEPTION 3.

Basically, this error is because the "scripts.js" needs to be called before the stylesheet. To fix this issue, you need to copy a few files to your child theme folder. I hope this solution helps someone else as well!

*Important: You will need a text editor to do this. Also, make sure the structure in your child theme folder is the same as your parent theme.

1. Copy "scripts/scripts.js" to your child theme folder.

2. Copy "header.php" to your child theme folder.

3. Copy "footer.php" to your child theme folder.

4. Open "header.php" in your child theme folder and copy the line "<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />"

5. Open "footer.php" in your child theme folder and paste the line "<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />" just above "<?php wp_footer(); ?>".

Good luck!

PS. Always make a backup first!
