Looking for help with a child theme after upgrading to version 6

Looking for help with code to emulate the child theme that I have on version 5 to 6?

Here is our test environment: https://test.fiddlerman.com/forum/

This is where the forum is live at the moment: Fiddlerman.com/forum/

As you can see the badges and icons line up to the left and don't look very good.

Thanks,

Hi:

Can you post some screen shots for the two links instead? I just tried to click over there but it looks like the links in your message aren't going where you expect them to go. I navigated manually to the forum on both sites but wasn't quite sure what to look for.

Thanks very much.

This forum doesn't let you upload decent size files. I compressed an image to less than 1024 pixel width and 800 pixel height and it still wouldn't work.

I posted them on this link: https://fiddlerman.com/screen-shots/

Perhaps one must register to see the below links.

Thanks

Hi:

Thanks. I see what you mean. This happens only with the child theme? If you use the parent theme do you still get the badges stacked vertically? What about if you use another theme (eg: reboot)?

Thanks.

That is not with my child theme. When I use the child theme with version 6 there are quite a few problems. Presently using the "Stacked" theme. Which theme do you think might work?

Here is the same thing with the default theme:

Hi:

In order to use the old child theme you would have to modify it for the new structure and functions in 6.0. It will not transfer directly (just like the 5.0 themes will not work on 6.0).

But, since you're using the basic stacked theme and not a child theme I am wondering if maybe the badges are too large which is what is causing them to wrap on the 6.0 themes. On your test site, what happens if you use smaller images for the badges? (This is just a test so we can figure out the scope of the issue. I'd hate for you to pay $$$ for us to custom code something that that might be simple for you to fix).

Thanks.

I was using a child theme. The problem is that the badges stack on top of each other instead of lining up from left to right. This was the same issue on version 5 which is why I had a child theme. Even if I make the icons smaller they will place on separate rows.

Here is what it looks like with the default Stacked theme:

Hi:

Ah, ok. I think I understand now. So the badges in the child theme were moved to the BOTTOM of the posts instead of tiling vertically on the side?

Thanks..

I've been trying to work on it on my own but not having luck.

I don't understand this after both uploading the child theme and changing titles.
Why is it looking in a folder called DefStacked-2?
The stylesheet is located in the DefStacked folder and there shouldn't be any more sub folders.

Current Theme

The current theme stylesheet:

/home/fiddlerm/public_html/test/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/DefStacked-2/styles/DefStacked

cannot be found. Please correct or select a new theme for proper operation.
