Magento 1.9 – Fixing Fatal Error in Downloadable Products

ce-1.9.0.1downloadableerrormagento-1.9

The downloadable products are not viewable on the frontend. When I enable php errors I get the following message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function addToChildGroup() on a
non-object in
/chroot/home/taylored/tayloredexpressions.com/html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Abstract.php
on line 815

  • I've tried disabling all modules, no change.
  • I've tried reverting to the default theme, no change.

I don't know if it is a clue or not, but the page cuts off in the middle of this piece of Magento javascript:

var optionsPrice = new Product.OptionsPrice(

Anyone have any idea how to debug with this error??? I really could use some help and pointers on how to track this down and fix it.

You have error with your theme layout XML Block. The catalog.xml block have the problem. Please try to copy catalog.xml from default layout and overwrite it into your custom theme. I hope it would be help. Don't forget to clear your cache.
