Working With Child Theme
Using Child Theme
Our Themes main download folder includes a child theme. A WordPress child theme allows you to apply custom code changes to your site. Using a child theme ensures your customizations will not be overwritten, even if you update the parent theme.
The theme was built with extensibility in mind, which means that it can act either as a standalone theme or as a parent theme. When used as a parent theme it will give you a great deal of extensibility because you can extend the theme to a whole new level.
Why Use Child Theme :
- If you modify our theme files and it is updated, your changes made to the theme files will be lost. With a child theme, you can update the parent theme and still keep your changes. Therefore, if you are a WordPress savvy and wish to modify stuff to our theme, please use the child theme to do so.
- It is important to leave this name unchanged. After installing the child theme, activate it instead of the main theme. For further reference about the child themes, please read the WordPress documentation located at Codex.
- Always use a child theme when modifying core code. Child themes can also be used for custom CSS applications, template file modifications, and custom PHP functions and/or hooks. There are two ways to modify a child theme. Bear in mind that using child themes is no guarantee that an update of custom code on the parent theme will not require further maintenance.
Installing the child theme :
