Want to create a child theme? No problem. Follow these three easy steps and you will have a child theme up and running in no time. A child theme is great for customizing your theme without the potential of losing your customizations when the parent theme is updated. It is also a great way to improve your coding skills. Let’s get started!
Step 1
Create a new folder in your “Themes” folder. Label it with the name of the parent theme, followed by ” -child “. i.e. “twentyfifteen-child”
Step 2
Create 2 files inside your newly created folder. Label them as follows;
- functions.php
- style.css
Copy and paste the code below into the files you have created.
Step 3
Go to your “Themes” section of your dashboard and activate your child theme.
Your child theme is now ready. Happy coding!!
