Child Theme Template

License GitHub issues GitHub tag

This is a basic template for your child theme, setting the stage for you to be able to build your own child theme, enabling you to make changes to a theme on your site without risking losing your changes when you need to update your theme.

This theme is maintained on GitHub.

How to use this theme

There are very elaborate instructions on my "Putting Things Where They Belong" tutorial, but in short:

  • Open style.css
  • Add the folder name of the parent theme to the "template" field
  • Upload to your site
  • Activate

At first, nothing will look any different, because there are no customisations. This is where you come in. Start adding new styles, functionality and layouts to suit your needs.
