Good day! I’m trying to create a children’s theme, but nothing comes out. It looks like I have it on the screen. If you activate it, you will also see the result on the screenshot
Hi,
A child theme is provided in the theme package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
In it’s default state it will contain only basic code required by a child theme.
If you have entered code in it or made modifications to the default code found in it, remove the modifications and return it to it’s original state. Check if there is still a problem. Also try not to rename the child theme, that could also cause problems.
Thanks
Hello!
In style.css introduced the following code
“/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7 Child theme
Theme URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Description: Child theme made by tagDiv
Author: tagDiv
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.7c
*/
/* —————————————————————————-
This file will load automatically when the child theme is active. You can use it
for custom CSS.
*/
”
What else do you need to add? The whole structure, how’s it? https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
I like the one on the screenshot.
I would be grateful for any help, as periodically have to give up new updates due to the constant need to re-enter all the updates that have been made by me in the theme.
That is the child theme default code, do not remove or modify it in any way. The child theme comes with 2 files, a stylesheet and functions file (also an image file). Both of the files will contain default code.
Simply upload the child theme in your themes folder and then activate it, that should not create any problems with the actual website, since it is a default child theme.
See, after updating the main theme, I fly counters metrics, translations and some codes. What should I do to make sure that after updating the main theme and the activated child theme, the metric counters, translations remain intact?
When a theme is updated the files of the old theme are replaced, so any modifications or additions made to the old files will be lost. If the child theme supports the files that you want to modify, go ahead and use the child theme.
If the child theme does not support the files, you will have to modify the main files directly, and maybe make backups of them so you can replace theme after a theme update. But that may not be a proper or full proof method unfortunately.
In my case, I add code to the function.php and footer. I also make translations for social media buttons. As I understand it, in my case it is not appropriate to use a child theme, as these files are constantly updated?
In each update there could be the same or different theme files that are modified, it depends. We try to always display a list of these files.
You could make a local install, a copy of the main website, and test theme updates there first, this way you could spot eventual problems.
Oh no, you don’t understand me. I mean, in my particular case, there’s no point in using a child theme. Since the update of the main theme changes all the settings that I make – transfers, counters of visits.
Than you could make backups of the files you modify, then check after each update if they have been modified. If they were modified by us, check if your modifications work as before, if they were not modified replace theme with your backup. This would be a solution.
