So, I’m learning about child themes. I’ve read through this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Either it’s very incomplete or I’m missing something.
All other tutorials I’ve read talk about create a stylesheet first:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/
https://optimizerwp.com/wordpress-child-theme/
..Do I not need to create this stylesheet with Newspaper?
Can I use one of those child theme creator plugins?
Thanks
Extract all 3 files
functions.php
screenshot.png
style.css
from the Themeforest archive
/code/Newspaper-child/
to a folder
wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/
on your hosting (server) with your wordpress-site
and activate the Child Newspaper Theme in admin-panel.
That is all. Try it.
I downloaded the Newspaper zip from Envato (where I bought it) and uncompressed it. I didn’t find a Newspaper-child directory in it.
I also didn’t see that directory on my server.
I then went to Themeforest to make sure your response wasn’t totally literal and didn’t see anything there.
Please advise.
It’s in the “code” folder.
Please read me carefully.
themeforest-5489609-newspaper.zip -> Newspaper-tf -> code -> Newspaper-child
Extract all 3 files
functions.php

style.css
to a folder
wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/
via FTP.
This folder
wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/
on the hosting (server) you have to create manually via FTP client (like Filezilla for example).
After this activate the Child Newspaper Theme in admin-panel of your WordPress site.
Oh, ALL FILES. I understand now. I only downloaded the install files and was looking in there. That makes sense.
Thank you..
What is the purpose of the .png file?
This is a preview for the child theme in the admin panel of your site:
Ohhhhh. I see.
Thank you very much!
