Creating a child theme for not losing my setup

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,
I forgot completely to create the child theme before editing the demo I have used for my site. I have change lots of things in the appearance of home page, header, footer, category pages, tags and them (block, colors and all this u know). I have noticed my fault when I have seen the theme update today.

I remember to make a child theme years ago helping a friend to make his site, but since then I haven´t touch web design so I forgot some things. The only I want know is to create a child theme with all the changes I made and not to lose the appearance when updating. An exact clone of all block, colors….

It is possible doing this with any recomended plugin which exports the css and all this just to show the site like is shown right now?

Many thanks.

Hi loslunesseriefilos,

If you are using a PRO Demo, this is using cloud templates, that can be edited with tagDiv Composer and these settings will not be lost when you’ll make a theme update, also for theme panel, our theme is making a backup for also settings that are saved -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Also the child theme is use only for default files, you can use our child theme by checking our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Thank you!

So then, updating the theme means not losing any setup made before? I´m using newspaper magazine pro with the standard header, home page, footer, single post/tag/category/ and more (all edited with new colores and block changes).

Hi, yes there should be no problems, but note that we recommend to make a full backup to your website and database before any theme update, in case that there are some problems during the theme update to can restore the backup.
We also add a theme update option https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
