Hi,

I wanted to follow the tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Except that there is no child theme in the envato download folder.
So I would like to know how to create a child theme so that all the modifications I make on the theme are not lost during updates.

thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Adam!

Please make sure you download the full package. It should be right there!

Thank you!

Hi !

Indeed.

I moved the newspaper-child folder into the theme.
After copying the child theme folder, I cannot find the child theme to activate in Appearance > Themes.

The question I ask myself. Do I need to create a child theme?
Will the changes I currently make to the main theme be deleted during updates?

Hello Adam!

I’ve checked as well and the files should be there in the package.
You shouldn’t create a child theme. We recommend using cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer, which contains a lot of functions and features. Please check out our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/

The child theme is not overwritten by the update. An issue for that could be the compatibility of your child theme with the new version of our theme.

Thank you!
