Search Results for 'child theme'

Hi all,
Here’s what I did step by step to add a custom Whatsapp button:

1. Created a child theme, added an includes/module directory
2. Copied td_module_single.php file from theme’s original location (/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_single.php)
3. Added FA awesome menu plugin
4. I wanted to keep pinterest but you can delete as well. So, I kept pinterest and below that, I added the following code (before closing div):

<i class=”fa fa-whatsapp fa-lg”></i>

5. Go to custom css area of your theme panel, and add these:

.td-social-whatsapp {
background-color: #60b82d;
}

.td-social-whatsapp .td-icon-whatsapp {
font-size: 24px;
position: relative;
top: 2px;
left: 1px;
}

.td-social-pinterest {
margin-right:8px;
}

@media (min-width: 787px){
.td-social-whatsapp {
display: none !important;
}

6. Voila! Now you see Whatsapp icon only on tablets and mobile – don’t worry if you don’t see it on your desktop.

Good luck

As it is confirmed it is problem with Jetpack + Newspaper theme, I fixed it temporarily by placing the following css code in my style sheet:

.post .td_smart_list_2 .td-sml-description p:first-child {
display: none;
}

Hi again, i already hired someone else to install my child theme. Thnx for your supoort.

Basically, just change it.

Be sure the theme is not active; rename theme folder (generally you would do this on your PC/Mac prior to upload via FTP).

For example we change the name of our folder to our news network name.

Just change it from /Newspaper/ to something like /StyleBaron/ or whatever you website name happens to be — be careful NOT to name it the same as a category, post, plugin name, or WordPress function, just to be safe — like, don’t name it VisualComposer for example, or JetPack if you’re using jetpack, is tempting fate! hypehen and underlines can be used, like my-cool-mag … although I’d likely limit to 2 words, no reason you can’t do more.

If using a child theme you likely might need to check the style.css to make sure it points to the right place. I don’t use child themes, so if you don’t then it won’t apply to you either.

There is also an awesome resource called Google for many things like this — WP has been around over 10 years, so this is a very common question you can often answer yourself vs waiting for a reply here — not that anything wrong with that, or looking for pointers here from others who have already done the deed. 🙂

Thanks! Can the wp_booster edited through the child theme?

Hi

Replied you here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/installing-child-theme-help/#post-70354

Thanks!

Hi

By installing the child theme as it is in /code folder the parent theme functionality won’t be affected because all theme’s files are in main theme. The child theme become useful if you want to customize a post template for example, you will move the required files and the changes won’t be affected by futures updates. In fact this is the point of a child theme, to keep the customization even if the main theme it’s updated. But this is not always valid, because once in a while the child theme it’s also updated, or if the main theme pass through a major update it’s possible that some customizations not work well anymore. There is no reason to install the child theme unless if you decide to customize the parent theme. Note that customizing a theme involve good coding skills otherwise its functionality will be damaged rather than improved.

You can check in documentation which file can be edited with child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Hope this help.

Thanks for the message!

Oh… will do! I do know that I should do a backup of the site but what do you consider to be the best way to update? I use a child theme and did all my customizations via child theme. Do I need to worry about correcting CSS, settings and so on?

Hi
you may find the official ‘codex’ docs for WordPress super useful on stuff like this as an educational tool but also gateway to other info… put another way .. unless you KNOW you need to use child theme, then you don’t 🙂

See:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

tip: you can often do google search like :: wordpress codex child themes
or similar to get right to docs!

Thnx a lot for your information.
What if i want to keep all my posts/modification and all stuff which are in the web site just like they are,what should i do? Still i dont need a child theme? Or i can make a back uo at my host server?
P.s: Sorry for my stupid questions but im very new in this world

No reason to install the Child theme. Some people use them to hack theme settings in hopes they won’t have to redo edits on theme update; however that is a 50/50 proposition since often major theme updates mean changing child theme as well. If you’re using the built-in functions and control panel and visual layout, without needing to “hack’ things for some custom reason, you don’t need to use the child theme. It’s also a CSS redirect, which Google actually doesn’t like, but WordPress has this as a core ‘feature.’

Not sure that helps or not — but upshot: don’t use it unless you have a reason to!
