Hello.
I just bought this theme 1 week ago, i installed the theme with their content inside.
I delete it all the posts were them and made a little modification for the categories, logo and this stuff.
I already made 10 posts and the web site is online ( http://www.storypickers.com )
These days i see in this forum and some other people suggest me to install the child theme (which is already at your newspaper folder?)
So i have 3 questions:
1) Why i have to install the childe theme?
2) Can i keep the theme just like it is, like i had installed with yours content inside?
3) If i install the child theme, will my posts and everything i have done delete it?
Waiting for you reply, wish to you a nice day!
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!
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
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!
Hi, i really don’t have the idea what are all these stuff you mentioned. Anyway, i had done another post. If you don’t mind can you take a look and maybe can help me?
Thnx for your time 🙂
