I’m a bit in shock that Enfold doesn’t come packaged with a child theme. I own Avada, Dante, Enfold, Impreza, Jupiter, The Ken, Salient, and SimpleMag… ALL of these themes come with a child theme included, BESIDES Enfold…? Really?
What is the reason for this?
After doing a Google search, I found the video that Devin created teaching how to create one:
This article touches on how important a child theme is and Kriesi (in the comments) provides a link to download the child theme:
http://kriesi.at/archives/kriesi-at-relaunchDon’t you agree that there’s something wrong here? Why not provide your users with a child theme out-of-the-box?
Hi glen!
If you go to the documentation link in the download and then the online docs: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/
Click on Downloads you’ll see the download link for the child theme: http://bit.ly/enfold-child
Its also available on the doc tutorial for child themes here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/
I thought we had already packaged in the child theme to the theme some time ago but I guess not so I’ll ask Kriesi to include it once again :)
Personally I think its far far far more important for users to understand what a child theme is, does and to create it themselves since using one is best when you are actually modifying things. I know I only lightly cover that part of using a child theme but creating your own is one file inside of a folder so I do still encourage users and even my own freelance clients to create their own and point them towards the video I made.
Cheers!
DevinHi Devin,
Thank you for such a fast response and I appreciate you creating the child theme video and including the links in your response. Although I totally understand where you’re coming from, my only suggestion is to ship Enfold with the child theme right next to the enfold.zip file. The package should look like this:
enfold-child.zip
enfold.zip
psd_files.zip
documentation
License

version.txtObviously if you know what you’re doing with WordPress, you’re going to be using a child theme on your site. Having to search for it or create one from scratch (although not difficult), is inconvenient when most themes come with it bundled in the download.
Thanks for asking Kriesi to include it as I think it’s more helpful to your users than not including it.
Cheers man!
