Hi rafke!
yes and you can follow these instructions: kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/
Cheers!
AndyHello Andy,
I follow the link you send but i see that only the style.css is copied to the child-theme.
Today i change the function.php in the parent-theme.because i didn’t find him in the child.
I think when there is an update I lose those settings.
Can I copied the function.php from the parent to the child without problems.
And are there other .php or .css i also must copied to the child for be protected when the parent gets an update.An other question : The site large is almost 400 mb witch backup-app you advised because wp-clone give a problem with a file larger than 250Mb
Thx
You actually do not want to copy the entire functions.php file from the parent.
For a zipped download that was in another thread here on the forum –> http://bit.ly/enfold-child
It includes a pretty much empty functions.php file, a screenshot.png file, and a style.css file that includes some theme description stuff. That’s all you need. Don’t duplicate functions.php that is in the parent, the child’s function.php file is in addition to the parents. The style.css theme can be used for new styles or to overwrite styles in the parent theme, but you can also use the Custom CSS field in the Enfold options area.
As for backups, you may be greatly limited by the hosting plan you are on. If you have a 400 MB site, the host may not allow you to run something like WP-Clone or even Backup Buddy. Backup Buddy does have a new version out (v7) that is supposed to work a lot better with the crappy shared hosting options out there.
Hi,
Like @spidercreations wrote, you can download a starter child theme here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/downloads/
Best regards,
