Hey there!
I’m new to the child theme stuff and want to create one from an existing website.
1. Is this convenient at all?
Since I’m planning on keeping all of the features from the customized ENFOLD theme, but also want to add several other customizations.My confusion is that all of the changes I’ve made on the theme have been inserted via QUICK CSS. So, after creating the child theme,
2. can I add those quick changes from the “general styling” section to the Child Theme’s CSS sheet?3. Do I have to add the @import url(“../enfold/style.css”); as recommended by wp common practices?
4. If so, does it go after the /*Add your own styles here:*/ (on the child theme)? Or can I start adding the codes right after this line, without adding the @import…..?
Thanks a lot!
Best,hacart
Hey Harold,
Thanks for getting in touch with us!
If you are planning to do a lot of customization to your site then yes it is convenient to use a child theme. The features and styles from Enfold will still be in place when using the child theme. Here are instructions on creating or setting up the child theme – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/
Whatever code you have placed in the Quick CSS can be moved to the child theme’s stylesheet but it is not necessary. Just follow the video and instruction on the link and let us know if you need further information.
Best regards,

Thanks for answering 1 and 2. I’ve already watched the video. That’s what questions 3 and 4 were placed here. Can you please clarify them?

Hi,
It is not necessary to add the @import. Once the child theme is installed you can start adding your CSS to the child theme’s stylesheet.
Best regards,
Jordan
