    Hi guys! I have a site that I copied completely but want to change the name of the Child Theme’s name. However, when I do that in the style.css file it messes up all the CSS on the site. Can you provide some advice on how I can do this? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    Please go to Enfold theme options > Import & Export tab and export theme options, rename your child theme, go back to Import & Export tab and import theme options :)

    Best regards,

    Hi!

    When I click Export theme settings and open the file, I get a string of just a bunch of random letters.

    Hi,

    Those are your theme options :)
    You can go ahead and import it in Enfold theme options after renaming your child theme :)

    Hi Yigit! Thanks but i’m not sure how to rename the child theme on that file as the file looks like a bunch of letters and is maybe encrypted? Or do I rename the child theme elsewhere and then import that file?

    That file is only the backup for your theme settings and quick css entries etc. pp.
    Renaming the child theme just with a ftp client and rename the child folder if you like and open the style css and rename it on “Theme Name:”
    Do not change the part of the parent theme name: “Template: enfold”
    This is possible too but …
    here are some thoughts on obfuscating the source parent theme: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/source-code-change-delete-theme-name/

    Hi! Thanks for your input! I tried changing the child theme name via FTP and then importing the txt doc but the css still got all messed up, so I had to change it back to the original name. Is there any chance someone would be able to log in and help me with this? credentials in private area

    have you activated the parent theme – before child-theme rename?
    then rename – and after that activate child-theme.
    then import theme settings file
