Thanks Yigit.

So I did already instal the api key in the enfold theme. if i want to update the child theme aswel I need to instal the api key in the child time also ? is that correct?
I didn’t change much in the demo i used, only collors and loge., and tekst en pictures..but i didn’t rewrite ssc styles.

Sorry but this is al new for me :).

thank you for your help :)

Hi Yigit,

thank you thank you for your patients :)
I am a dummy and do this for the first time!

I did install the enfold child theme so that is correct.
And i made my design with it.
But if I do the option import parent theme options what you say me to do.
what will happen with my design? will it stay like it is (what i hope otherwise i have to start again)
But when I read the import the child theme settings next to the bleu button it says; please be aware that this will overwrite your child theme settings?

Will this mean that I have a blanc parent theme or that the child theme stay the way it is but only updates the enfold theme?

do you understand what I mean?

sorry but I really want to be sure I do the right thing :)

thanks

Oke, but I am a bit confused right now…

so because i did my design in the child theme i don’t import the parent theme…that is what you say, is that correct?

But then when the parent theme get any update, my child theme don’t? is that correct?
or is there no need to updated the theme anyway?
It will work correctly for years? ( i hope)…
thank you so much, I know, I ask al lot :)

Thanks for your answer.

But way they advice to use a child theme when it don,t gets updates?
They write, to use the child theme because when there are updates your design will change and that is not what you want…so thats way you have to make a child theme. But i read that when the parent theme gets updates, the child theme gets it as well but the design won’t change…that is what i read.

so its confusing.

I would like to use the parent theme so that i get updates but i don’t want to make the design again because it was al lot of work :(… And i don’t want de design changes when there is any update …

How do I fix this without start again?

Hi Yigit,

Thanks you so much for your patients…

I hope i get it.

Just to be sure.

I instald the enfold theme, and put my users name en code in it, I made a child theme with the code in the instructions file en installed it in PFT.
I made my design in the child theme. so was written in the instructions. so far so good :)

But then here starts my confusion.
The parent theme gets updates, so the theme will works fine and i don’t get any problems.
But the child theme don’t get updates…..?

I read here in the comments that you will need updates so I had to klik the button in instal parent theme so that the child theme will react like a parent theme. but then everything will be overwritten and i have a blanc theme again.

Is it correct that when i use my child theme I made with the code you gave me in the instructions folder, my child theme will not be updated? or…..it will be updated without losing my design?

sorry sorry for my supped questions, but I want really be sure I do it correct :)

thanks you for your time and patients,

Hi Yigit,

Child theme never gets an update :) Always parent theme gets updates and since child theme inherits parent theme, child theme will inherit updated parent theme, so all is well.

this I do not understand? first you say child theme do not get updates. and than, since parent theme inherits child theme is updated parent theme as well? that’s two different things i think.

when I put my API code in the child theme you suggest than I get updates but my site will be overwritten when there is any updates and I lose my design?

sorry but this is so confusing for me.

oké thanks, i will put the API key in my child theme…my users name is that the name that is my license name?
or is it miss blues sky?

tis is it i will not bother you any further :-D

Oke thanks you so much. I did what you suggested thanks so much.

have a nice day :)
