    I have made a few minor changes to my Enfold theme, but I never created a Child Theme. Is it too late to do that now? What do you suggest.

    Hey sumio17,
    Please use our pre-built child theme
    You will want to take a couple of steps, 1: please export your theme settings at: Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Export Theme Settings File to your computer, this is just for backup.
    2: Once you install your child theme, please import your parent theme settings at:
    Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Import Settings from your Parent Theme
    Then you’ll need to re-set your menu options.
    Finally, sometimes it is necessary to save your theme options one more time, to encourage the settings to be saved and activated in the merged /wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/ folder, a simple way to do this is to go to General Styling > Quick CSS field and place a space in the field so the theme options “Save all changes” button is clickable.

    You can then add your customizations to the child theme.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi,

    I’m just getting back to this and would like you to just confirm the steps I need to take.

    1. I have Enfold and the Enfold Child theme loaded on my WordPress site. Currently, the Enfold theme is active (I have been using this for a year.)
    2. I now need to export my theme settings at: Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Export Theme Settings File to my computer
    3. Activare the Enfold Child theme and import my settings from Step 2. (Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Import Settings from your Parent Theme)
    4. Name this new theme “MyEnfoldChildTheme” (or whatever).
    5. Reset my menu options (what do you mean by this)?
    6. From your previous email “Finally, sometimes it is necessary to save your theme options one more time, to encourage the settings to be saved and activated in the merged /wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/ folder, a simple way to do this is to go to General Styling > Quick CSS field and place a space in the field so the theme options “Save all changes” button is clickable. ”

    So with these steps, I should now have an Enfold Child Theme based on my customizations, right? Is there anything else I should do?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Hi,
    Step 2 is so you will have a backup of the theme settings “just in case”
    so in step 3 please import your parent theme settings from: Enfold Theme Options > Import/Export > Import Settings from your Parent Theme you won’t see this button until the child theme is activated.
    Please don’t do step 4, there is no renaming the child theme in these steps.
    In step 5, you may need to select the correct menu to show, not always, but only if the correct menu is not showing.
    Step 6 is only if your css is not showing correctly.
    Please review this documentation about the child theme.

    Best regards,
    Mike
