    Hi,
    I’ve followed the video tutorial on creating a child theme and downloaded the child theme here:

    This requires the import of the parent theme after it is uploaded and activated.

    However, in the wordpress codex here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes , it mentions that “the previous method was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import: this is no longer best practice, as it increases the amount of time it takes style sheets to load.” They suggest enqueing via the functions.php file which is quite complex (I’m not a developer) as there are many CSS files in the Enfold theme and each need to be enqueued (according to the codex).

    Question: Is there a new downloadable Child Theme apart from the one at http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/ which uses the process suggested in the WordPress Codex?

    If no, what do you recommend to be done for Child Theme installation. Should I use the original files at your link and use the import procedure? ultimately, i want some flexibility that each time I update (in the future), I don’t have to update any changes I may have made.

    Thanks

    Regards,
    Andre

    Hey Andre,

    The same CSS files are still used, the only difference is that you are using a child theme. So it’s not really something you have to worry about.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
