Hello,
How hard is it to create and activate a child theme for a running website? Will it brake the site currently running if i follow directions in your child theme video?
I would like to upgrade my enfold theme but am afraid it will brake my current site hence would like to use child theme.
Also, how do i manually upgrade enfold theme? Theme update option is not working when i try to upgrade through WP (i am connected through API).
I am currently running:
WorPress: Version 4.5.1
Enfold: Version 3.4.7
Thank You
Hey flyworxatl,
Thanks for getting in touch with us!
You can just follow the steps in the video http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/portfolio-item/create-a-child-theme/.
Just ensure that you have made no change to the Enfold theme files directly.
To update manually you can follow the instructions here: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/portfolio-item/update-theme-files-with-ftp/
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Best regards,
Jordan Powell
Thanks Jordan,
Do i create child theme before updating?
Thanks
Hi,
Yes it would be good to create the child theme first. Then update the parent theme once the child theme is created.
