Hi there,
I have just installed my new enfold theme on WP. But I also have just read that there is a pre-made Enfold child-theme. I downloaded it.
How can I proceed to install it if my theme is already activated on WP?
Is it advisable to install the child theme?
Please send me some instructions.
Thanks a lot
upload it and activate it on dashboard
in Enfold Child Theme Options it might be necessary to goto Import Data – the button at top “Import Parenttheme Settings”
I think a Child Theme is a good advice because if you have to change something in your Theme Code it will not be lost by updating the Parent Theme.
A lot of changings here on Board Support work via child-theme functions.php (first of all it is an empty functions.php in the child-theme folder)
f.e. activating the custom.css on template builder elements
add_theme_support('avia_template_builder_custom_css');
or to show in lightbox the full-size image and not the large one:
add_filter('avf_avia_builder_masonry_lightbox_img_size', 'avia_change_gallery_thumbnail_link', 10, 1);
function avia_change_gallery_thumbnail_link($size)
{
return "full";
}
etc pp. the support is full of such changings.
Hey!
Like @Guenni007 wrote, just upload the child theme to your theme folder via FTP or Appearance–>Themes–>Add New via the Dashboard, then activate it. A child theme is good if you want to make changes to any of the source files or add/remove functionality.
Best regards,
Rikard
Thanks!
