I have created a Enfold child theme exactly as it was outlined in support video (http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/). After seeing new posts – like Jordon’s responses to “child looks very different to parent theme” I need clarity.
When I first installed Enfold I forgot to make a Child immediately and imported a demo THEN made a child theme. The video expressly says near the end “It’s better NOT to do this.
Should I ….
1) Reinstall WP
2) Install Enfold
3) Make Enfold child … THEN
4) Import demo on Child?
Also, this looks very complicated to me> https://digwp.com/2016/01/include-styles-child-theme/
Hey WilburDean,
You can simply download pre-built child theme here – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/ and install it. After activating child theme, please go to Enfold child theme options > Import & Export and import parent theme options. Then you might need to save your theme options to flush dynamic stylesheet.
If you have made any changes on theme files on parent theme, please move them to your child theme. For modified ALB elements, please refer to this post – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/add-new-or-replace-advanced-layout-builder-elements-from-child-theme/
To be on the safe side, we recommend you to create a testing installation – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/move-from-a-local-installation-to-a-live-server/ and try the changes there firstly
Best regards,
Yigit
