Tagged: Enfold child theme
I love your work!
I have just started modifying the main Enfold site theme and have suddenly realized that I will want to make some small, but significant code changes and that I should be working on a child theme so that I can update the main theme without losing any modifications. I do not want to have to redo what I have already done, which is:
1. Changed logo
2. Added Woocommerce and configured 6-products
3. Added one menu for the store
4. Have activated a couple plug-ins such as Social Media Pro
5. Set some basic theme preferences in “settings”
I would like to copy all the files I have modified to the enfold-child theme folder and then replace the enfold main theme with a fresh and unmodified version.
Here is the site so far: http://novabook.us/novabookblog/ t will eventually be the main site and not in a subdirectory.
My question is, which exact files do I need to copy into the enfold-child folder to keep the work I have done so far–so that when I change themes to the child and replace the main theme with a fresh new version the site will look and function exactly as it is now.
My gal is to be able to update the theme without the possibility of losing any modifications I have made to the design.
Thank you.
Hey blaircomm!
No theme settings are stored in files that you could transfer over. When you activate your child theme you’ll have a new option in the theme settings to import the parent settings.
WooCommerce will be uneffected as will plugins. You may need to re-set which menu is which in the menus manager however.
