Hello, I have just purchased the Colorway Pro theme and would like to set up a child theme that will protect my customizations when the theme is updated. Can you please explain how to do this? Thank you very much for your help.
Hello, Follow the link given below http://www.inkthemes.com/httpwww-in...rdpress-a-way-to-save-themes-modification/02/ I hope this will help you.
Hello Piyush I have read the article you mentioned. Basically, I think the best way to do this would be to make a second copy of the Colorway Theme and then rename it "Colorway Child Theme." Then upload it to the themes folder. Basically, I want to have all the functionality of the current Colorway Theme (custom css, etc.) and I want to be able to modify various files (functions.php, header.php, etc.) and have these changes remain whenever I update the theme. I plan to make a lot of customizations to the theme, but I still want to be able to update the theme and not lose any of the customizations. Isn't making a second copy of the full Colorway Pro theme and then renaming it "Colorway Child Theme" the best way to do this?
Hello, Create your child theme with the help of style.css as instructed in the above given blog link. After that copy only those .php files of Parent Theme in which you have already customized (or you want to customize) and paste them in the child theme folder and then edit these .php files of child theme as per your requirement. This will automatically override the original .php files of parent theme.
