To create a child theme in Wealthy Affiliate, go here...
This tutorial is to create a child theme using cPanel - (i.e. not hosted at WA).
If you want to make major changes to your Wordpress site, which requires editing php files, you should use a child theme. It's not difficult to setup, and is well worth the effort.
Being able to have complete control over the design of your theme's styling and functionality is beneficial in the long term.
So, don't be tempted to adjust the style.css or any other .php files in the parent theme, as your changes will be lost whenever the theme is updated.
Don't be frightened over html and css, they are both easy to learn, and of course there's loads of help here at WA as well as elsewhere to learn the basics to get you started. The more you do, the better you'll become!
Let's go and create our child theme...
EDIT: Okay, I found it! Turns out I had the capitalized my theme when it wasn't supposed to be :)
STILL one problem! Although all coding is now correct, it has not correctly copied my current theme.. for example, it is showing an old logo from a month ago ? Amongst other things. What would be the reason that it didn't copy the most recent version? (Understanding that these issues are unrelated to custom CSS)..
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Jen
