Creating a WordPress child theme involves a few steps:
Create a new folder:
In your WordPress themes directory (wp-content/themes), create a new folder for your child theme. Name it something like "yourtheme-child."
Create a style.css file:
Inside the child theme folder, create a style.css file. Add the following code at the top:
/*
Theme Name: Your Theme Child
Template: yourparenttheme
*/
Replace "Your Theme Child" with your child theme's name and "yourparenttheme" with the folder name of your parent theme.
Activate the child theme:
Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to "Appearance" > "Themes," and activate your child theme.
Now, you can make modifications by adding files to your child theme folder, and WordPress will use them instead of the parent theme's files. Remember, any file in the child theme with the same name as the parent theme's file will override it.
