  1. It's sad that I had to spend 1 hour on someone's website explaining how to manually do this and I said screw that and came here. Sure glad I did cause in a couple of clicks I was done. Cheers! Oh…. I copied over the style CSS to the child so that I could edit everything in the child CSS without fear of over writing during main theme updates. I did however leave the CSS top of the page intact.

  2. Thanks for this video, long needed. I have two doubs. One- Does this affect my SEO ranking of the original website? 2nd- It's an old video. Does this plugin still do the job perfectly? Please guide.

  3. Thanks so much! I have one question, my website is fast finished, is it still ok to make a child theme now? When I active the child theme, can my design still alive? or will the website just come to the beginning view of the parent theme?

  4. Any idea why my theme would not appear in the drop down menu ? It's called "trending blog" and apparently it is a child theme from galway lite. So I'm guessing we can't have grandchildren?

  5. Ah, good thing I am a software engineer in another space…things make a bit of sense.
    Turns out my theme was already a child of another, so I had to duplicate it.
    The option to separate the Stylesheet also seems more appropriate as I need to make changes to the color, but don't want to overwrite the existing child theme color.
    Let us see if I didn't screw the pooch here…
    Great video regardless of whether it was an apples to apples, I got the jist:)

  6. this was SOOOO helpful. the footer.php part was gold. thank you!!! Also, I'm so happy about how it transfers my previous customizations. You really made my day. I'm only upset that I went to another video before yours and wasted so much time

  7. which one is better ? 1: create child theme with plugin or 2 : create child theme without plugin, and use file manager and create new folders and copy and paste files …… ???
