Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Child Themify

I catch a lot of flack for not using the method recommended to theme developers for including stylesheets, so hopefully you one-star fanatics will see this first and reconsider. This plugin is not creating themes for submission to the repo and it doesn't have any control over the quality of the theme it's extending. In order for this plugin to successfully enqueue the child theme AND parent theme's style.css, the parent theme has to actually enqueue its own stylesheet (not a given by a long shot), it has to be done using get_template_directory_uri(), not get_stylesheet_directory_uri() (also not a given), and, in order for the child stylesheet to be enqueued after the parent's (kind of important for a child theme), there has to be some kind of reliable naming convention for the enqueue ID in the parent theme (no such standard exists). On the other hand, @import just works. It's the only available method that gets the child theme working in virtually all cases out of the box. And if you really can't bear the thought of using @import, just edit the files after creating the theme so that it no longer uses it. It's your theme, you can do as you like with it.

This plugin only creates the theme for you. It doesn't do anything to the database, it doesn't do anything to your new child theme after you've created it. It only gives you buttons to create a child theme.

I'd really prefer that you use Github's issue tracker. The WordPress.org support forum for the plugin will work too, it will just take longer.
