A child theme is a theme that inherits functionality of another theme, called the parent theme (The7). Child themes allow you to modify parent theme or implement additional functionality. Child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny or extensive changes. By keeping your customization in a child theme, you can always keep the parent theme up-to-date\u00a0without losing your modification.<\/p>\n
Basic example of a child theme is provided within full theme package: The7_v.x.x.x.zip\/Developer Tools\/the7-child-theme.zip<\/p>\n
Unzip it into \u2026\/wp-content\/themes\/ folder. There is nothing specific about child theme functioning \u2013 it works the same as a standard WP child theme. You can find more information here:<\/p>\n
Besides\u00a0the default templates (header.php, footer.php, page templates, etc), if you want to modify any core functions from\u00a0..\/dt-the7\/inc\/helpers.php, template-hooks.php, etc., copy the entire function which you want to modify to your child theme\u2019s functions.php and edit it there.<\/p>\n
