Hello Staff,

Apologies in advance if I’ve missed this in a previous post but it seems as I’m missing one crucial element in completing the child theme set-up. I’ve already reviewed your tutorial about setting it up and have already uploaded to my WordPress. Although, I have a few other questions:

1. Did I or do I need to export a copy of my current set-up?
2. Once I’ve uploaded the child theme, what do I do next? Do I just post code in the CSS form or am I supposed to copy a code from the parent theme to the child theme? If it’s the latter are you able to walk me step by step of how to accomplish that.Unfortunately, I can’t seem to locate the file.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and guidance.

Hi There,

When you say setup, you mean Customizer Settings right? Then no, but it is a good practice to always keep a backup in case something wrong happen on the process. You can download Customizer settings under Addons > Customizer Manager.

Child theme has already a style.css file. So if you have a Custom CSS that you want to be placed on that file (on the child theme), you can simple paste it there.

You’ll only do the copying of file from parent X|Theme thing, If you’re planning a modification to the X|Theme.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hello,

Thanks! Long story short, I’m trying to include a sign-up form from mailchimp to my website. Do I just copy the code to the css form? How do I instruct the location of the form?

Hi,

You can copy the mailchimp code into a raw content element and add it wherever you want in your page.

Hope that helps
