How to convert x child to pro child theme

[kumpobiz]

Hi,
so I just purchased and installed the pro version
I’m using the x-child theme at the moment

I have installed the pro theme and changed my x-child theme style.css header to this

/*
Theme Name: Pro – Child Theme
Theme URI: http://theme.co/pro/
Author: Themeco
Author URI: http://theme.co/
Description: Make all of your modifications to Pro in this child theme.
Version: 1.0.0
Template: pro
*/

I went to appearance - editor and change the style.css header

but when i go back to the dashboard it still the x dashboard not the pro dashboard
so how to appropriately convert the x-child theme to the pro-child theme without loosing any customization that I have made

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! First take a backup of your current child theme. Then download Pro child theme from your Themeco dashboard and install. Then try placing your old child theme files into your new Pro child theme. Make sure place them in exact locations correctly.

For example if you have _content.php edited on the following path.
“x-child/framework/views/global/_content.php”
You need to place it on Pro child in the same exact path.
“pro-child/framework/views/global/_content.php”

Hope that helps.

I went through all the files in x-child folder which is only 2 files functions.php and style.css
none of them edited or changed

that means the changes that I made are in x theme folder?

Hi @kumpobiz,

It looks like it, the child theme is just a placeholder for customization. You’ll have to review your main theme’s files to see what’s customized and transfer it to your child theme.

Thanks!
