How can I set up a second Child Theme to not affect the main-site with silly experiments?
Hi There,
You need to clone your website to another enviroment.
You can clone using All in One Migration.
Or you can backup your child theme folder and do the experiments on the live site 
Hope it helps
Think I was not clear, what I meant exactly. I have a site
www.url.com running “x-child”
and a testsite under
test.url.com running “x-child2” - where I want to test stuff, before porting it to the mainsite
The correct answer would have been “Yes!”, it is possible
- go to “https://theme.co/apex/child-themes” download the theme
- extract folder, rename it to to e.g. “
x-child2” - edit
style.css
Original:
/*
Theme Name: X – Child Theme
Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/
Author: Themeco
Author URI: http://theme.co/
Description: Make all of your modifications to X in this child theme.
Version: 1.0.0
Template: x
*/
Change the “Theme Name: X – Child Theme” to your own name e.g. “Theme Name: X Child Theme 2”
/*
Theme Name: X Child Theme 2
Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/
Author: Themeco
Author URI: http://theme.co/
Description: Make all of your modifications to X in this child theme.
Version: 1.0.0
Template: x
*/
That is all, you can start experimenting.
www.url.com (x-child)
test.url.com (x-child2)
Hi There,
Yes, you can experiment in that way. However you will have to activate those child theme and switch between them each time when you’re experimenting. Our colleague suggested above is what we recommend for testing purposes.
Thanks!
