I’ve seen a couple articles posted about renaming and setting up a child theme. I’ve read the Themeco documents about how and why you use a child theme. I’ve been leveraging the child theme for years now.
What it doesn’t explicitly say is if the child theme can be renamed to something than pro-child.
Can someone confirm if modifying the style.css sheet with a new name will be effective in renaming the child theme?
Hello @wbgTHEMECO,
Thanks for writing in!
You can always have a different Child theme name. You can even have a different folder name. The Child theme’s style.css can also be edited. They only thing that does not need to change is the name of the parent theme. In you child theme, you can have something like this:
/*
Theme Name: Another Name
Theme URI: http://example.com
Author: Some One
Author URI: http://some.one/
Description: Nulla imperdiet urna sed lacus cursus rutrum id at odio. Donec laoreet tincidunt risus in aliquet.
Version: 1.0.0
Template: pro
*/
Template: pro must not change because that is the only reference that the parent theme is Pro theme which is located in the pro folder. For more details on how to create your own child theme, you can check this out:
Hope this helps.
