Multiple Childs- Can You Save Layout, Content, etc?

  • I’m trying to create several Woothemes Canvas child themes so I can setup different styles/layouts and choose which I like best. Basically have 3-4 versions to chose between for the final release.

    I tried to duplicate my child1 last night to make child2 (all getting info from parent) and then removed (from child2) my header, primary menu, footer, changed the width to full 1600 (from 960px), trashed pages, and a few other tweaks.

    This morning I found that by doing this to child2, it changed the same items in my parent/child1.

    Can I have 3-4 completely different looking, functioning, etc child themes that I can work on?

    Thanks,

    Bryan

  • Changing to a child theme will leave you with the same content, widgets. If you want different content, settings, etc for each child theme you’ll need separate sites for each one.

    Each site doesn’t have to be a different domain though. I can set up something like domain.com/site1, domain.com/site2, domain.com/site3.

    there’s a plugin that you can get called orbisius child theme creator that will let you make as many child themes as you want, even from the same parent. it’s super easy to use and edit. it makes the theme and then adds an editor with the style.css

    Thanks girlspeaksgeek for the nice words about our plugin ??

    Thanks everyone! I’ll check out the plugin. Through research, I found another option for Woothemes Canvas of exporting your “all content” and “theme settings” then importing when you want to switch looks.

    Cheers!
