Child Theme Instructions – None Found For Neve

    I was at your documentation pages for the Neve theme, at your website ( https://docs.themeisle.com/article/14-how-to-create-a-child-theme )

    There is no documentation specifically showing any Child Theme install instructions for the Neve Theme. The link above is a general instruction, but the real issue is the following statement in that document,

    Each theme has its own way of enqueuing all the scripts and necessary files, which is why this document may need few tweaks for some of them

    That really made your documentation useless because there was no way to confirm that the Neve theme needed any special tweaks to the child theme install. Apart from that being really annoying, your site made no follow-up for the Neve theme to confirm what it needed for a child theme install.

    So I ask here,

    • What is required to create a child theme for the Neve theme please?
    • Are there are special tweaks, what are they (or have a valid link to the instruction page??)
    • …or do we just follow the instructions from WordPress Codex, (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes)?

    Appreciate your help, Thanks

  • Hi @mwarbinek,

    We just released an update to make sure the theme can be easily used with a child theme. We also updated the documentation here with a special mention for Neve https://docs.themeisle.com/article/14-how-to-create-a-child-theme.
    Please let me know if that helps.

    Regards,
    Rodica

    Could I ask, what is the “Views” folder used for in the theme?
    (/wp-content/themes/neve/views/).

    Thanks

    Hi @mwarbinek,

    The views folder contains the templates for the theme’s sections.

    Hi. Point no. 3 from – How to create a child theme for Neve(https://docs.themeisle.com/article/985-how-to-create-a-child-theme-for-neve) it says,”Localize the views folder inside Neve ( in the root of the folder ) and copy it inside the child theme’s folder.”

    Can anyone please tell me how to localize the views folder?

    Hi @aakashpradhan,

    It can be, for those whose English is a second language (if it is with you), that word usage can be confusing, especially when common English words are used for website & script coding, which adds a totally different usage to the word.

    Best way is to understand the context of how the word is used, in this case the documentation says,

    “Localize the views folder inside Neve ( in the root of the folder ) and copy it inside the child theme’s folder.”

    I made the key words/phrases italic to indicate the context of the use of “localize”. I showed it this way so those with English as a second language can hopefully figure out in what meaning and reference the word is using.

    So the documentation says, “to locate” the views folder in the main theme (Neve), copy the Views folder, and copy the folder and its content into the Child theme folder.

    Remember, you must have the same folder structure in the Child theme as it is shown in the main theme folder for this to work. Example,
    Main Theme > folder > folder > folder

    Translates to the Child Theme folder as,
    Child Theme > folder > folder > folder

    Hope that helps.
