Customizr: Child Theme – Bad Instructions – childify me plugin

  • Heads up. The instructions listed on your page in the Developer Docs section: https://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/24-creating-a-child-theme-for-customizr needs to be updated. The instructions fail to describe the one step that is absolutely required for creating a child theme, which is to add code to functions.php enqueueing the parent theme’s style.css.

    Worse yet, the instructions described as “recommended for beginners also fails. The plugin you link to “Childify Me”, does everything you describe. However it provides a functions.php file that is completely empty.

    Compare to the instructions listed on the official WP Codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes and you will find the functions.php must include a function that directly enqueue’s the parent theme’s style.css.

    When I followed your instructions, it completely took down my site. Only after reading the WP Codex was I able to apply the correction and get my site back up and running.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi,

    Not sure which step you are doing it wrongly which crashes your website.

    There is no need to add any code in child theme’s functions.php
    If you take a look at the source code, the child theme’s style.css is already loaded in header and after the style file of Customizr Theme.

    Please see my screen-cast.

    I am able to use Childfy me plugin to create a child theme, and add codes in the child theme’s style.css to change the font-size and color of homepage post grid’s post title.

    You can see in my screen-cast, everything is working properly.

    Thank you
