    I’ve moved this to Fixing WordPress as it’s not really a Developing with WordPress topic.

    How much PHP knowledge do i need to set up a child theme?

    Not that much. Which theme are you trying to create a child theme for? I may be able to walk you through it with the examples from that Codex article. Knowing which theme would help with the examples.

    If you google it you will find literally thousands of tutorials on creating themes and child themes.

    You will need a basic understanding of the PHP syntax to get the template pages set up correctly. Try CodeAcademy.com’s free php intro course. It will get you familiar with the syntax and basics. While you are there check out the HTML+CSS course too. It will take a few hours and you will have a solid foundation to help your future development efforts.
