Twenty Twelve Child Theme redo work already done in parent theme

    We installed a twenty twelve child theme so that we could take care of the extra “Allowed markup…” after a reply (wanted to not show “Allowed markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li.” after comments. Installing the child theme style.css and the comments.php worked fine except that I noticed I had to reconfigure the dynamic widgets on every page/post for the parameters settings that had been set in the parent theme but were missing with the child theme. I also had to re-point to the header image that was set in the parent theme and basic customize options had to be re-done.

    I am using hostgator as my hosting site. Can anyone explain why all of this work had to be redone? Was there a bug fix or theme fix that took care of this issue that we need to get or is this normal and what I should expect on updates, etc.?

    Thanks

  • That work had to be done so WordPress could know those specific settings for your Child Theme just like it does for any other theme…and now you can switch to the default Twenty Twelve or any other theme at any time and your settings for each individual theme will still be there when you switch back.
