Seems to work now in 2.8 except for one major problem.
If you use the admin interface to edit a theme file (which granted seems a bit trying):
- You can’t tell whether a file is from the child or parent theme
- When you edit a file that’s only in the parent theme, it changes the parent theme file
Seems to me the whole purpose of a child theme is to make the parent theme immutable, and for the child theme’s files to be used instead. That means that if you edit a file in the admin editor, and it loads a parent theme file, it should save in the child theme directory, creating a new (customized) child theme file if it doesn’t yet exist.
