    How do I install KuteShop Childs Theme

    Posted by: kelechi824 Sep 12, 2016 at 08:52 (8 year ago)
    Hello, please I have already installed Kuteshop theme and have already made some custom CSS changes as well as some function.php edits in the main theme. My question is:

    1.) How do i install the Kuteshop childs theme? (is there a video tutorial for this you can recommend?)
    2.) How do i ensure that the changes I have already made in my main theme is restored once i activate the new child's theme.

    The reason this is a concern is that every youtube tutorial video i have watched about this topic ALWAYS advice to operate CSS and PHP files with the childs theme as theme developers can update their theme at any time making me lose all my important changes. I am testing my hands on PHP and I want to be operating on the Childs theme in order not to mess with the main theme.

    Looking forward to your advice on the above two questions. Thank you.

    Hi kelechi824,
    We got your questions.
    You can install a normal child theme without prejudice to the main theme. When there is a change, you can change this directly on the child theme. You should not change the main theme because if you change it will fail when you update the new theme version.
    Thank you!

    Hello, yes but my question is "How" do I install the KuteShop Child's theme. Is there an instruction video for this? Or a documentation on how exactly to go about installing the child's theme for Kuteshop.

    Hello, Kazim, thank you for the prompt and detailed reply as always. I installed the Childs theme as instructed. Nothing was affected, my entire site still looks exactly the same (no CSS settings was lost). Will all my CSS settings be lost if the main Kutetheme is updated by you guys? Or will the, @import url("../kutetheme/style.css"); code in the child's theme ensure that i don't lose them.

    Should I continue adding my CSS in the Theme Options > CSS area (now that am running on the Child's theme) or should I be only making CSS changes via FTP > Kutetheme-child > style.css ? Thank you

    Or does theme updates only affect changes made in functions.php files.

    Hi kelechi824,
    Yes, it will be lost when you change anythings in the main theme and kutetheme>>style.css file also. You can add css in the theme options or Kutetheme-child>>style.css.
    About the last question, the function.php will be changed when you update theme.
    If you have any question, please contact us.
    Thank you.
