Child Theme Wizard

Description

The Child Theme Wizard lets you create a new child theme without the need for additional tools, right from within the WordPress admin interface. Once activated you can find it under Tools – Child Theme Wizard.

Specify a parent theme, customise options such as title and description and click Create Child Theme. Upon success you will find your new theme under Appearance – Themes.

You have the option to include GPL License Terms if you wish. The Wizard will automatically create a thumbnail too. In future versions I may include an image uploader for this feature.

I can recommend for sure. While WordPress shows this plugin as « untested with your version of WordPress » it works perfectly. Simple and fast. Got my Child Themes set up in just a few minutes in WordPress version 6.8.3 and no complications. I would recommend the developer does an update for the compatibility statement so his plugin gets the use and credit it deserves!

I don’t need anything fancy. I don’t need to have bells and whistles to give it 5 stars. It just has to do what I need done, and I’m happy. FYI: I’m not a bot. I’m leaving this same review on every plugin I use daily and that makes my life easier. I guess I can’t say this exactly same thing multiple times.

Two websites with wordpress 6.3 and no problems at all.. Very impressive this child theme is truly a wizard… it is responsive, all my menus were in place links, pictures, sliders and videos.. Thank you

I actually installed another plugin before this one. I wanted to check theme overrides on a VPS (Dreamhost) install. This worked, the other plugin did not! It was simple to use, although if a link to the page to generate could be placed on the plugin listing page, that’d be fantastic. One other minor comment, is that I feel all themes should be lower-case and it generated an uppercase folder… wp-content/themes/Twenty-Twenty-Child Really every theme should have this built-in, it’s a great utility and saves a lot of boilerplate generation.
