Hi There,

Great theme! I can’t seem to find the folder/zip to upload the child theme. Can you send it to me?

Thanks,

Blake

Hello,

We do not have a folder/zip to upload the child theme, it must be created.
You may read how to create child theme here http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Hello,

We don’t provide with child theme archive. You need create a new folder via FTP, for example “legenda-child”, then create style.css file inside of it as described in this article http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes (please read it carefully).

Eva Kemp.

I followed the directions to a T… multiple times… but I haven’t had any luck. The site is loading without any CSS. Here is what the style sheet looks like in the child directory:

/*
Theme Name: Legenda Child Theme
Theme URI: https://www.8theme.com/
Author: 8theme
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/8theme
Description: ThemeForest Premium Theme
Template: legenda
Version: 2.2
License: GNU General Public License version 3.0
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
*/

/*
@import url(“../legenda/style.css”);
*/

/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */

I too am having problems implementing the child theme. I have used the code you laid out above but when I activate the child theme it appears as though the css from the parent theme is largely missing. Here is how I entered the child theme style.css. Could you please check to see what is wrong? FTP credentials are included in the private content.

/*
Theme Name: Legenda Child
Theme URI: http://thestatisticalmind.com
Description: legenda Child Theme
Author: MyName
Author URI: https://www.8theme.com
Template: legenda
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: legenda-child
*/

@import url(“../legenda/style.css”);

Hello @scolwell,

The credentials are incorrect.
Please provide us with wp-admin and FTP credentials as well.

I’ve replaced quotes in legenda-child/style.css as they were copied incorrectly. Now the child theme is working fine. Please check from your side and clear browser cache before.

Hi
I have a few questions:

1 do I have to copy the custom.css too in child directory?
2 if I change for example the colors of the star used for the rating, do I have to create a directory /images/ in child theme directory and past the file in it?
3 what about the localization I did with the files it_IT.po and it_IT.mo, same as above create the directory languages and past there the files?

thank you for help!

Hello,

1. You don’t need copy custom.css to child theme folder. You can make style changes in style.css file of the child theme.
2. Yes, you’re right.
3. You don’t need move .po files to the child theme directory. They work only in a parent theme. Also your .po/.mo files in the parent theme won’t be overwritten after the theme update. So you shouldn’t worry.

Thank you.
Regards,
Eva Kemp.
