Setting up a Child Theme

When customizing a theme, the best practice is to create a child theme. This way, when you update the parent theme, all of your changes will still remain intact. Creating a child theme is very simple if you use the steps below.

• Using your preferred FTP client, navigate to the “themes” directy inside the “wp-content” directory and create a directory titled “nuovo-child”.
• Once there, create a style.css file and add the following lines of code in there and save.

  /*
  Theme Name: Nuovo Child
  Description: Child theme for Nuovo theme
  Author: <your name> 
  Template: nuovo
  */

• Then create a functions.php file and add the following code and save.

  <?php function nuovo_child_theme_styles() {
          wp_2_enqueue_style( 'child-theme-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
  }
  add_action( 'wp_2_enqueue_scripts', 'nuovo_child_theme_styles' ); ?>
