Hello !
I am using a child theme on
http://www.understand-culture.comI have a coder in the UK.
His customization is deleted
whenever the WP version is updated.He created a child theme.
Most likely as recommended by you folks !I just created a new site:
http://www.discuss-culture.comIs it possibly to export/import
the child theme from one GP-site
to another GP-site?Thanks !

Hi there,
Child Themes are their own theme and are saved in your sites
/wp-content/themesfolder.
So you can access that folder via FTP, download it to your desktop, zip it up. And then you can upload it as a theme to any of your sites.I googled “Generatepress child theme.”
Sent me to the GP-description.From there I can’t remember what I did.
So many keystrokes today since 8 a.m.I suspect that I created a new child theme.
I then activated it.
It seems to have not messed anything up.When creating apply-culture.com
do you suggest I take the same approach
or do what you recommend above?I assume that there are advantages to
taking your approach.Let me know. Thanks, David !
Ok … i have to say i am little bit confused 🙂
Lets go back to basics.
This doc here explains adding a child theme:https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
And it includes a link to a blank child theme:
https://generatepress.com/api/themes/generatepress_child.zip
You can simply upload the .zip into your Dashboard > Themes and activate that child theme.
—————
I assumed your developer had added code to the Child Theme and you wanted to use it on other sites.
Yes, David, I think I added a blank child theme.
In fact, that had to have been the case.You write:
“I assumed your developer had added code to the Child Theme and you wanted to use it on other sites.”Yes, that is the case.
Which means I need to take the route you recommend above.
I’ll do that now. And let you know how it goes.Ok, no problem getting to that folder with
the name: generatepress_child.However, I am not sure how to make a
copy to my desktop. I don’t see that option.If mess it up it messes up the site:
understand-culture.comThat worked, David.
Thank you !Glad to hear that!
