Cannot find child theme via FTP
5 replies · Started by Morgan on September 2, 2021
Hello!
I am trying to make a few custom tweaks that involve creating a child theme. I THINK I've created the child theme successfully - as it shows up under appearances as the selected/activated theme. But when I go back to my FTP panel, I only see the original folder. Where do I edit my new child theme style.css and functions.php?

Hi Morgan,
You can use Appearance> Theme editor to add CSS and PHP functions to your child theme.
Let me know if this helps :)
Thank you! I suppose the child theme doesn't show up as a separate folder when looking at the files via FTP?
It does show up as a separate folder called generatepress_child in the themesfolder.
Ah I see it now thank you
No problem :)
