change the child theme name
8 replies · Started by ppmd on February 17, 2023
HI,
on my site I installed the free version of Generate Press and also created the child theme (we are planning to modify tags, insert functions and custom elements)
I installed the premium plugin, but a warning says that GP Premium requires GeneratePress to be your active theme: actually GeneratePress is the active theme but it is the child which we changed only the name with the customer name.
is there any way to fix and maintain the new name theme?
Hi there,
I would not recommend modifying the child theme name.
If it's absolutely required then try this:

Hello,
Changing the name of the parent and child theme is necessary.
The conversation you linked to me didn't help me though... I had already changed the name, what alarms me is the banner in the backend that warns me that the pro plugin only works if the GeneratePress theme is active.
GeneratePress is already active, but with a different name.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Hi there,
in your child theme styles.css the template header looks like this:
/*
Theme Name: GeneratePress Child
Theme URI: https://generatepress.com
Description: Default GeneratePress child theme
Author: Tom Usborne
Author URI: https://tomusborne.com
Template: generatepress
Version: 0.1
*/What does you header look like ? Can you share it here ?
This is my modify in the theme style.css
/*
Theme Name: ppmd child
Theme URI: https://generatepress.com
Description: Default GeneratePress child theme
Author: Tom Usborne
Author URI: https://tomusborne.com
Template: ppmd
Version: 0.1
Text Domain: ppmd
*/
A banner in the backend warns me with thi message:
GP Premium requires GeneratePress to be your active theme.
I just want to know, if despite the allert, the plugin works correctly
Change the: Template: ppmd to Template: generatepress
And that should remove the warning.
Thank you very much David!
it works perfectly :)
Glad to be of help
