Child Theme with different settings
9 replies · Started by Oleg on November 1, 2015
Hi!
I want to make some children templates with different settings in the menu. For example, there must be different width units in children's themes. I do not know how to do it. The templates are different, but the settings for all alone.
I'm not too sure what you mean? What exactly are you wanting to do?
You can put different CSS and functions into different child themes to accomplish custom functionality in each one.
I mean the following. Theme Settings affect all templates, including children. I want to make separate settings for different themes.
You can use the functions.php file in your child themes to change the default values: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-create-a-child-theme-that-comprehends-customizer-settings/#post-114781
Is that what you're wanting to do?
Yes, it is. But where to get the full list of variables for setting all add-ons? The link you provided only part of the variables.
Currently you can only tap into the default options, Colors, Typography and Spacing using the free theme. I edited that post I linked to so it includes the Spacing options as well.
Thanks for the info. Will the future support for other add-ons? I would like to set up children themes: Background, Blog, Menu Plus.
Those add-ons have their own scripts and files, so they won't be added to the core theme.
The three that are integrated are all handled by the functions in the topic above, so they are integrated.
The others would involve including other scripts and more files, which wouldn't make GP very lightweight anymore.
Thanks for the info!
You're welcome :)
