New to GP and GP Premium: correct setup?
5 replies · Started by Emmanuelle on March 13, 2017
Hi,
I have just started using the GeneratePress theme with GP Premium (v. 1.2.94), along with Beaver Builder Plugin (Lite Version) and PowerPack for Beaver Builder.
Really enjoying working on this and I have already created 4 or 5 pages.
I am about to do some customisations (to the menu, CSS, etc).
Questions are:
- should I install / activate a Child Theme?
If so:
- can you send me some detailed instructions? and most importantly:
- will I lose the customization I have applied to my site? (there is no custom CSS, just the usual: Site Identity, Layout, colors, Typography, etc)
- is my content safe or will I need to redo all my pages?
Hope to hear from you soon so I can continue working on my site safely.
Thank you!
Manu
Hi Manu,
This page should answer those questions: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
If you are only using the customizer options then child theme is definitely not needed.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi Leo,
Thanks for the info. I feel safer having the child theme as we will most likely do a lot of custom work. I think I got it working. My active theme is now:
GeneratePress ChildVersion: 0.1 By Thomas Usborne
Default GeneratePress child theme (This is a child theme of GeneratePress).
and I will always update:
GeneratePressVersion: 1.3.45 By Tom Usborne.
That should work, right?
Manu
Yup you should be good to go!
Great thanks Leo
You're welcome :)
