Child Themes

Even though this is a slow time of the year as far as videos being submitted, there is still a lot of great content that is worth mentioning.

This week we are going to feature two videos that discuss Child Themes. If you have been involved in WordPress for even a short amount of time, you have heard the benefits of using a child theme. You can read an article from the WordPress Codex here.

Nick Adams: Getting Started with Child Themes

At WordCamp Montreal Nick explains what child themes are and why they should be used. He then shows how to create a child theme using both a plugin as well as manually creating a new directory and putting in a custom style.css and functions.php file.

Torsten Landsiedel: The Child-Theme-Dilemma

From WordCamp Milano, Torsten has a presentation talk for people who don’t want to be a beginner any longer and need to be intermediates. Including a plugin solution.
