Overview

Child Theme Configurator is a highly efficient WordPress utility designed to streamline the process of creating and customizing child themes. This plugin empowers users to delve deep into the intricacies of their themes, enabling them to easily identify and modify specific CSS attributes beyond what is possible with the standard WordPress Customizer. Its comprehensive Analyzer tool scrutinizes the theme, automatically setting up the child theme and ensuring optimal performance by correctly enqueuing stylesheets. Users can visualize customizations before applying them, guaranteeing their changes align with their vision. Additionally, it offers advanced functionalities like the seamless editing of theme templates, incorporating web fonts, and managing responsive design CSS. For developers, features like exporting child themes as Zip Archives and leveraging the WP Filesystem API ensure an efficient workflow. The PRO version extends these capabilities to installed plugins, making it an indispensable tool for complete site customization. With Child Theme Configurator, managing and customizing WordPress child themes becomes a precise and risk-free endeavor.

Update Themes Without Losing Customizations

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its ease of use, reliability, and efficiency in creating child themes. It simplifies a typically tedious process and preserves customizations from the parent theme, including theme settings and CSS. Many users highlight its ability to seamlessly create a child theme without breaking the site or losing progress. However, drawbacks include compatibility issues with newer versions of WordPress or themes, potential security concerns with file permissions, and occasionally lackluster support particularly for pro version issues. Some users experience site crashes or lost changes after updates, suggesting that the plugin may not be foolproof. Despite its shortcomings, it is largely praised for its functionality and convenience.

Excelente plugin, funciona perfeitamente. Só uma sugestão: Poderia ter um ambiente simplificado para criar o tema filho. Porque devido a muitas funções que aparecem, pode acabar confundindo muita gente e acaba não sabendo utilizar. Tivesse apenas um botão de gerar o tema filho e uma opção avançada seria útil. Aqui tem funcionado só gerar logo o tema filho sem precisar mexer em nenhuma outra opção.

This plugin is outdated since Divi version 4.25.0 . If you use it after that it will make use of code that is too old. The effect of that is that there is no way to add/edit any elements at all. In functions.php of the child theme, you have to add this code: <?php function my_theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' ); In style.css of the child theme, you have to remove this: @import url("../Divi/style.css"); This information came from the support team when they helped me solve my issues. You can find more info about this at: elegantthemes dot com slash blog slash divi-resources slash divi-child-theme(RIDICULOUS that they don’t allow to post links to explanations here. How else can I help?)

Ooh yar! This plugin makes the best of the utterly weird and crazy WordPress “child” thing with themes. Life is now so much easier.
