GeneratePress Child Theme Tutorial: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

I recently did a livestream where I shared the latest version of my Starter Site and several people commented about me using a GeneratePress child theme.
So, today I decided to make a video to show you how you can set up your very own GeneratePress child theme.

Great walkthrough! Super easy to follow, and I’ve got a couple tweaks to add to my starter site update this week 😄🙌

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad it was useful bud! :)

[@Gojiyaravi]

I watched the whole video just from seeing the thumbnail 😂.

[@TheAdminBar]

Did it feel weird to erase my youngest daughter's face out of one of our first pictures together (just moments after she was born) and replace it with a GeneratePress logo just to make a dumb KZbin thumbnail? Yes. Yes, it did.

Don't tell my wife 🤫

​@@TheAdminBarWe love GenerateBlocks and GeneratePress as our own child 😂.

[@user-lj6zv5xc1g]

thank you so much!

[@joshmay9531]

You are awesome.

Hi, I’ve reached a point where I’m unsure about the best approach to take. I have three options: Using the GeneratePress free version with a custom child theme, or Using the GeneratePress free version with code snippet plugins, or Upgrading to the GeneratePress premium. I have access to all these choices but I’m unsure about the best path forward. please guide me

Nice man

Thanks for this video, Kyle. I am currently developing a theme on top of GP but have done so with the GP main theme enabled. Now I am wondering how to port the customizations of the GP theme into the active child theme. Any suggestions?

[@riderrebolledo7477]

Hello, changes to the style sheet are not automatically reflected on the site but rather you have to clear the browser's cache. Is there any way to make the changes automatically?

[@randbaldwin]

Aren't child themes a thing of the past?

[@alexmorgan85]

No

[@TheAdminBar]

Some people would say WordPress is a thing of the past! But, I'm a dinosaur 🦕

[@randbaldwin]

Wordpress is a thing of the present. Sadly some people aren't keeping up with it. Child themes and pagebuilders are dead now.

[@randbaldwin]

The how has been covered ad naseum. The why has become more and more irrelevant. Don't get stuck in the past. Child themes are DEAD. Only a fool would still want to go that way. You probably still use elementor or divi LOL

[@PlekkieThuis]

Why are child themes dead?

[@TheAdminBar]

I just talked to my child theme and it's very much alive. You had me worried though! 😅 ;-)

@Kyle..., I'm getting a patchstack roadblock from the /generate link (same with /generate-youtube-bonus/). Access Denied Code 22. Just a heads up.
