How To Create A Child Theme For WordPress - It's SUPER EASY, with this video

[@danielgandara5719]

I have to say Adam, when I want to find out something here on youtube I always type "how to do... wp crafter" Thanks once more for your tutorials. Because of your videos, I was able to learn a lot and for that, me and my family are save doing the quarantine here in Brazil. Good bless you, man! You have no idea how much I owe you.

[@mariofredrick1501]

Wordpress is great, and this channel explain its stuff better

[@russweaver1454]

great i gave up on word press about five years ago due to trying to code, speed up, build child themes. i am back! The world of wordpress has evolved and you are helping us evolve with it Thanks

[@WPCrafter]

You're welcome Russ! I will tell you that WordPress is an entirely different beast now and it is dramatically different and more powerful and also easier to work with.

[@ryanyu5051]

Thanks for your easy-to-understand video. I am a non-tech guy that need to buy my website. I have watched many video about child theme, and yours is the only one that I can understand and copy your steps. Appreciate your work.

[@WPCrafter]

Thanks for the compliment Ryan! And that's my goal to be up to explain things in a term that anyone can understand

[@MarijanPiano]

Dude I love you haha! I almost never have success with the first tutorial video I find on KZbin - Thank you so much!

[@WPCrafter]

Thanks for trusting in me, I think if you stick around you'll see that I'm offering the best and easiest to follow solutions for WordPress problems.

[@sukirtiarora3583]

I love your tutorials Marijan.

[@AnitabyDesign]

OMGosh! Thank you so much for this! I did all this work upgrading my site and didn't create a child theme. I knew nothing about this. I'm so glad to find out about this plugin. The best part is that it will save what I've already done. I was so afraid that I would have to start over from scratch since I was adding a child theme after the fact. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have zero knowledge about web design and this was very easy to do.

[@karinadeyanova8756]

2020 and still a valid helpful tutorial. Thank you!

[@harveylgordonusa]

There are many well intentioned, but poorly executed videos out there on the internet. Making a good video, on subject, clear, and "smoothly watchable" takes talent. This gentleman has it all! Thank-you. HLG

[@WPCrafter]

Wow! Thank you so much! I try to do my best with each video, and they are getting better and better each time.

[@enestrumicETPraxis]

I am a divi elegant themes customer and I spent so much time with their customer support and none of those mickey mouse tech. guys told me to make copies of the modified files into child theme, and again all my changes got lost after I updated parent theme. Thank you very much. You are our life savior and you should have a paypal donation button on your web. You well deserved some money from us as thank you for your help.

[@HomeStudioBasics]

Thanks so much man! I had a child theme on my site forever but it just sat there blank. I never bothered to figure out how to get the header from the parent to the child, and always just ended up making changes to the parent theme. Thankfully I did it right, but stumbling on this video by accident ended up being perfect timing as I needed to not mess something up like doubly so. Haha. Now I got a child theme and was able to send the header.php over! Thanks again!

[@omaracelys3217]

Thank you so much for this video, 2h of looking into documentation and trying different videos, and here you are! worked from the first time !

[@minbetmedia501]

I usually have to watch like 4 videos before finding the right answer when it comes to making changes to my site. I clicked on one video (this one) for this topic and it was fast, simple, and provided the perfect amount of detail. Thank you so much!

[@WPCrafter]

I'm glad this was helpful Minbet Media and thanks for watching.

[@DeniseNorthernJimmiesMama]

Oh my gosh, you just changed my life!!! I have been struggling to understand what the heck a child theme is. And in less than 10 minutes, you have made it so clear. And a big bonus, you gave me the info on how to use it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I'm going to be spending some time watching all of your videos in the next few days.

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you Denise & thanks for watching.

[@hmdnat]

You are always searching for the best & newest Stuff and present it to us. Thanks Adam.

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you. I rely on loyal subscribers to tell me what they want!!!

[@hmdnat]

Well, I guess making a tutorial about how to add or remove sections/division in any theme (Whether by a Plugin, CSS or PHP), will be really great.

[@rachelleroca8928]

Omg...you made it sound uncomplicated and it was to the point. This is my first video, so if I ever go through any issues on WP I'll stop by here first. Again, ty ty ty!

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you!

[@brendawheeler7594]

I cannot tell you how many videos I have viewed, and how many posts or documents I have read regarding this topic. I had already created my website when I heard about the need of creating a child theme. Only one other video came close to your video here; but your video explained in better detail about which plugin to select for those of us who had already created our website. What you said simply gave me the reassurance that I was selecting the best/correct plugin; and that all of my hard work and time was not going to be lost when I activated the child theme. You are an excellent teacher of this topic. I am so very grateful to you!! I will definately be utilizing you as a resource as I move forward; and I will definately be recommending you to anyone I find who will benefit from your videos, etc. Thank you!

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you Brenda for such a nice written comment. I am grateful that you appreciate that I go into a little bit more depth when explaining something like this. Some people not so much! I'll always be here for you.

[@AlisonStreetDesigns]

Thank You. You make it very easy to follow your instructions.

Hi Adam, after subscribing and watching your videos for some time, I now have a new habit of clicking the like button when I see your photo on a video, even before the video starts.

[@WPCrafter]

That's great news, that using this video you are able to create a child theme.

[@larryandrus1667]

Awesome! I consider myself a non-techie with above average WP skills, however Child Themes seem to stump me. This video has made it super easy to not only create but to also understand...........the people who gave this a thumbs down must be professional haters as this is by far the best video I have seen for instruction - THANK YOU

[@normanlove222]

I gave a thumbs up. This video saved me from doing all this manually, didnt know they had plugins for this :-) Thanks.

[@spiritualityjuice]

EVerything you do is straight forward and easy to follow. I'd gone through 3 others before landing on you ONCE AGAIN. so Next time I won't even waste my time searching. lol

[@tomevans5062]

Thank you for explaining. Now it all makes sense to me.

[@WPCrafter]

Happy to hear Tom! Thank you for watching.

[@envisiondr]

Great educational video on learning about and getting up to speed quickly on Child Themes. This should be a must read/view for everyone just starting out on Wordpress.

[@WPCrafter]

Wow! Thank you!

[@MrPablo8778]

Awesome Video. I followed your instructions step by step and worked perfectly. I couldn't get any help from my theme author to get this done but what you showed me worked. Thank you!!!!

[@WPCrafter]

Happy to hear it worked out for ya.

[@firdavsz]

a great and very intuitive way of creating child-theme. Thanks!

[@scottstough5030]

Perfectly and Quickly explained video. It calmed my anxieties of making a Child Theme.

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you Scott. It's crazy how easy it is but for some reason people explain in the most complicated. way.

[@marywarren5236]

Great, simple to understand. Thanks a lot.

[@WPCrafter]

You're welcome Mary.

[@GM-hb1gm]

Thank you, I was trying to do that for days, and all these people online talk the computer jargon (and are also very rude and frustrated with us non techies). It's nice to be able to do the tasks without all the knowledge. So thanks again for cutting the deal and rudeness and get straight to the point🤓👌💻

[@Nerbyoso_86]

Awesome Video! Take away all the frictions of working with wordpress themes.

[@jamieandrade7570]

Thank you that was super easy. I was putting off the child theme because everyone made it seem so complicated.

[@WPCrafter]

Your welcome, I know the feeling. Glad that my video made it easier.

[@Stooly]

Great video, thank you so much for the help!

[@WPCrafter]

Thanks Stella!

[@GetAClueMarketingShow]

💡Appreciate your explanation of child themes. Genesis themes been bugging me for years to create child theme. Nice and smooth demo - no coding.🔍

[@gunpharoahoffender3442]

Hey buddy your video is truly awesome !!! I have been using Joomla and wanted to move the site to WP because of the lovely Themes and functionalities. They say WP is easier than Joomla but you know a great site is not a cakewalk. You made my day with easy instructions and that too in a non-tech way. I am going through all your videos now. Thanks :)

[@WPCrafter]

Thanks so much, and I think the reason I feel that WordPress is a better direction is because it's where all the action is for development. There is such a vast array of themes and plug-ins available that makes it so easy to do things.

[@gunpharoahoffender3442]

I agree with you Adam. Thanks again!

[@becsta365]

awesome thanks so much for the very useful video - set it all up easy-peasy :)

[@WPCrafter]

Glad to hear that it was easy to do Rebecca.

[@thespeedyone2001]

Still works in 2021. Good stuff man, thank you.

[@davidcross7996]

this is amazing!! I've been putting this off for so long because all of the text based instructions I found were WAY too complicated.. Thank again!!

[@WPCrafter]

I know right. People over complicate things. Thats where I come in to translate it for normal people.

[@holigateadvancetechltd.3678]

Hey Adam!!! thanks so much for uploading all those wonderful tutorials. bye

[@pauls7056]

Amazing! As always, Adam, fantastically clear instructions. I went step by step through your explanation with my new website open and it worked....effortlessly! I always look for your videos first because you just get down to the matter and any small detours you make tend to be pearls of wisdom. I liked the way you showed the next steps about future CSS changes. Thank you for posting. Cheers, Paul

[@WPCrafter]

Hey Paul, I'm glad that you enjoy the videos that I put out and your willingness to listen to the little extra bits of info that I put in these videos.

[@novicetech1]

Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank you :-)

[@WPCrafter]

You're welcome!

[@tripsitter987]

this was SOOOO helpful. the footer.php part was gold. thank you!!! Also, I'm so happy about how it transfers my previous customizations. You really made my day. I'm only upset that I went to another video before yours and wasted so much time

[@tonyainva2147]

Thank you for this video. I must have watched 5 videos before I came across yours. You explain how to make child themes easy. Keep up the great work!

[@WPCrafter]

[@lazarjovovic4009]

[@scottish785]

Thanks had a suggestion to do this but the theme instructions for doing this was a bit over my head this made it super simple. Got to love KZbin when confused just find a video on it HA HA Thanks!!

[@WPCrafter]

I'm glad you found my video then because not all work this simple.

[@scottish785]

@@WPCrafter yeah cause someone in wordpress forum suggested a child them for a tweak I was making and while he did post the help article out there I find it much easier to learn by watching someone do it then I can easily repeat!!

[@Stormfox93]

Thanks for this very clear video instruction

[@wendysdesign]

This is so useful! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@Daryl_Weaver]

Perfect content for my needs. Can't wait to check out more of your instructional videos! I so appreciate all the time you and other contributors put into making this content available for non-programmers.

[@WPCrafter]

Yes it doesn't have to be so hard. People just explain it all wrong.

[@jeremymcglone2576]

hey, loved this video! best and easiest explanation I could find!

[@JasonThomas-bv2yw]

Excellent video. I love how WordPress makes it so easy to change the look and feel of your website quickly, and also having the control to modify any of the code wherever you want. WordPress gives an awesome base website to start off with. And it's so simple. But, I do recommend people learn some basic HTML and CSS; and eventually JavaScript. It's always good to be able to fix small issues yourself instead of paying 100's or 1000's on a web developer. Especially after you put a few months or years of work into your site. I was worried about losing data when creating a child theme, and this really helped. Now, I'm off to add some scripts. Thank you so much. :)

[@WPCrafter]

Yes some basic things are helpful to learn.

[@Boebap1]

Great video, thanks for explaning it so clearly, and mainly: for telling me there were plugins available to do it... Yeah, could / should have thought about that myself, but I didn`t, which was the reason for me to never make a child theme and do everything over and over again, after updating my parent theme... Long story short: a big thanks!

[@WPCrafter]

[@mattgraves3709]

Ah, good thing I am a software engineer in another space...things make a bit of sense. Turns out my theme was already a child of another, so I had to duplicate it. The option to separate the Stylesheet also seems more appropriate as I need to make changes to the color, but don't want to overwrite the existing child theme color. Let us see if I didn't screw the pooch here... Great video regardless of whether it was an apples to apples, I got the jist:)
