Child Theme Customizations

Custom Child Theme Page Section (Cloning Parent Template)

This method involves copying a parent theme’s page template into your child theme and modifying it.

1. File Structure:

your-wordpress-installation/
└── wp-content/
    └── themes/
        ├── your-parent-theme/
        │   └── page.php         <-- Parent theme's page template (example)
        │   └── ...
        └── your-parent-theme-child/
            ├── style.css
            └── page.php         <-- Cloned and modified page template
            └── functions.php    (optional)

2. Changes in Child Theme’s style.css:

/*
Theme Name:   Your Parent Theme Name Child
Template:     your-parent-theme-slug
Version:      1.0.0
*/
@import url(‘../your-parent-theme-slug/style.css’);
/* ============================================
   Add your custom styles below this line
============================================ */

3. Changes in Child Theme’s page.php:

  • Copy: Duplicate the page.php file from your parent theme (your-parent-theme/page.php) into your child theme (your-parent-theme-child/page.php).

  • Modify: Edit the child theme’s page.php to add your custom section. Use conditional tags to target specific pages if needed.
