Meetup child-themes
- A child theme allows a theme to be customized without modifying the original parent theme files. It is dependent on the parent theme and only requires a style.css file.
- Child themes allow for future-proof customizations, rapid development by building on an existing theme, and overriding specific parts of the parent theme without changing the core files.
- The child theme style.css and functions.php files take precedence over the parent theme files. Template files are first looked for in the child theme before falling back to the parent theme files.

Customisations do not affect upgrades and allow websites to have tailored designs and functionality.
Using composer with WordPress
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Composer resolves dependencies declared in a composer.json file and installs the packages into a vendor directory.

Choosing Themes
Choosing the right theme for a website involves considering its structure, design, features, support and development options. Themes define what content is displayed and add style. Stick to themes from the WordPress directory or commercial providers to avoid limitations and encrypted code. Free themes, commercial GPL themes, and modifying or customizing existing themes are good options. Blank themes and frameworks can also be built from scratch if no existing theme fits.

Theme frameworks & child themes
A WordPress theme framework is a reliably coded theme that serves as a foundation for future themes. Child themes inherit functionality from a single parent theme and allow customizing a site's look and functionality. Child themes work by overriding or modifying the parent theme's functions and templates. Parent themes house a theme's design, functionality, and templates, and can use frameworks but are not frameworks themselves. While child themes provide upgradeability and customization, they can lower performance and be confusing to work with. Developers should focus on creating robust parent themes with simple child themes rather than complex child themes.

Child Theme
This document discusses child themes in WordPress. It defines a child theme as a theme that inherits functionality from a parent theme. Child themes allow modifications or additions to be made to the parent theme. Using a child theme is considered the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme. The document provides instructions on how to create a child theme and explains how child themes can be used to override CSS, template files, and functions from the parent theme. It also compares child themes to theme frameworks.
Intro to child themes
Child themes allow a theme to inherit elements from a parent theme while allowing customizations. They provide development speed since code for widgets, menus and layouts exist in the parent theme. Child themes also allow updates to the parent theme for security or new features without overwriting customizations. To create a child theme, a new folder is made in the themes directory and a style.css file that references the parent theme. Files with the same name in the child theme will override the parent theme files, except for functions.php which is included.
WordPress Child Themes
A child theme in WordPress allows a theme to inherit functionality from a parent theme while allowing customization without affecting core files when the parent theme is updated. Key benefits include the ability to update the parent theme without affecting the child theme, having a maintainable base theme, and easily experimenting with custom CSS, JavaScript, and other code. Creating a child theme involves making a new folder under wp-content/themes, adding a style.css file that references the parent theme, importing the parent stylesheet, and optionally adding additional files like functions.php and template files.

Rockford WordPress Meetup - Child Themes
A child theme allows you to customize an existing parent theme without modifying the original theme files. A child theme only needs a style.css file to inherit the parent theme's functionality and appearance. Using a child theme provides safe upgrades when the parent theme is updated and allows quick customization while reusing the parent theme's core development. To create a child theme, select a parent theme, create a child theme folder with a style.css file, and optionally add additional files like functions.php to override the parent theme. The child theme's files will then override the matching files in the parent theme.
Child Themes (WordCamp Dublin 2017) with notes
Child themes allow users to modify a parent theme without editing its core files. They are easy to create, requiring only a single style.css file specifying the theme name and parent theme directory. This prevents changes from being lost during parent theme updates. Using a child theme, users can change styles, templates, add new features, and override parent theme files. While most themes are designed to work with child themes, some may require additional workarounds if they do not properly support child theme functionality. Overall, child themes provide a simple and effective way to customize an existing WordPress theme.
WPAZ Child Themes

While we could use many different frameworks, premium and free themes to build our sites, I have found you need a truly custom framework to build a base to build new themes quickly to meet your project needs. This method to create a framework and then to create a child theme for the look of the site, will allow you build future sites quickly and efficiently. The session will cover why we choose this method and framework, the challenges we faced, how we tackled the challenge, and what we ended up building to solve the problem. I'll also reveal the pitfalls we discovered and how we overcame those as well.
