I talk about what a child theme is in wordpress and what are its use, when is it best to use Child theme and how you can be a good person using child theme and choosing the right parent theme for your project.
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.
- A child theme allows customization of an existing parent theme without modifying the parent theme files. It is dependent on the parent theme and only requires a style.css file.
- Child themes make customizations future proof, allow building on a consistent codebase, and can override or add functionality to the parent theme.
- The child theme style.css and functions.php files override the parent, while other files are checked in the child theme directory first before falling back to the parent.
Intro to WordPress Child Themes (NERDS Sept 2014)Kelly Dwan
So you've been playing around with WordPress. You feel like you've really gotten the hang it. However, you're starting to run into limitations with how much you can customize your site. The next step toward creating an entirely custom WordPress site is to create a child theme. A child theme is a theme which is based on another theme (the "parent theme"), and can override and/or add to the look and functionality of the parent theme.
This session is for: people who have made an HTML/CSS website, used WordPress, and run into customization limitations
A child theme in WordPress inherits the functionality of another "parent" theme and allows customizing or adding to its features. Using a child theme allows updating the parent theme without losing customizations and saves development time. To create a child theme, make a new folder in /wp-content/themes/ with at least a style.css file to override styles from the parent theme. This allows customizing the parent theme's design while receiving future updates.
- 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.
This document provides an overview of WordPress themes:
1. Themes determine the look and style of a WordPress site and allow customizing templates and styles. Common themes include Twenty Twelve, BaseWP, and GovPress.
2. WordPress.org allows installing any theme, while WordPress.com only offers a selection of pre-approved themes. Child themes make it possible to customize parent themes without breaking updates.
3. Advanced theme customization includes creating custom templates, loops, and entire themes from scratch. Theme files like header, footer, and template parts can be edited.
Custom Menu Support for WordPress ThemesDaisyOlsen
This document discusses custom navigation menus in WordPress themes. It provides an overview of template tags used for navigation like wp_list_categories() and wp_list_pages(). It also covers functions for registering custom menus like register_nav_menu() and inserting menus with wp_nav_menu(). An example is given of converting a categories navigation to use a custom menu by registering a menu location and using wp_nav_menu().
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.

- Why to use child themes to easily update the parent theme without overwriting customizations.
- Who should use child themes, such as web designers, multi-site users, and theme authors.
- How child themes work by looking for template files in the child theme directory first, then the parent theme.
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.
Introduction to WordPress Child Theming, WordCamp Kansas City, 2015topher1kenobe
The document introduces WordPress child themes, which allow customizing a parent theme's styles and templates without losing those customizations on theme updates.

Child Themes (WordCamp Dublin 2017) with notesDamien Carbery
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.
Get_template_part is used to load template files in WordPress. It loads a child template file based on the $slug and $name parameters, with $slug representing the parent file and $name the child file. If the child file does not exist, it will load the parent file. In the Twenty Ten theme, get_template_part is used to load files like loop-index.php, following the naming convention of $slug-$name.php. This allows easier development of template files for themes and child themes.

WordCamp NEO 2016 presentation "Custom Responsive Theme Workshop" by David Brattoli
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.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
9. Enter: Child Theme
• Inherits the functionality of parent theme
• Allows you to:
- Modify Parent theme
- Add Features to the Parent theme
• Safest and easiest way to modify
11. Like Father Like Son
Is just like the parent.
A little modification here and there
A little features added here and there
12. Changes are lost while updating, parent theme
Why use Child Theme?
Speeds up Development Process
Overrides the parts of parent theme that you specify,
without actually changing the theme itself.
13. Great another week or two of
learning
Nope, this is easier than most of you have
thought it would be.
This is moreover like any other theme.
23. Working with Templates
Simply create a file with same name and it
overwrites same file from Parent theme
Eg: header.php in child replaces parent’s header.php
26. Including a File
• require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/my_included_file.php' );
why get_stylesheet_directory()?
Because get_template_directory() returns Parent themes path.
• get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
Note:
It looks for say, content-video.php on child theme, if not found; before falling back
to content.php on child. Searches for the file in parent.
27. Handling Functions
• Child’s, functions.php is loaded before
Parent’s functions.php
• you can make the user functions replaceable
by a child theme, by declaring them
conditionally
28. Handling Functions
Make sure your parent theme has functions defined
this way.
if ( ! function_exists( 'theme_special_nav' ) ) {
function theme_special_nav() {
// Do something.
}
}
29. But wait…
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
• Be wise: “Measure Twice, Cut Once”
• Almost anyone can become a parent, but not all are good
parents. And same applies for themes.
30. Good Parent and Bad Parent
• Good Parent's functions look like:
if ( ! function_exists( 'do_this' ) ) {
//Something here
}
• Bad Parent's functions look like :
function do_this(){
// Something here
}
31. When not to use Child theme?
• When you are creating a theme and know, you won’t
update
• Using a theme that never updates.
• Because it is confusing to client.
• Because it is a little slow.
