How to create a child theme for LevelUp theme

Creating a child theme is the best way to start customizing any WordPress themes. There is one major reason for that you won’t loose any of your customizations when you’ll update the parent theme and If you edit directly the style.css or functions.php files of your theme, the update will just delete everything.

Follow these steps to create LevelUp Child Theme

Step 1: First you need to open wp-content/themes/ in your WordPress installation folder and create a new folder for your child theme. You can name this folder anything you want. For this tutorial, we will be naming it level-up-child.

Step 2: Open a text editor like Notepad and paste this code:

/*
 Theme Name:   Level Up Child
 Theme URI:    https://wplevelup.com/
 Description:  A LevelUP child theme 
 Author:       Ahmed Kaludi
 Author URI:  http://magazine3.company/
 Template:     level-up
 Version:      1.0.0
*/

@import url("../level-up/style.css");
 

Step 3: Now save this file as “style.css”  in the child theme folder, you just created. The last line in this code imports our parent theme’s stylesheet to the child theme.

Step 4: You can now go to WordPress Dashboard ->Appearance -> Themes where you will see LevelUp Child Theme. You need to click on the activate button to start using the child theme on your site.

With the help of this you can customize your WordPress theme and make it update proof.

That’s it for this tutorial!
