Your child theme also needs to contain a file called style.css<\/em>, which will use the Template slug to point to the parent folder name. Here is the example CSS header, required by WordPress to be used at the top of the file:<\/p>\n
\/*\r\n Theme Name: Hydra Child\r\n Theme URI: https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\r\n Description: BoldGrid Hydra Child Theme\r\n Author: BoldGrid Support\r\n Author URI: https:\/\/www.boldgrid.com\r\n Template: boldgrid-hydra\r\n Text Domain: boldgrid-hydra-child\r\n Version: 1.0\r\n License: GNU General Public License v2 or later\r\n License URI: http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/licenses\/gpl-2.0.html\r\n Tags: \r\n*\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
We will be using an example child theme made for Hydra<\/a>, which can be found on our Support Center GitHub Account.<\/a><\/div>\n
You should already have the parent theme installed if you are attempting to modify it. The following step by step guide will explain the process to install an example child theme for BoldGrid<\/strong>, and activate it. If you are using another BoldGrid theme and wish to modify it, changing the $parent_style variable in functions.php<\/em>, and the Template: tag in style.css<\/em> to point to the appropriate parent theme folder name are the only changes that you would need.<\/p>\n
