Before you modify the style.css of your child theme, you should first review how your child theme is going to use the basic WordPress Appearance panels: widgets, menus, theme options, header and background.
Do you know the answers to these questions:
- Is your theme going to allow admins to change colors using Theme Options? Yes or no.
- Is your theme going to support admins selecting a different font? Yes or no.
- Will your theme need to support admins uploading a new header file? Yes or no.
- Will your theme need to support admins uploading a new background file and setting the color? Yes or no.
- Will you need to change the mobile CSS? Yes or no.
Unless you are an advanced developer, you want to pretty much say “no” to all the above. This means that you are producing a single-use child theme for a site. If so this page is written for you. It assumes that your answers to the above questions is NO.
If you answer “yes”, please wait for the advanced CSS development for child themes coming soon. Or ask your question on the cohort group.
