Child Theme Configurator

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 90% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   So simple to use and it was so helpful that I couldn’t manage my child theme modifications without it. Many thanks!

   Excelente plugin, funciona perfeitamente. Só uma sugestão: Poderia ter um ambiente simplificado para criar o tema filho. Porque devido a muitas funções que aparecem, pode acabar confundindo muita gente e acaba não sabendo utilizar. Tivesse apenas um botão de gerar o tema filho e uma opção avançada seria útil. Aqui tem funcionado só gerar logo o tema filho sem precisar mexer em nenhuma outra opção.

   This plugin is outdated since Divi version 4.25.0 . If you use it after that it will make use of code that is too old. The effect of that is that there is no way to add/edit any elements at all. In functions.php of the child theme, you have to add this code: <?php function my_theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' ); In style.css of the child theme, you have to remove this: @import url("../Divi/style.css"); This information came from the support team when they helped me solve my issues. You can find more info about this at: elegantthemes dot com slash blog slash divi-resources slash divi-child-theme(RIDICULOUS that they don’t allow to post links to explanations here. How else can I help?)

   Ooh yar! This plugin makes the best of the utterly weird and crazy WordPress “child” thing with themes. Life is now so much easier.
