The Thesis framework uses a unique system to customize while inheriting the parent theme’s functions and styles, different from the typical WordPress method of child/parent themes. You don’t actually build a separate theme folder with Thesis – you edit the files within
/wp-content/themes/thesis/custom/
(or if it doesn’t exist yet, change the name of the “custom-sample” folder to “custom” and then edit the contents).There are two basic files to start with –
custom_functions.php
andcustom.css
. Place any code you would normally place in thefunctions.php
file of a child theme intocustom_functions.php
, and place any CSS you would normally place in thestyle.css
of a child theme intocustom.css
.Thesis reads these two files and automatically injects them like a child theme when rendering. There’s an images folder inside of
/custom
you can use for your graphics, too.The great thing about this system of customizing Thesis is that it’s completely self-contained – you can copy your
/custom
folder to any other site running thesis, and your customizations also won’t be overwritten by updates to the Thesis theme itself.Shalu, I have not created any child themes, but as somatic said, the best and easiest way with Thesis is to make your edits to the custom.css and custom_functions.php files. These files become portable and can be used in any Thesis design.
If you really want to create a Thesis child theme, here’s an article from Kristarella that I bookmarked which guides you through the the steps. http://www.kristarella.com/2010/10/wordpress-child-themes-and-thesis/
Hope this helps.
I’m sure Thesis/DIY Themes offers tutorials for that. Have you bought or just downloaded the theme “somewhere”?
