After creating a child theme which is made of style.css
only (base on twentyeleven
), the time has come to replace the images.
I found this great tip for accomplishing this by hacking the functions in twentyeleven
but my main concern is minimizing work after a WordPress update.
I thought of simply replacing the images in /wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/headers
(while keeping the original names as came with twentyeleven
) but is this better?
It looks like either way I will have re-apply my customizations after updating WordPress in the future.
Is there a way to replace the 8 images, for a child theme, and still maintain the changes after an update?
I am never sure about ‘optimal approach’ – however, I am using this in the functions.php in a child theme of Twenty Eleven
the new images are in an /images folder in the child theme.
