Be Fruitful, Have Child Theme

Have you ever made changes to a theme that gets regular updates? Did you ever modify a theme and break it? Make changes and get the horrible “blank page”? The solution is making child themes. Here is how and why to do so.

This Talk Is For: Advanced Users

The Audience Will Learn: How to make a child theme. I have dealt with clients that modify themes and break the them, or get a theme 20 versions back and then want to update it. Most WP users don’t know how to make modifications correctly and safely, and after this talk it will show them how to make a child theme and target elements and make the CSS changes they want to make.
