Setup

Setting up a child theme in WordPress ensures that you can make customizations without losing them when the parent theme updates. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Create a Child Theme Folder

1. Connect to your WordPress site via FTP or File Manager in your hosting control panel.
2. Navigate to wp-content/themes/.
3. Create a new folder and name it something like nx-theme-child.

Create a style.css File

1. Inside the child theme folder, create a new file called style.css.
2. Add the following code:

   /*
    Theme Name:   NX Theme Child
    Theme URI:    https://www.nxcode.gr/nxtheme/demo/
    Description:  NX Theme Child Theme
    Author: NXCODE
    Author URI: https://www.nxcode.gr
    Template:     nx-theme
    Version:      1.0.0
   */
   

Create a functions.php File

In the same child theme folder, create a functions.php file. In this file we recommend requiring all files structured for better readablity instead of just adding all code in one place.

require_once 'inc/admin/utility-functions-child.php';
require_once 'inc/admin/redirect-functions-child.php';
require_once 'inc/admin/admin-panel-functions-child.php';
require_once 'inc/front/functions_frontend.php';
require_once 'inc/front/functions_restapi.php';
require_once 'inc/front/functions_shortcodes.php';

Activate the Child Theme

1. Go to Appearance > Themes in the WordPress admin panel.
2. You should see your new NX Theme Child theme.
3. Click Activate.
