=== One-Click Child Theme === Contributors: tychay Donate link: http://www.kiva.org/lender/tychay Tags: theme, child theme, shared hosting, css, custom themeing Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.2.1 Stable tag: trunk Adds a Theme option to any active theme allowing you to make a child theme. == Description == [Plugin homepage](http://terrychay.com/wordpress-plugins/one-click-child-theme). Useful for shared hosts, this allows you to easily create child themes from any theme just by clicking. In the current version of WordPress, you shouldn’t modify CSS of any downloaded themes because if you update the theme, your changes will be destroyed. What you should instead do is create a child theme and edit the CSS there, this way updates to the parent theme will be inherited instead of destroy your changes. The problem is that currently the only way to child theme something is edit files on the filesystem. This is non-intuitive for shared-hosting sites with one-click WordPress installs (it usually involves a “shell account” or learning how to use FTP). This attempts to get around that issue, by adding a button to the themes page to allow you to child theme the page. (It’s not really one-click, though.) Inspired by @janeforshort‘s and @designsimply's WordCamp SF 2011 talk on CSS theming as requested by @sfgirl for [her blog](http://pintsizedmusings.com/). == Installation == ###Installing The Plugin### Extract all files from the ZIP file, making sure to keep the file structure intact, and then upload it to `/wp-content/plugins/`. Then just visit your admin area and activate the plugin. That's it! **See Also:** ["Installing Plugins" article on the WP Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins) ###Using the plugin### If you have teh capability to install themes in your admin, then the themes menu will have a new submenu called "Child Theme". Clicking on this gives you a form that will allow you to create a child theme based on the current active theme. == ChangeLog == ** Version 1.2 ** * Remembers to network enable (activate) the theme after creation. * Added screenshot support (Thanks! Chris Robinson ) * WP_Error handling * refactoring **Version 1.1** * Added RTL support **Version 1.0.1** * Commenting changes. **Version 1.0** * Initial release * 456789001234567890012345678900123456789001234567890012345678900123456789001234567890 == Future Features == * Better support for grandchildren (should copy the files over) * Add an "add file" button the the editor to allow you to edit any file. * "add file" should be able to include() file's from the parent. * Support for multiple theme directories * Error support is spotty at best * Use Theme_Upgrader/WP_Upgrader to figure out what files user may have trashed and ported them
