So how do you make that fancy new theme look a little bit more\u2026 you? You create a child theme.<\/p>\n<p>Child themes build on top of the original theme, letting you change as much\u2026 or as little\u2026 as you want, while keeping all of the snazzy theme options and functionality built in to the parent theme.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for a hands-on session where we will build a child theme from the ground up. We&#8217;ll also discuss how to find the perfect parent theme, changing styles, and customizing functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: You will get the most out of this workshop if you come ready to play with code. Bring your laptop (Mac or PC) with WordPress installed, preferably in a local environment, and your HTML editor of choice. It will also help if you&#8217;re familiar with HTML\/CSS and PHP, but we won&#8217;t make you write your own code if you aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level:<\/strong> Beginner developer, Intermediate developer<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prerequisites:<\/strong> A little CSS\/HTML and have WP installed either on a test site or locally so that we can build out the theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve bought a fancy new WordPress theme, but now your site looks like everyone else\u2019s.
