Watch as I create a Child Theme for WordPress development so that my changes are preserved if and when the Parent Theme is updated at a later date.

If you’d like to follow along install the Writee Theme on a testing server and review the code from the Child Theme in this video.

I created this child theme purely for educational and experimental purposes.
This simple child theme that does nothing. It’s an empty stylesheet, and has a functions.php file that imports the parent and a placeholder screenshot.png.
Feel free to download it, add your custom code. The Twenty Seventeen theme remains stock and will receive updates and pass those along to the child theme.

Other amusing things also happen. If you’ve got 40 minutes you can waste; curious how someone can mess up an Ubuntu + WordPress installation they’ve done at least a hundred times give it a watch.
