Theme development looks complicated but it doesn’t have to be. WordPress Child Themes give you the power to progressively enhance a theme and adapt it to suit your needs.

Twenty Seventeen Empty Child
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.

Remove Comments
A simple plugin I created to disable commenting on attachment pages, posts and standard pages.
Even if commenting is allowed on a post, page or set to be allowed within the site’s discussion settings it will disallow comments.
This is particularly useful if you want to disable comments globally and don’t want to bother with individual settings.
As always no warranty is provided or given, use at your own risk.
