This week I had an interesting challenge. To order all posts within a website alphabetically for a college course directory. Additionally, the News & Events category would need to remain organized by newest to oldest.
This is the home for my Twenty Seventeen Child Theme featured in my talk Dipping into Child Themes.
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.
