IDEAS TO CONSIDER

Create a Child Theme for your Blog

We will be releasing an update that will allow you to customize your Blog Listing Template with drag-and-drop, plus choose from new layouts.

There will also be an update to the Blog Post Template to allow drag-and-drop.

By creating a child theme for your blog, you can take advantage of these updates and more.

You'll follow steps 1-3 to migrate to a child theme (on this page) to match the child theme for the blog with your cloned theme.

Create a Child Theme for your Landing Pages

We all know performance matters, and this couldn't be more true for landing pages. 

Both v26 and v28 are focused on performance, creating a child theme for your landing pages will allow you to take advantage of these updates.

You'll follow steps 1-3 (on this page) as a starting point and can add any additional customization you need to recreate your existing landing pages.

If you created a child theme for your blog, you can use the same one for your landing pages.

 

Steps to Migrate Cloned Theme to Child Theme

Bookmark this page to refer back to it as you complete the steps.

  1. Create a Child Theme making sure to use a unique name to easily differentiate it from the cloned theme
  2. Update your Theme Settings to match the settings for your cloned theme, removing support for jQuery and disabling the legacy code structure in the child theme
  3. Configure your Header and Footer to match the cloned theme
  4. Copy any custom templates from the cloned theme to the child theme needed for the Blog or Landing Pages
  5. Create new custom module(s) from the parent theme (clone to child) and recode your customizations (as needed)
  6. Check the CSS and JS folders for customizations, and add all of the changes to the corresponding child.css or child.js files (do this instead of cloning any of the CSS or JS files from the parent theme)
  7. Use Content Staging to create blank staged pages using the new Child Theme templates
  8. Verify and test your new pages before publishing
