## Beschrijving

**Create child themes from any non-child theme directly from the Theme Customizer
panel.**

Works also when previewing a theme before activation!

Multisite compatible.

#### Plugin Features

FTP credential requests handled in the Customizer.
 **Child-theme’s screenshot generated**
from the parent screenshot, with a ribbon dynamically added. Child-theme’s author
dynamically generated from the user Name and Last Name, if set, otherwise falls 
back on a generic “Administrator”.

## Installatie

 1. Install the plugin right from your WordPress admin in plugins > Add New. 1-bis.
    Download the plugin, unzip the package and upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/
    directory
 2. Activeer de plugin
 3. Go to Appearance -> Customize and you’ll see the “Childify Me” button. 3-bis. In
    Appearance -> Themes, hover on a non-child theme and click on Live Preview, once
    there you’ll see the “Childify Me” button

## FAQ

### I’m in Appearance -> Customize but I cannot find the “Childify Me” button, why?

Is your theme a non-child theme? Childify Me is designed to make child themes only
for non-child themes.

### I created a child theme from Preview, but when I back to Appearance -> Themes I cannot see it, why?

Please, refresh the page.

### How can I create a child-theme in multisite?

Go to Appearance -> Customize (or to Appearance -> Themes, if you want to create
a child-theme of a
 non-active theme, hover on a non-child theme and click on Live
Preview)

### I created a child-theme but I lost my menu, how so?

This is because some options aren’t really part of the theme options.
 Basically
you can consider them as options related to theme. WordPress saves them in a different
db row of the wp-options table. From the Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

**Note:** You may need to re-save your menu (Appearance > Menus, or Appearance >
Customize > Menus) and theme options
 (including background and header images) after
activating the child theme.

### Why my child-theme’s screenshot doesn’t have the ribbon?

That feature is implemented using some functions of the PHP GD module.
 So you need
a PHP version >= 4.0 and the GD module installed and loaded.

### Why for some themes the child-theme style.css uses the @import directive ?

I used it over customizer, then it comes a note: childtheme directory is ok. But
if i will see it, then it give this message: "The theme directory "magazine-basic-
child" does not exist." in a white monitor. Two times I tried to use the plugin,
two times there was a bad result :-(((. I escaped it.
