Child Theme Config…
So simple to use and it was so helpful that I couldn’t manage my child theme modifications without it. Many thanks!
Excelente plugin, funciona perfeitamente. Só uma sugestão: Poderia ter um ambiente simplificado para criar o tema filho. Porque devido a muitas funções que aparecem, pode acabar confundindo muita gente e acaba não sabendo utilizar. Tivesse apenas um botão de gerar o tema filho e uma opção avançada seria útil. Aqui tem funcionado só gerar logo o tema filho sem precisar mexer em nenhuma outra opção.
This plugin is outdated since Divi version 4.25.0 . If you use it after that it will make use of code that is too old. The effect of that is that there is no way to add/edit any elements at all.
In functions.php of the child theme, you have to add this code:
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
In style.css of the child theme, you have to remove this:
@import url("../Divi/style.css");
This information came from the support team when they helped me solve my issues.

(RIDICULOUS that they don’t allow to post links to explanations here. How else can I help?)
Works as it should, faced no issue and problem, using it for months! thanks 🙂
Ooh yar! This plugin makes the best of the utterly weird and crazy WordPress “child” thing with themes. Life is now so much easier.
