I was looking for a plugin that kept all the settings from my parent theme. This wasn’t it. I got the same result by adding a child theme via my file manager, so this plugin doesn’t really do much for me.
Love this plugin. Super effective.
Quick an easy way to create a child theme. UI is simple and no frills. I attempted to copy a child theme without filling in the description and the plugin threw a warning message. Then I had to start all over having to filling all the boxes again. This part needs to improve. User should not be able to go pass creating the child theme if they are required to fill out certain boxes to avoid having to start all over again.
My go-to to spin up a quick child theme
Saves me so much time. Love you guys.
