Hi,

I have more Question for this issue,
I’m so afraid that I’m going to destroyed all my site…

I made the files Custom.css | Functions.php | style.css to ad to the child theme folder
Do I need to copy to this folder all PHP files?

Are there any other files I should copy?

Regard,
Orna

Hello,

Please read about the child theme
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
When you edit some files in the parent theme and don’t want to lose modifications after theme update you should copy the edited file to the same file structure in the child theme.
Also if you use child theme you need make style changes in style.css of the child theme, you should write only the code for the element you want to modify and don’t copy whole parent style.css.
Besides we always recommend to create backup before each update and modify theme files in the child theme.

Regards,
Rose Tyler.

Hello,

Your changes won’t be lost if you modify custom.css file only and not original style.css. If you’re using custom.css of the parent theme, that’s fine. Custom CSS file is used to overwrite original css styles. It’s not recommended to edit original style.css.
You can make changes either in custom.css file or in child style.css.
Only if you made changes in template files instead of child theme then these changes will be lost. That’s why we always recommend to use child theme for all the types of customization.

Regards,
Rose Tyler.

Hello,

1./2. I’ve enabled child theme and don’t see the issue you described. Please clear browser cache and check again.

Home Page:
1. When using child theme you need re-add your widgets in Appearance > Themes.

2. I’ve disabled demo footer in Theme Options > Footer. Please check now.

3. Add this code in child style.css:
```
.rtl .sidebar {
    float: left !important;
}
```
4. Remove this code in your custom.css file:
```
.top-bar .wishlist-link {
    margin-top: -4px;
}
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Hello,

1. You need add empty Text widget in Appearance > Widgets > Place in header top bar area.

2. The widget was missing in Appearance > Widgets > Newsletter area. I’ve re-added it. Please check the page now.

3. I’ve added this code in child functions.php file:
```
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 21 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 31 );
```
Now description is under the Add to Cart on single product pages.
Please check.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Hello,

Now I can’t access your WP admin panel because of this notice – “Blocked because of IPS attack”.
2. Go to Appearance > Widgets and add Mailchimp – Subsribe Form widget to your “Newsletter” area.

3. Add this code in functions.php file in your child theme:
```
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 20 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 21 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_excerpt', 31 );
```
Best regards,
Jack Richardson.
