Hello, i am trying to use a childtheme of IDStore, but it is impossible, i read a comment in themeforest where someone says that your theme doesn’t support childthemes. Is it true? I need a childtheme but i can’t. I have done a lot of childthemes in WordPress! But with your theme it is impossible. Please can you help me?

Hello,

You should create child theme which is contain style.css with the following content:
```
/*
 Theme Name:   IDStore Child
 Theme URI:    https://www.8theme.com
 Description:  idstore Child Theme
 Author:       8theme
 Author URI:   https://www.8theme.com
 Template:     idstore
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  idstore-child
*/

@import url("../idstore/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
```
And you shouldn’t copy styles from the style.css parent theme.

Regards,
Jack Richardson

Hello,

We’re sorry but there is a peculiarity of idstore theme that all style changes should be made in custom.css of parent theme.

Hello,

IDStore supports child theme. Only styles should be changed in custom.css and other child theme features is working in ordinary way. Also custom.css doesn’t lose changes after theme upgrading.

Hello,

If you want to do some changes in php files just copy required php files in the child theme directory and edit them. More information about child theme you can read here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.

The style changes should be done in the custom.css of parent theme. Here is a video tutorial how to create custom.css: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qok2zRedRMY&feature=youtu.be. The tutorial is recorded for Legenda but actions are analogical for IDStore.

Hello, I did custom.css and all was fine, but i need replace a function (blog_breadcrumbs). I always, in my childthemes do this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/a70etx1ibg9b479/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202014-06-23%2019.31.34.png

But it doesn’t work…

Please, can you say me how i can modify this function? It isn’t work like a childtheme because in your parent functions.php only see:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmgv3iwfe3rwb2i/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202014-06-23%2019.32.32.png

If you need to edit the file /code/functions.php, then you need create the folder “code” in the child theme directory and copy functions.php into there. After that you may modify this file and the original one will be untouchable.

No, it isn’t work. I’ve just tried but it doesn’t work. You say i may copy the file functions.php, and i did it, but have i to copy it with all the functions? or maybe i have to copy it empty and i may create my own functions?

Thanks.

Hello,

We’re very sorry, but there is a bug in theme and subfolders in child theme directory may not work, you can make changes only in the parent theme.
This bug should be fixed in our future update.

Please take our apologies for the inconveniences.

Ok, But you say in your description what this theme support child themes. Are you going to correct this? When? And I don’t understand why you have been more than one week saying me that i have to do wrong things. I have lost my time… I don’t understand…

Hello,

In our theme breadcrumbs is not a shortcode. That’s why to change it you should declare a new function in your functions.php which will create breadcrumbs in your desired format and then replace old breadcrumbs functions calls in your php files by the new one.
For the reference you can check the lines number 845 in code/functions.php.

Our child theme supports all subfolders except idstore/code. Also please read this information: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Referencing_.2F_Including_Files_in_Your_Child_Theme.

Sorry for any inconveniences!

Jack Richardson

Sorry, but you are deceiving customers if you put your theme supports children issues. When you work with children issues, it is usual to modify functions.php

I will do it in a different way, but I’m not happy with your theme.

Thanks…

Hello,

There is no deceit in our statement! The theme supports child theme and if correct code is used there is no problem. It is an inconvenience that the features of our theme are not pluggable, but it’s not a bug, because it is not a compulsory condition!
The only issue is that all additional CSS styles for the theme must be written in custom.css file.

Thank you for understanding.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

No, it isn’t the only issue. I can’t use functions.php in my child theme like all child themes in wordpress. Sorry, but I disagree and I think there cheating, you should inform before buying this, because your client can not change your theme functions son and this is something very normal.

Please refer to WP documentation you were provided earlier how to include files in child theme. If you use the correct code changes should take effect. There is only an exception you have to make style changes in custom.css, not in style.css of child theme.

Please take our apologies.
