So the @import url(“../responsive/style.css”); points the Child theme to the default (main) file in the … Read more
You can place it in header.php between starting <head> and closing </head> tags and it should work properly. Or perhaps a better solution would be to enqueue the style in functions.php function google_fonts() { $query_args = array( ‘family’ => ‘Sigmar+One’ ); wp_register_style( ‘google_fonts’, add_query_arg( $query_args, “//fonts.googleapis.com/css” ), array(), null ); } add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘google_fonts’);
If you need to add the settings in parent theme created section, just place the below code in child functions.php But remember to replace OPT Name with your_opt_name in “OPT_NAME”.(To find OPT Name just open /parent-theme/includes/options/options-config.php and in top there’s a line $opt_name=”your_opt_name“; ) function add_product_description($sections){ $sections[10][‘fields’][] = array( ‘id’ => ‘product_extra_description’, ‘type’ => ‘multi_text’, … Read more
This is not a very smart thing to do. As you noted yourself, you’ll have issues when the parent theme is updated.

In other words: it will take very … Read more
but I currently have copied three files from the parent theme to my child theme and modified them there. I know this is not a good idea as once the parent theme is being updated I might be in trouble. Wrong. This is the whole point of why people should be using child themes. If … Read more
TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH will be deprecated in the near future. It is not safe to rely on these constants. Use get_template_directory() and get_stylesheet_directory() instead. And wait until the init hook (or after_setup_theme before you use them to be sure all needed files are loaded. Example for a plugin: add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘wpse_50359_set_plugin_basics’ ); function wpse_50359_set_plugin_basics() { … Read more

Genesis (and others like it) has always had a problem with a lack of consensus on how to cope with updates to its child themes. The simple conventional answer is that you should seldom or never update them, because it may be a very time-intensive process to avoid breaking things.

$wp_post_types is a global array that holds post_type objects, which in turn have a labels property. You can change $wp_post_types[$post_type]->labels after the parent theme has set the CPT. Add higher priority to init hook. Add the following code in your theme’s functions.php file. For more information, check out the codex article on get_post_type_object. function change_post_object_label() … Read more
