Use admin options from parent theme in child theme

Using an index.php in your Child Theme is optional; but having one will overwrite your Parent’s index.php. Using a blank index.php will also show you a blank page.

You can copy the index.php from your Parent’s Theme to make it look like the Parent’s Theme, but there’s no need to do it. If there’s no index.php within your Child Theme the index.php of the Parent’s Theme will be loaded.

There is no difference if you’re activating a Child Theme or a ‘Normal’ Theme. Widgets for example are supposed to move to the ‘Inactive Widgets’ section, so you’ll probably have do do some detail configuration.

Perhaps there are hardcoded links within Plugins or Theme Options. Here are some links that’ll hopefully help you:
