Hi,

I have installed the GeoDirectory Plugin + the Directory Starter and Supreme Directory themes…

All good, but how do I create an actual child theme for the above? I only want to make some changes to the footer and so have followed normal procedures for creating a child theme, but it is not appearing in the admin Appearance > Themes at all?

Created a simple style.css that calls / imports the Supreme Directory CSS as normally works with all WordPress sites, but in this case nothing…

Hope you can help with this?

Much appreciated !

Hi,

Oh and I have applied this functions.php too, but still nothing showing up in admin:
```
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'parent_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function parent_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
?>
```
🙁

Supreme is the child theme for Directory Starter, so you cannot create another child theme.
We suggest this plugin to make code changes: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#snippets

Thanks

Hi,

Great thanks, but to ask your functions.php to use say a different footer.php template, how can this be achieved this way? With a normal child theme we can just add a footer.php and edit from there?

Hope you can help!

Thanks again

hi,

if you want to replace the template, add it to the child theme and keep a backup for updates.

Otherwise you filters that allow you to do the same without moving templates around.

Please see: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Hooks:_Actions_and_Filters

Thanks
