Child theme customization

  • Hi,
    I want to customize look & feel of the child theme. I am using twenty fourteen as parent theme.

    Is it possible to complete change the look & feel using child the.

    For example I want my content center aligned. I dont want that side bar left side.

    I tried to use .container class with margin: 0 auto to center the content but it doesn’t works .

    Few more question I would like to ask

    1. CSS properties in child theme stylesheet will override twentyfourteen’s styles?

    2. What is better to use Bootstrap 3.0 or twentyfourteen as parent theme?

    3. Can we enqueue and use Bootstrap 3.0 while using twentyfourteen as parent theme?

    Thanks in advance

  • Yes, you can change the Twenty Fourteen theme and any other theme to look however you would like it to. Doing so will require a large amount of HTML/CSS/PHP knowledge. It seems that you’re trying to change the overall layout of the site with getting rid of the left sidebar. Since you’ll need to reposition your header and navigation, you’ll have to create new template files in your child theme, not just edit CSS. To answer your other questions:

    1. Yes
    2. I’d suggest building a parent theme using Bootstrap. I’m not very familiar with the Twenty Fourteen theme, though.
    3. You can’t enqueue an entire framework. If you try to enqueue the Bootstrap stylesheets, you’ll run into a lot of problems. The Bootstrap stylesheets are for the Bootstrap templates, not Twenty Fourteen.
