Child theme of Goran

  • I would like to make some modifications to the Goran theme (which is a child of the Edin theme). However, a child of a child is not supported by WordPress. I’ve tried building a grand-child plugin, but that only gives the possbility of changing the style.css and standard template files. You can’t overwrite the header.php with a WP-function as far as I know. What is the right way to handle this?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @sandervh22,

    You’re right that grandchild themes aren’t officially supported and they’re considered bad practice by some.

    If you’re looking to make make significant changes, then I recommend activating Edin and then creating a completely separate, new child theme for it. You can then copy over files from Goran to the directory for your new child theme.

    The one downside to this approach is that you won’t receive future updates for Goran. However, you will still receive updates for Edin and will then have the greater flexibility to customise your child theme.

    If the changes you’re looking to make are quite small, then a custom CSS plugin may be a more straightforward route.

    Let me know if the above information is helpful or if you have any extra questions.
