    Hello,

    I’m using Divi theme with a Divi child theme created by your plugin.

    I’d like to place some code in my child theme functions.php file.
    I need instructions from you written for code dummies on where exactly to place the code.

    I did go through your resolved tickets and found where to place code into the file, but I’m still unsure of exactly where it goes. I’ve pasted the code that was automatically inserted into my functions.php file by Child Theme Configurator below. Could you please point to exactly where I should paste my new code? Thank you

    <?php
    // Exit if accessed directly
    if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) exit;

    // BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
    // AUTO GENERATED – Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:

    if ( !function_exists( ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent_css’ ) ):
    function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent’, trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . ‘style.css’ );
    }
    endif;
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent_css’ );

    // END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

    1. First, deactivate your child theme by going to Appearance > Themes and activating a different theme. You do not want to make changes to an active theme or you may crash your site and get locked out of WordPress and that will be a big headache.
    2. Go to Appearance > Editor. Select your child theme from the menu at the top right and click “Select.” Click the link labeled “Theme Functions” from the list on the right.
    3. You can also go the “Files” tab in CTC and click the link to “functions.php.” This goes to the exact same place.
    4. After the page loads, paste your code DIRECTLY BEFORE the line with the comment, // BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION. Do not modify the CTC auto-generated code.
    5. Make sure single and double quotation marks were not converted to “curly” or “smart” quotes. they should be plain vertical.
    6. Click “Update File.”
    7. Go to Appearance > Themes and click “Live Preview” on the panel for your child theme. If everything loads correctly, you are good to go and can re-activate the child theme.

    Hi lilaemedia,

    Jason of your team got in touch with me before I received your reply and all is fixed. I can’t thank you both enough for the detailed instructions. That seems very rare to come by for anything related to making webpages.
