I use all-in-one-wp-migration for this

thanks. i will try that later tonight after I finish with my own plugins. thanks again vladimir.

i still see 404’s . vlad – do you still have your hook callback workaround activated? i will give it a bit more time.

yes. i see the exact same thing. thanks, vladimir ))

i have written a plugin for learndash: learndash pause/resume lesson timer. here is an old video – a newer one will be made in a day or two

and incorporating the time a user has spent doing a quiz and writing/recalling it to/from user meta is rather simple.

keep in mind to do this:

The final step is to enqueue the parent and child theme stylesheets. Note that the previous method was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import: this is no longer best practice. The correct method of enqueuing the parent theme stylesheet is to add a wp_enqueue_scripts action and use wp_enqueue_style() … see

then if

body {
background: red;
}

does not work try this:

body {
background: red !important;
}

—–

it will work or i will eat my hat

after you get your child theme to work and u can tell that it works by doing something like this in it’s style.css file

body {
background: red;
}

then you need to copy the proper template file from the parent theme into the child theme folder and edit it:
such as header.php for header stuff
wordpress always looks at a child theme and will use what it finds there instead of what is in the parent theme.

The benefit of using a child theme over Simple Custom CSS is you can use your child theme on other sites while Simple Custom CSS puts styling changes in a table in your WordPress database, and thusly requires two extra steps most likely if you want to use your customizations on other sites you make or administer. So the rule of thumb is if you have a just a handful of style tweaks use the plugin but if you want to do heavey lifting and maybe use templates files from woocommerce or bbPress or whatever or customize the theme’s built in template pages a bit – use a child theme.

i would look here:

and be sure you add a Template line: pointing to the parent theme in the style.css that you copy into your child theme folder. without a Template line the child will have no parent and be an orphan and not work

as per: “The Template line corresponds to the directory name of the parent theme. The parent theme in our example is the Twenty Fifteen theme, so the Template will be twentyfifteen. You may be working with a different theme, so adjust accordingly.”
