I purchased this theme and would like to setup the child theme so I can edit and still update the theme to keep changes, but unsure how to do this. I have uploaded main and child theme but please can you assist in completely setting it up so I use and edit the child theme and can still update main theme without losing changes? I checked you instructions but it misses out the part on actually using the child theme.
I tried to follow Wordpress' instructions but as your child theme is a bit different and main theme uses multiple CSS files I'm unsure.
Please help so I can start using this beautiful theme for my business! :)
Hi. I know that. I've uploaded everything including the child theme and it's visible in Wordpress. But is that all you need to do? Don't you need to create and configure a php file in the child theme directory pointing to css stylesheets? Read that on the Wordpress website but yours has multiple css files so wondering how to use the child theme please can you provide instructions?
Ok please just confirm do I set the child theme as the active theme in Wordpress? And what is the exact location of the styles.css styelsheet that I am to update for the child theme?
And finally, in doing the above, if I update the theme when updates are available it will keep all my changes?? Do I update both the child and parent theme or how does that work?

Hi,
Please download full package and upload child theme "cloudme-child" in that folder.
Or you can download attach file.

Hi,
That's all what you need to do.
Now, you can add css code to file style.css in the child theme to customize your website.
Don't worry about multiple css files , it's not problem.

Hi,
After install and active child-theme, you can add css code to style.css file in folder "themes/cloudme-child/style.css"
If you use child theme, you can update theme and everything will not missing. Just update parent theme not child theme.
