Build your perfect website

A child theme is a feature supported by WordPress that lets you engage with your current themes on a stylesheet. Then, you can fully customize the new child theme without editing the parent WP theme. While using this plugin to edit child themes, changes will be saved on the new child theme and saved in theme directories. This plugin allows for customization that’s unachievable in WP Customizer. 

Child Theme Configurator allows the building of child themes for multiple sites, is compatible with responsive menus, and lets developers work through the admin menu. All changes made are easily viewed with the preview feature. The plugin’s analyzer will recognize any bugs between parent and child themes for easy troubleshooting.
