## Beskrivelse

The Child Theme Wizard lets you create a new child theme without the need for additional
tools, right from within the WordPress admin interface. Once activated you can find
it under Tools – Child Theme Wizard.

Specify a parent theme, customise options such as title and description and click
Create Child Theme. Upon success you will find your new theme under Appearance –
Themes.

You have the option to include GPL License Terms if you wish. The Wizard will automatically
create a thumbnail too.

To find out more about child themes and why they are useful, please read the [WordPress Developer Docs on Child Themes](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/).

I can recommend for sure. While WordPress shows this plugin as “untested with your
version of WordPress” it works perfectly. Simple and fast. Got my Child Themes set
up in just a few minutes in WordPress version 6.8.3 and no complications. I would
recommend the developer does an update for the compatibility statement so his plugin
gets the use and credit it deserves!

I don’t need anything fancy. I don’t need to have bells and whistles to give it 
5 stars. It just has to do what I need done, and I’m happy. FYI: I’m not a bot. 
I’m leaving this same review on every plugin I use daily and that makes my life 
easier. I guess I can’t say this exactly same thing multiple times.

Thank you.

One-klick child theme generator. It just works great!

I actually installed another plugin before this one. I wanted to check theme overrides
on a VPS (Dreamhost) install. This worked, the other plugin did not! It was simple
to use, although if a link to the page to generate could be placed on the plugin
listing page, that’d be fantastic. One other minor comment, is that I feel all themes
should be lower-case and it generated an uppercase folder… wp-content/themes/Twenty-
Twenty-Child Really every theme should have this built-in, it’s a great utility 
and saves a lot of boilerplate generation.
