Brilliant YES!!! Thank you for the novice folks out there! xoxoxo
Thank you, the tutorial was very helpful, but I have a question. I'm wondering if it would be more effective or safe to do all my work on the child them and then copy those changes to my main theme's style.css file to match the two theme? Rather than do all my work on the main theme then copy over to the child theme, because the main theme could be affected by updates as I work.
So then you start with the styles.css and as you customize your theme add those customized files into the child theme folder?
Awesome Video. I have a few questions.
1. Will creating a child theme have a noticeable effect on page loading times?
2.Now that WordPress has an edit CSS option in the appearance menu, (not sure if that's just something my theme supports or all new WP themes), Is using the edit CSS stylesheet the same thing as creating a child style sheet?
3. If I create a child theme, do I need to copy the entire original stylesheet. And if so, should I delete the CSS rules that I don't plan on overriding or altering to have less of a file size?
Thanks, Will. You presented clearly the difference between the Parent Theme and the Child Theme. I now understand & learn how to manipulate them.
Very clearly explained, thanks!
Excellent video! Lifesaver and great teacher. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video. I have a few questions please. 1-There's nothing in my style.css file ( there's a note stating that it is not being used- (Premium Press theme) 2-Also I created the Child theme from WordPress Admin, after saving it, next to template, I see [xxx] Is this normal?3- I've been reading that " @import url" should be avoided and that it's better to use " "<link rel =" should I change " @ import" to <link" when creating the child theme? Thanks!
you lost me when it came to saving the new style file. You have two files in that folder and I only created one.
Thanks for the video! I'm off to help my theme give birth now =)
Great Video!!!!
Thanks
Thank you so much! All of the other online tutorials on child themes were horrible.

Great thanks!
Best explantion thanks

If you get this error "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature", it's most likely because you're new like me. His video is a bit blurry when it comes to the Text Editor portion, so copying what you think you see will create this error. At least it did for me.
Here are the few things I had to correct:
1. Those are not DOUBLE quotations. Use single quotes: ('../themename/style.css');
2. There is a space between "url" and the first bracket: @import url ('../themename……
3. Make sure the copied code you put under the theme info starts with the */ I didn't make this mistake but I bet it happens.
Good luck!
Hi, this is definitely the best tutorial I have seen yet but does not manage to answer my issue regarding this process when using the mystile theme from woothemes (please do not direct me to upload wp's tutorial)…when following the @import method or enqueueing the parent via a functions.php file the header of the mystile theme top menu fails completely and thumbnails/pics go back to default specs and will not regenerate. If I past my style.css from the activated parent them to the child, my site displays correctly except for some errors around my cart icon… an unwanted pounds symbol outside of my AU$ sign and an open bracket next to checkout tab in header indicates to me visible residue of a second stylesheet showing from under child? I found an article here which makes reference to my issue but the advice is beyond my current rookie ability: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/167918/issues-enqueueing-parent-child-theme-stylesheets-with-revised-codex-method
