You’ll also learn that all of this is incredibly easy and within your grasp and that it might just change how you think about WordPress and Theme development. Child Theme File Structure WordPress Child Themes are located in /wp-content/themes/ like any other WordPress Theme. They’re activated from the WordPress admin like any other theme. Except they don’t need theme files.

Exploring WordPress Frameworks and Child Themes. If you’ve been keeping up with Ian Stewart’s ThemeShaper blog this summer (if you haven’t, you should be looking deep within yourself to ask why not), you’ve seen loads of documentation for his WordPress framework, Thematic and the various child themes which inherit their power from Thematic’s mothership functionality.

Anyone who builds a quantity of WordPress sites throughout the year would be crazy to not already have their own baseline theme, much like anyone who re-uses the same dozen structural classes would be crazy not to deploy their own CSS framework for each project.

If you are planning on designing your own Theme for your own use, then this also doesn’t pertain to you. However, if you are using a WordPress Theme that you want to customize and not lose the customization features when the Theme upgrades, then this is information you need to know.
