Hi! This is a great theme and I am very satisfied with its potential ,but i have one question.Is there a tutorial for properly creating a child theme based on it? Thank you
Hi Eduard,
You can create Child theme following WordPress Codex instruction
Thanks for the response,i managed to make it work but for some reason i cannot see the ‘Works’ section in the dashboard of the child theme and also the ones i have created in the original theme cannot be seen in the child theme.Is there some php code to call such a function or there is another solution ?
Hi Eduard,
Make sure you have created Child Theme correctly. You can submit a request to our support team to have a closer look at it.
Ok.Thank you!
How can I edit the footer to where it only displays “© Copyright 2016”? I don’t want any of this junk: “MY NAME • Designed by MotoPress • Proudly Powered by WordPress”.
Hi Ibrahim,
You should install Child theme and activate it. Then copy footer.php file from Parent theme to Child theme directory and edit it. You can remove or edit copyright text.
Okay. But what exactly do I edit out? I’m not a coder and have been pulling this off by the seat of my pants.
Really great good looking theme!
Hi Emily,
