Creating a child theme for Vantage Premium

By Ryan Ninete, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hi,
I am trying to create a child theme for Vantage Premium.

I created a new theme folder “vantage-child.” I then made copies of header.php, index.php, screenshot.png, style.css (Modified: Theme Name: Vantage Premium – Child), and style.less (Modified: Theme Name: Theme Name: Vantage – Child).

Now I see the theme listed in the backend of the site, but the Live Preview doesn’t work.

I don’t want to activate the Child Theme until I get the Live Preview to work.

I am running the Vantage Premium Theme version 2.1.5, and need to update to 2.3.3.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ryan

    Thanks Greg,
    I am just trying to create a child theme. Seems simple enough. I had done it with other themes and took the same steps but it isn't working.

    I will give that starter a shot!
