Creating a child theme with Hueman is pretty easy. First activate the Hueman parent theme, then delete your existing child theme. Then: 1. In Theme Options click the Help tab in the upper righthand corner. 2. One of the options in the list is to download a sample child theme. This downloads the theme zip file to your local computer. 3. Install the new theme in your Admin panel by selecting Add New > Upload Theme > Choose File, then select the zip file you downloaded. 4. Activate the child theme. You’ll now have a pre-configured child theme with a style.css file and functions.php file to which you can add customizations. * Thread Starter [xSor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xsor/) * (@xsor) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067815) * Thanks, bdbrown!

Or specifically how to actually customise “eatchu.com” or make it become one with “eatchu.com/home”. * How do I advance with these? * Thanks * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067828) * It looks like you have Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays set to “Your latest posts” and the Home menu item points to a specific page? What is it you want to have displayed when (a) the site first opens, (b) the user clicks on your header logo image, and (c) the user clicks on the Home menu item? * Thread Starter [xSor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xsor/) * (@xsor) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067868) * I basically want them all to lead to eatchu.com (default). * But if that was the case, how do I go about with designing/changing the default page? * For example, eatchu.com/home has a different carousel, how would I be able to use that on the default as there is no page for me to play with? :S * Thanks, * [bdbrown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdbrown/) * (@bdbrown) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067873) * One way to do it: 1. Copy page.php from the parent theme to your child theme; rename it front-page.php 2. Create a new blank page, give it a title something like “My Blog”, no content, Publish. 3. Find the name of the page that is currently being displayed when you click the Home menu item. 4. In Settings > Reading, set Front page displays to “A static page” Front page: the name of the page you found in #2. Posts page: “My Blog” or whatever you named it. Save Changes 5. In your main menu: – Delete the existing Home menu item – Select the Custom Links menu option – URL is [http://eatchu.com/](http://eatchu.com/) – Link Text is Home – Add to Menu and reposition to top – Select the Pages menu option – Add the My Blog page to the menu – Change the Navigation Label as desired – Position in the menu as desired – Save Menu * The end result should be that your site opens to the Home page with the horizontal carousel, clicking Home on the menu goes to the same page, and clicking My Blog( or whatever label you set) opens the posts page. * Thread Starter [xSor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xsor/) * (@xsor) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067877) * Thanks bd, I jumped to step 4 and changed front page to Home 🙂 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Child theme’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/hueman/3.7.27/screenshot.png) * Hueman * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/reviews/) ## Tags * [child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/child-theme/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [xSor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xsor/) * Last activity: [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-155/#post-6067877) * Status: resolved
