 * Hi, I’ve installed the child theme…
    And I’m trying to get the theme url to reference
   a custom folder with images wit $urltheme = get_template_directory_uri(); But
   I get the parent theme url instead of the current child… What can I do to get
   the right path? Thanks

 * `get_template_directory_uri()` will always return the URI of the current parent
   theme.
 * To get the child theme URI instead, you need to use `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`.
 * You can find these in the documentation, along with a list of other useful functions
   for getting various theme directory locations
