Creating Customizr Child Theme? | WordPress.org

Hello,

I’m starting to get a lot more in depth when it comes to the detailing of my site and have hit the wall in needing a child theme. When I search how to create a child theme, the initial steps all seem to be creating directories within my files, but I have no files? I use WordPress through Godaddy and have no files saved on my computer regarding themes and contents. Is there a solution so I could work from a child theme and edit the functions?

Thank you,

Jenness

I use WordPress through Godaddy and have no files saved on my computer regarding themes and contents.

That’s everybody is doing. Everything hosted on the server. We can manage files and folder via FTP or cPanel, it’s like File Explorer in our personal computer but it’s working on server.

You can see the info here, specific to your hosting.

Be very careful when editing files live on the server. Never work on the site unless we have full site backup first.

It’s best to setup a local copy using XAMPP or WAMP so we can make changes, try different things and not worrying about the mistake. When happy with the result, update the site via FTP or cPanel.
