How do you handle custom template files with Child Themes?

    Hi,

    I have been hosting a WordPress blog site for almost 3 years; but, at the time, I didn’t know about Child Themes. And, during those 3 years, I have customized several of my theme files.

    I recently decided to start over with a new WordPress install, import my posts etc., and do it properly this time.

    So far, I have found a sufficient amount of info to create my Child Theme, but, I still can not find any good info on how to handle the Theme file customizations (i.e. single.php, comments.php etc.)

    Could anyone help me with this?

    Thank you,
    Mark

    mercine,
    Thank you so much for the good advice!

    If you’re willing to go through all that, choose a theme, fork it and own it.

    If you look at my site:
    http://www.hyperblogcafe.com
    that is precisely what I have done for the last 3 years. But, sadly, my post feed took a dive; and, after many different tries, and much help from esmi, I have not been able to repair it.

    I have already created the new site:
    http://new.hyperblogcafe.com
    but, I wanted to get a good idea as to which way to go, before investing a lot of time and work.

    You have been very helpful.

    Thank you,
    Mark

    The “Theme Check” utility that mercine suggested, apparently uses the same sort of method.

    That plugin checks against a number of very specific code issues within themes. It does not carry out any type of comparison between files.

    I see.

    Thanks esmi.
