You’ll lose your changes when the theme get’s updated. * Instead create and activate a child theme of Minimatica, copy `content.php` into that child theme directory and _then_ make that edit. * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * [somedudes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somedudes/) * (@somedudes) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855296) * Yeah, you should edit in your child theme.

And it worked! * Thank you to both of you! * BTW, I did run into trouble when on the page describing how to make a child theme they wrote: * > The only required lines (in the style sheet) are the Theme Name, and the Template. * This is not true. Also required (yet for sure to you this is perhaps simple) is the line: * `@import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");` * while changing “twentyfourteen” with the name of your parent theme. * How can we get this page revised? * Avrohom * Thread Starter [Avrohomd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avrohomd/) * (@avrohomd) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855382) * I joined: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Contributing](http://codex.wordpress.org/Codex:Contributing) to make this change into the Codex about Child themes. * Avrohom * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855383) * > This is not true.

You normally would add that `@import` line but it’s _still_ a child theme without it. * Thread Starter [Avrohomd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avrohomd/) * (@avrohomd) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855385) * But wouldn’t you be missing the **parent’s** style sheet without it? * Aren’t we just trying to modify the parent theme — **not** to make our own new theme? * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855386) * > But wouldn’t you be missing the parent’s style sheet without it? * Well, yes. 😉 But if you were intent on making wholesale CSS changes without messing with the PHP or HTML then that would be fine too. Still a child theme but lots more work for the designer. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855387) * That depends. There may be situations where the child theme’s creator doesn’t want any of the parent’s CSS. As Jan said, that doesn’t stop it being a child theme. * Thread Starter [Avrohomd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avrohomd/) * (@avrohomd) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855388) * So should the Child theme article mention that: usually this import line is necessary? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855389) * The codex child themes page does mention this. I’ve just checked it to ensure that it does. See [Child Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes). * Thread Starter [Avrohomd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avrohomd/) * (@avrohomd) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855390) * Yes, Esmi, I just today changed a few lines. It read before: * **The only required lines (in the style sheet) are the Theme Name, and the Template.** * It showed the import line in the code but didn’t say it was necessary or usually needed. Is my change a good change? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-minimatica-how-remove-author/#post-4855391) * > I just today changed a few lines * Which I then added to. 🙂 * There is no mandatory requirement to import the parent’s stylesheet into the child.
