This plugin (attempts to) create a twenty seventeen child theme so that customization to certain template parts (e.g., footer.php) can be done. However, there are several design issues with the approach being used – and for some users they will make the plugin unusable. This is unfortunate because the plugin functionality is otherwise very useful, and most of the code is well done.<\/p>\n
Here are the most significant issues:<\/p>\n
1) The plugin attempts to create a child theme using the base twenty seventeen theme, even if a child theme is already in use.
\n2) The plugin attempts the creation of the child theme in the \/plugins directory rather than in a server writeable directory (such as \/blogs.dir). Since the (plugin) child theme can’t be created the customized footer.php (or whatever) template part isn’t updated to reflect the custom copyright notice.
\n3) Making the \/plugins directory server writable is a security issue and so it isn’t an option for many users.
\n4) The plugin is not multisite aware.
\n5) You are limited to one customization of the twenty seventeen theme.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the developer will re-architect this otherwise promising plugin and make an updated version available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-9186763","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-architecture"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/9186763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/9186763\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9186763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
