WordPress child theme
-
Hi there,
I’m building a website on a testing URL using the Enlightenment theme on the newest version of WordPress, and halfway through building I learned about child themes, and decided it would probably be a good idea to create one.
I’ve built the entire site using online editing only (plug ins, a custom css plug ins etc) , and I haven’t messed with any of the back end theme files, apart from the config.php file during set up.
I was intending on creating a child theme via the Child Theme Configurator plug in (by Lilaea Media), but the only reason I’m a little hesitant to do this is that I’m worried it could overwrite my online css files. Would this be an issue or should I be able to go through without overwriting anything?
Thanks in advance!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy –
You will want to post at the WordPress.org support forums found here: https://wordpress.org/support/
There are 2 versions of WordPress. What happens here at WordPress.com is a bit different from the self hosted version. The differences are outlined in this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

megantinsley.co.uk is a wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, hosted by UK2.NET, not by wordpress.COM.
That site is not on our servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.
Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
