## Wopisanje

Generate Child Theme allows you to create a child theme of any WordPress theme installed
on your blog. The WordPress child theme generator plugin, Generate Child Theme is
absolutely free and extremely easy to use as well. The plugin will help you create
child themes in just a few minutes. It allows you to quickly create child themes
from any theme that you have currently installed on your site. With Generate Child
Theme, you will not have to deal with coding, or any configuration while creating
a child theme. You will only have to fill up few fields—such as select parent theme,
child theme’s name, theme description, author, and version—to create the child theme
you desire. Therefore, create your own child theme effortlessly with the new child
theme WordPress plugin, Generate Child Theme, and that too, without stressing your
wallet.

If you’re at all uncertain about this plugin, fear not; it’s easy to use, and you
get the peace of mind that comes with having a – very necessary – child theme. Highly
recommended.

It’s simple and it works. If you have added some CSS in your theme customizer, be
sure to copy that across to the new child theme.

 [kashka23](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kashka23/) 14. februara 2023

Thought it would be an easy fix instead of manually creating a child theme, but 
it didn’t actually copy over the style sheet, so none of my featured images were
showing anymore. When I tried to fix that, my site broke. Maybe it’s good for people
who are more technical than I am, but then you probably wouldn’t need this plugin
to begin with.

Great Catch plugin – does what it says – highly recommend it (used it on two sites
and it was easy to use)
