Difference from Traditional Themes
Traditional themes required editing PHP files, but with block themes you can customize the entire site using just the intuitive visual editor. No programming knowledge needed.
Template Customization
Important Notice
PHP and WordPress knowledge is required. Theme updates will overwrite theme files. To maintain your customizations, it's standard practice to use a child theme.
Create a Directory
Create an empty directory named "blanky-child" in "wp-content" → "themes".
Create Files
Create index.php, style.css, and functions.php as new empty files.
Edit style.css
Add the following code at the top of style.css. This registers it as a child theme.
/**
* Theme Name: Blanky Child
* Template: blanky
* Text Domain: blanky-child
*/Edit functions.php
Add the following code at the top of functions.php.
<?php
function blanky_child_enqueue_scripts() {
$theme_parent_version = wp_get_theme()->parent()->get('Version');
$theme_version = wp_get_theme()->get('Version');
wp_enqueue_style('blanky-original-style',
get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array(), $theme_parent_version);
wp_enqueue_style('blanky-child-style',
get_stylesheet_uri(),
array('blanky-original-style'), $theme_version);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'blanky_child_enqueue_scripts');
?>Copy Template Files
Copy the template files you want to modify from the parent "blanky" theme (including the templates folder) into "blanky-child". Make your changes in the child theme files. Style and function changes should also be made in the child theme.
