Thread: Clipper ChildTehme

Clipper ChildTehme

Hi,
I'm looking theClipper theme for my next website.
To fit my needs, i'm wondering if it's possible to make a totally custom design with custom functionality without editing core files.
I don't want to edit core files because I need to stay able to make updates.

I think a child theme is a good solution but is Clipper compatible with that?
If it's possible, are their graphical limitations ? Is it possible to add custom functions or code parts?

Is their a tutorial or documentation about that?

thanks !

Hi
Yes, in fact, we strongly urge Customers to use child themes for the very same reasons you state above.
Documentation on our Action Hooks can be found here: http://docs.appthemes.com/action-hooks/

Hi,

I am a clipper user and I can guarantee you 100% that it is not compatible with wordpress child themes. dubya has not read the full forums and is posting information that is misleading just so you will buy clipper. Here are threads that have been going on since the development of Clipper requesting full functionality of Child Themes for Clipper:

Here's the solution:

Open clipper/includes/theme-functions.php Near line 63 you will find:
Change it to:
Then include the theme-footer.php file within your child theme's "includes" folder, and edit it to your heart's content.
You can do the same for any other file listed in that section of the theme-functions.php file. When ever there is an update, you'll just need to re edit one file. This should work for all the themes. Easy - breezy.
