Generate Greyd WP Child ThemeFrequently asked questions
What is a Greyd WP child theme? +
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Greyd WP (its parent). You make your customizations in the child so they survive updates to the parent theme.
Do I need to know code to use this generator? +
No. The generator creates a complete, valid Greyd WP child theme with style.css, functions.php, screenshot.png, and README.txt. You can customize via the form fields, and if you want to add custom CSS or PHP later you can edit the files directly.
Will the child theme break when Greyd WP updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Greyd WP can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.
Is this generator really free? +
Yes. There is no signup, no payment, and no limit on how many Greyd WP child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
