Important NOTES

• You will not receive a copy of the theme from me; do not ask.
• I do not provide support for the parent theme, and/or customizations.
• I am not affiliated, nor do I contract for Artbees - the maker of the Jupiter Theme.

You will need to alter the parent theme folder's function.php

• Changes listed below

You will need to manually update any files you copy/alter to your child theme if theme gets an update

• Depending on the theme update, you may not have to change anything.

The 'parent' theme folder is only on here, to further illustrate that you will need to alter it a tiny bit.

The 'child' theme folder is not a complete customization; it provides a foundation for working is all.

To get this base-line child-theme working you will need to do a few things:

Download the 'jupiter-child' theme folder from this repo into your wordpress project.

• This can be done either by clicking the download button here on the repo
  • You will get the FULL zip file, you will then need either zip the child folder itself for uploading or ftp that folder
• You could go to the release tab, and download the zip that only contains the child theme folder
  • Use this option if you intend on installing the child-theme via the wordpress GUI

AFTER a success install/copy of the child-theme into your project, edit the parent themes function.php

• In YOUR parent theme, the following change(s) will need to be made:
  • You will need to add a check if the 'Theme' Class exists
  • You will need to ensure that you close the if statement properly

---

Parent Theme Changes:

• You will want to enclose the entire class Theme { ... } in if (! class_exists('Theme')) { ... } statement

YOUR parent theme functions.php will end up looking something like this:

<?php
$theme = new Theme(true);
$theme->init(array(
    "theme_name" => "Jupiter",
    "theme_slug" => "JP",
));

if (!isset($content_width)) {
    $content_width = 1140;
}
if (! class_exists('Theme')) {
class Theme
{

    public function __construct($check = false)
    {
        if ($check) {
            $this->theme_requirement_check();
        }
    }
    .
    .
    .

     } // theme_options
} // end Theme Class
 } // end if exists
 
// for wp security
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
