export as a child theme

BB Theme
1

Dear Team

Since the wp 4.2 themes can be changed from within the customizer. I’m asking how I could set up a site (with different pages and styles) with bb-theme and bb-plugin and then export/save/make a child theme out of it. Would this be possible?

Thanks
Dominic

Hey Dominic! Generally child themes are used when you want to modify a theme’s code files. If you’re just using the customizer to modify the theme’s style, you can use Justin’s customizer import/export plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/

You could use this along with the default WordPress import/exporter to export your pages. Do you think this solution would work? Let me know! :slight_smile:

Hey Robby

Thanks for your answer.I know the customizer-import-export plugin and it does “only” save the theme’s css style. I have the following in mind:

I would like to create different site layouts (css) with different content (bb-builder). I then would like to give my customers the possibility to switch style and(!) content in one place. Some kind like your prebuilt themes in the bb-theme where you can switch style very quickly through that dropdown menu but also connected with the corresponding content (as you can do it seperatly with the saved templates). Do you know what I mean?

Thanks for your answer
Dominic

To be more precise: I’m running a wedding page multisite installation (at http://baldverheiratet.com) where I prebuilt different designs. Right now my customer choose their design with the wpmu-plugin “New Blog Template”. But I’m looking for a way to handle all that template stuff only with bb-theme and plugin. Why? Customers are not able after the installation of their first choice to change a design quickly. Importing css with your customizer plugin and then choose from the prebuilt bb-plugin template site by site is not very user friendly…

Thanks again
Dominic

Hmm, okay. I see what you’re trying to do now. Unfortunately, I can’t think of any way to seamlessly do this without custom coding it. Sorry, I wish I had a better answer.
