I have experience with Wordpress & Woocommerce but this is the first time I have used Divi + Woocommerce and it's been a while since I worked with WP so I may be a little rusty. I am a full stack developer so any technical answers are fine.
I have created a child theme without any issues but when I try to copy the Woocommerce folder into the child theme to make changes to the .php file (e.g. /child-theme/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php) as I have done before (non-divi) it doesn't override.
I have added the child theme comment to the child theme styles.css as follows
/*
Theme Name: Theme Child
Version: 1.0
Description: Child theme for Main theme.
Author: Me
Template: theme
*/
I needed to remove the subdirectory "templates" from the child theme woocommerce folder.
From here you can download the free Divi Child Theme: https://divireadythemes.com/download-a-free-blank-divi-child-theme/
/*

The Page template selector disappear from the Page Attributes Option in the page/post editor. I'm using the last WordPress version(5.2.3) and Divi editor version(3.29.3). I cleaned up all the caches, but I'm not able to see that template selector. Any ideas?
After lot of time, I found the problem... I'm created a Child theme base on Divi, and for any reason the Page Attribute was not been displayed because the style.css file from my child theme was not including this line in the main header comment description:
/*
Theme Name: #####
Theme URI: http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/
Version: 3.29.3
Description: Child Theme from Divi created by ###
Author: Me
Author URI: http://www.###.com
Template: Divi
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/
I added the line, recompile the LESS, and the option inside the page/post editor appeared again fortunately.
I am trying to create a child theme so I can customize the parent theme but it is not working what-so-ever. I did everything I can think of:
created a folder for my child theme under wp-content/themes
created a style.css stylesheet and saved it in the child theme folder:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
Description: Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
Author: Ashley
Template: twentythirteen
Version: 1.0.0
*/
and I went to Appearance > Themes in WordPress but no child theme showed up. I have tried it multiple times and don't know what to do.
Pretty good tutorial here:
https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/wordpress-child-theme-tutorial. I've taken a snippet from it for the style.css file, and substituted bits with your info:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
Description: Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
Author: Ashley
Template: twentythirteen
Version: 1.0.0
*/
#import url("../twentythirteen/style.css");
/* =Theme customization starts here
------------------------------------------------------- */
Be sure to link properly to the TwentyThirteen theme's style.css file (via #import); make sure you're using the right path. Then you can proceed as normal by visiting "Appearance > Themes".
here is a simple article
create child theme directory
create styles.css
create functions.php
I am using wordpress with multisite enabled. Now I took bootstrap _tk theme as parent and made a child theme named as _tk child theme. So basically I have defined the theme name in child theme like this
/*
Theme Name: _tk Child Theme
Theme URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: _tk Child Theme
Author: Example
Author URI: http://www.example.com/
Template: _tk
Version: 1.0.0
*/
#import url("../_tk-master/style.css");
But when I went to the wordpress dashboard theme section. I can't see the theme. Then I went to dashboard network section( as I have enabled multisite) there I can see under the section Broken Theme the _tk Child Theme is placed. I have tried both network enabled and disabled for the parent theme but I can't see the child theme working. So can someone kindly tell me what's the issue here? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks
I create a new style.css and use it in child theme. And I create a new folder in wp-content and name it as themename-child and upload the style.css that I created. Now, I go to wp dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes and I look the child theme that I create. And I found this error:
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Accesspress Lite The parent theme is missing. Please install the "AccesspressLite" parent theme.
Is there anything that I need to upload? Please help me. I'm new in WordPress. Thank you!
No, the problem here is that you must specify the parent template in commented area of your child style.css
Example from Wordpress Codex
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: twentyfourteen
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: twenty-fourteen-child
*/
#import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");
Line with
Template: twentyfourteen
is what your need. Your parent theme must be in corresponding folder, in this example, themes/twentyfourteen.
Also, in your parent template you must load style.css via get_stylesheet_uri() for child theme to work correctly.
Seems clear to me that you need to install the Parent Theme, which is required for child theme installation...
The parent theme is missing. Please install the "AccesspressLite" parent theme.
The whole purpose of the child theme is that it feeds it's adjustments into the parent theme, so you don't have to adjust parent theme settings.

You need to add code in style.css of child theme like as follows
/*
Theme Name: your child theme name
Theme URI: http://example.com/child-theme-url/
Description: your Child Theme desc
Author: your author name
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: enfold
Version: 1.0.0
*/
/* =Imports styles from the parent theme
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
#import url('../enfold/style.css');
Template : is the your parent theme folder name.
I hope this will help to resolve your problem.
You need to include Template: enfold in style.css of your child theme.
See this official wordpress docs link of Child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes & read especially this part:
....You can change each of these lines to suit your theme. The only
required lines are the Theme Name, and the Template. The Template is
the directory name of the parent theme. In this case, the parent theme
is the TwentyThirteen theme, so the Template is twentythirteen, which
is the name of the directory where the TwentyThirteen theme resides....
