<div dir="ltr">I was able to implement a child theme, but it doesn't go as smoothly with Evolve as it does with most themes. The theme CSS includes:<div><br></div><div><div>/*</div><div> Theme Name: Evolve Child</div>
<div> Theme URI: <a href="http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/">http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/</a></div><div> Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme</div><div> Author: John Doe</div><div> Author URI: <a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a></div>
<div> Template: evolve-child</div><div> Version: 1.0.0</div><div> Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready</div><div> Text Domain: evolve-child</div><div>*/</div>
<div><br></div><div>@import url("../evolve/style.css");</div><div><br></div><div>/* =Theme customization starts here</div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------- */</div></div><div><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>After this, you'll need to copy the contents of wp-content/themes/evolve/library/media into evolve-child</div><div><br></div><div>This theme doesn't take well to having a child created for it, the above is a workaround. When you update evolve you'll simply have to copy the contents of wp-content/themes/evolve/library/media into evolve-child again to ensure any updates to CSS/JavaScript take properly. A better implementation would have been possible if Evolve hadn't used constants to define paths to its resources; the alternative would have been to allow child themes to define paths back to the main theme for JavaScript and CSS media libraries.</div>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">Regarding web development there are a few tasks at hand with the new site. Most of them are wordpress development, PHP, CSS, JS, HTML (in that order).</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">Currently we need a way to implement a child theme for the current theme ( <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/evolve" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#0057ae">https://wordpress.org/themes/evolve</span></a> ) so that we don't have updating issues. I consider this one the most pressing issue.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">After this, there would be the necessity to make the theme display the featured image only on the posts that actualy have a featured image.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">These are things that can be done without acess to the server. The some of the other tasks, I have started and nearly finished.</p>
