<div dir="ltr">Just to clarify, the issue I'm seeing with creating a child theme is that the JavaScript assets are not being resolved, ie. Twitter Bootstrap and Fontawesome. If you create a child theme and view the source of the WordPress page (CTRL-U to view source), trying to follow the URLs that require these assets results in failure. I've read that the complexity of Evolve make it difficult to create a child theme with, but mostly it's that the Evolve developers didn't consider how JavaScript assets would work when a child is created.<div>

</div><div><br></div><div>For me, without copying the files or creating symbolic links, the carousel doesn't work and some of the CSS for positioning isn't present. Evolve may just be too complex to become a child theme.</div>

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">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>
