Q:

We’re using Hello Elementor with Elementor Pro. We want to add a custom function to our theme, so it was suggested we create a child theme. Is there any easy way to do that with our theme?

Issue

The client would like to know the easiest way of creating a WordPress child theme for their site’s HelloElementor theme.

Is there an easy way to create a child theme for Hello Elementor?

Yes, there is a super easy way to do this.

HelloElementor has made a default (blank) child theme available for free to use. So, all you need to do is head over to the Github repo for the child theme (managed by Elementor themselves) website and download the free child theme.

Upload the theme to your WordPress website. Activate the new HelloElementor Child theme. And, boom! You’re all set to add your custom function right in the new blank child theme.
