A Free Divi Child Theme

A Free Divi Child Theme

Yes, there are easy ways to make child themes, and some people argue that you don’t even need one.

However, even the naysayers (for the record, I’m in “always use a child theme” group) won’t deny that you need a child theme if you need to modify some theme files.

Also, if you’re going to add some functions, then it’s a must.

So, here’s a simple child theme…

no wait, a FREE DIVI CHILD THEME for you

that allows you to drop any divi section/row/module anywhere with a shortcode.

(See examples of how it can be used here)

1.1.02
– Checked with Divi 4.0.9 -> Works

1.1
– Holy moly, Divi 4 is out. New header, new footer and some stuff added
– I’ve added a jQuery file that adds mouse rollover

1.0.8
– Replaced the header and footer to update for Divi 3.22.4 (just in case I missed anything.
– Added the code where you get the layouts in a shortcode to functions.php

1.0.7
– Replaced the header to update for Divi 3.3.1 (It’s been a while since the header file has changed. Nice)

1.0.6
– added the main.css last in the cascade order (so better priority)

1.0.5
– added admin styles

 

Enjoy!

  1. I saw your post from Sept 3 on the divi blog. ” Oh yes. I’m finishing up one of my pet projects, and it uses LD and bbP. Man, did I need to style everything. When that’s done, I might share it. I hope at least… two people are interested. haha ”

    Have you finished the project will you be dropping a child theme to integrate the plugins ?

  2. 5

  3. The shortcodes are not showing in the library. The functions.php doesn’t contain the shortcode code you have showing in the video.

  4. I wasn’t able to get the Child Theme to work with Version: 4.0.5.

  5. seem the child theme breaks when trying to edit in theme builder when using the latest divi 4.0.8 @PK could you check it i guess you need to update the child seeing the log of divi there were lot of changes

  6. Hello. First of all thank you for your useful content!
    I wanted to ask you two questions. If I am already using a Divi Child, can I activate yours instead of the other? Second question: will your child Theme (in the case you no longer update him in a short time) will always remain compatible with Divi or could he be causing problems over time? I obviously speak of years time. Thanks a lot and keep it up!

  7. Hello PK,
    I use your Child Themes but I have a problem with the latest update. I have a 404 error in Chrome Dev Tools-Network
    The error is fonts.css. I have themes/AI-Child-Theme/css/fonts.css.

    I don’t find this file in my cPanel.

    I enable the old AI Child theme and the error it disappeared.

    Can you please tell me if it is a problem with the latest AI Child Theme?

    Thanks

  8. Hi! I get this error when trying to install the child theme:

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function elegant_description() in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-content/themes/Divi/header.php:6 Stack trace: #0 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-includes/template.php(730): require_once() #1 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-includes/template.php(676): load_template(‘/Applications/X…’, true, Array) #2 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-includes/general-template.php(48): locate_template(Array, true, true, Array) #3 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-content/themes/Divi/page.php(3): get_header() #4 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-includes/template-loader.php(106): include(‘/Applications/X…’) #5 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-blog-header.php(19): require_once(‘/Applications/X…’) #6 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/index.php(17): require(‘/Applications/X…’) #7 {main} thrown in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wp_fjallmaraton/wp-content/themes/Divi/header.php on line 6

    What am I doing wrong? I uploaded your header and functions file.

Hi, I'm PK, and I maintain and publish content on this site for two reasons.

  1. To give back to the community. I learned so much from people's tutorials and StackOverflow that I wanted to contribute and help others.

  2. To provide a more structured learning experience. People struggle to find the course that guides them from start to finish, based off of real life experience, and my courses provide that.

The only "ads" I have here are for my own courses, and maybe an affiliate link, but that's it. They fund the website resources and provide more motivation for me to produce better content.

Any bit of interest helps. Even sharing with your friends, suggesting my courses to your developer or designer, or subscribing to my YT channel, or joining our Discord. Thanks and I'll see you around!
