Use A Child Theme To Preserve Your Modifications

I just upgraded the WordPress TwentyTen theme on my weblog. It was no big deal because I am using a child theme. If you modify your themes to make it perfect to your taste, you should use a child theme to preserve your tweaks. It’s easy. Just follow the simple instructions in the WordPress Codex / Child Themes.

The one modification that I had to address with an extra step involved my alternative footer (footer-alt). I got an error warning after the upgrade and had to add the footer-alt file to the new TwentyTen theme. This alternative footer can be seen on pages that use a sidebar. On these pages there are no widgets in the footer-alt. On pages with no sidebar I call the original footer file which has widgets loaded.

I’m a total amateur. But I love tweaking my theme.
