The Child Theme Wizard lets you create a new child theme without the need for additional tools, right from within the WordPress admin interface. Once activated you can find it under Tools – Child Theme Wizard.
Specify a parent theme, customise options such as title and description and click Create Child Theme. Upon success you will find your new theme under Appearance – Themes.
You have the option to include GPL License Terms if you wish. The Wizard will automatically create a thumbnail too. In future versions I may include an image uploader for this feature.

インストール
Either: Upload the entire folder child-theme-wizard to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Or: download the ZIP file, then head over to Plugins – Add New – Install, then browse to your file
Or: from Plugins – Add New, search for “child theme wizard”, to find this plugin and hit “install”
Then: Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
I can recommend for sure. While WordPress shows this plugin as “untested with your version of WordPress” it works perfectly. Simple and fast. Got my Child Themes set up in just a few minutes in WordPress version 6.8.3 and no complications. I would recommend the developer does an update for the compatibility statement so his plugin gets the use and credit it deserves!
I don’t need anything fancy. I don’t need to have bells and whistles to give it 5 stars. It just has to do what I need done, and I’m happy.
FYI: I’m not a bot. I’m leaving this same review on every plugin I use daily and that makes my life easier. I guess I can’t say this exactly same thing multiple times.
Two websites with wordpress 6.3 and no problems at all.. Very impressive this child theme is truly a wizard… it is responsive, all my menus were in place links, pictures, sliders and videos..
Thank you
I actually installed another plugin before this one. I wanted to check theme overrides on a VPS (Dreamhost) install. This worked, the other plugin did not!
It was simple to use, although if a link to the page to generate could be placed on the plugin listing page, that’d be fantastic.
One other minor comment, is that I feel all themes should be lower-case and it generated an uppercase folder… wp-content/themes/Twenty-Twenty-Child
Really every theme should have this built-in, it’s a great utility and saves a lot of boilerplate generation.
