Rename the theme folder

Hi.

What everything I need to change if I want to rename the theme folder? I would like to rename as my shop name.

Thanks for answer!

Hello,

Thank you so much for contacting our support center.

You can simply rename the theme folder and then reactivate a new theme via Dashboard -> Appearance -> Themes.

Kind Regards

Just this? Usually you need make also some changes in style.css (domain text and name) and maybe also in some other files…

What about if I would like to have also child theme? Do I need to rename folder just in “myname-child”?

No extra steps required, just rename the folder. The same for the child theme.

I renamed the child theme also, but in theme settings I got error:

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.

Name Description
Woodmart Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “woodmart” parent theme.

You may need to edit the child theme’s style.css file and change the parent theme name there. It should fix this issue.

OK, but what kind of name should be? I haven’t change anything… only as you wrote I have rename the theme folder.

So in style.css the parent theme name is Woodmart and in child folder is Woodmart Child.
In attachment is print screen of both style.css.

You need to change the template folder name to your new parent theme folder name https://gyazo.com/e234ba7830d4fe421ca4e77686714772

I have allready try this and if I change this the error is gone. But after that when if I activate child theme the page not work :/

HTTP ERROR 500

500 Internal Error says about some issue on the server and can be caused by different things. Anyway, to understand its nature you need to see your server error logs or enable PHP error display on the website and wp debug mode in the wp-config.php file. If you can’t do this, you need to contact your hosting provider for help in this question.
