Forums Demo
TIP: WordPress and bbPress users do not need separate registration to your blog or forum. one registration is enough for both, but WordPress and bbPress have separate permissions settings to the same user.
For example, same user can be restricted from posting anything in WordPress blog but be allowed to post in bbPress forums in any capacity.
The Warcraft WordPress theme comes with its “Child Theme”
Why can’t we just edit the main theme?
Child Theme feature was implemented by WordPress so to avoid theme updates erasing the customizations that users had made to it.
It is a “mini” theme that can override the main base theme design. It has styles CSS and Functions files that can be edited. The changes will override the main theme design without actually editing the main theme.
Any page can be overriden by (copy paste) the file from the main theme into the child theme (mirror the location, if its in a folder, make same folder in Child theme and put the desired file in there)
Download both – main and child themes and then upload and install them to your WordPress installation.
Note here that you need to install both but activate ONLY Child Theme, not the main theme.
Simply open the style.css that resides in the child theme directory and edit away. You can’t harm or break the main theme. If something doesn’t work out, simply delete your added code in child-theme styles.css
