Another update of WordPress child theme creation.
This time, we are working with Twenty Fourteen theme, the default WordPress 3.8 .
Not different with other themes, the steps will be:
1. Go to WordPress Child Theme Codex page, copy and paste this text. You can also do it from here.
/* Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/ Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme Author: John Doe Author URI: http://example.com Template: twentyfourteen Version: 1.0.0 Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready Text Domain: twenty-fourteen-child */ @import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");
How To Remove Left Sidebar of Twenty Fourteen
2. Create a folder, inside wp-content, you can access with FTP client like FileZilla, or access your CPanel directly. I created a “MyTwentyFourteen” as the child theme folder.
3. Create MyTwentyFourteen folder, create a file, called, style.css file.
Paste the selected text you copied from step 1 above.
Modify a few things if you think it’s necessary, like Theme URI, your name, etc.
You already created your Twenty Fourteen child theme!
In the demo, I change sidebar color to another blue color, with this code:
#secondary{background-color:#4788F4;}
Just as a simple example.
Above is the site in the tutorial/video.

Sorry for late reply
Kimi.
Hey ! I would like to use a child theme but I can’t choose it in the dashboard.
Can you help me ?
Thanks !
Hello,
Did you create a folder inside wp-content as your child theme folder? You need to create it first, before you can choose it in your dashboard.
Let me know if I can help you more.
Kindly Kim.
Nice simple tutorials. Keep up the good work Kimi!
Thank you Adam, I updated the tut here: http://youtu.be/pdHNNmDmmXc
Have a nice day. Kindly Kim.
Do you have a tutorial for removing dates in WP using a child theme? I’m having issues where Google is still picking up the data in WordPress and showing it in the meta descriptions.
No, unfortunately I don’t. However I checked your site, you use the 2015 theme, there is a support forum page: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentyfifteen
Good luck. Kimi.
