Child theme

  • Create a child theme — The two files a Stoat child theme needs — and the one thing about the stylesheet that trips everybody up.
  • Override templates — Every template file Stoat ships, what each one draws, and how to replace one from a child theme.
  • Custom CSS — Where to put your CSS so an update cannot delete it, the custom properties worth knowing, and the class names to target.
  • Hooks and filters — Every extension point Stoat exposes, what each one is for, and a working example of each.
