What is a Divi Child Theme?
A Divi child theme is a separate set of theme files that inherits the functionality and design of the main Divi theme. It allows you to make custom changes—like editing CSS, functions, or templates—without touching the original Divi theme files. This keeps your custom work safe and isolated.
Why You Need a Divi Child Theme
Without a child theme, any changes you make to Divi’s core files will be overwritten during theme updates. A child theme protects your custom code—CSS tweaks, PHP functions, or template modifications—so your site stays stable and secure no matter how often Divi is updated.
Download Divi Child Theme
You can download a pre-made Divi child theme and install it just like any other theme in WordPress.
👉 Download Divi Child Theme (.zip)
After installing, activate it, and start adding your own styles or functions safely.
It’s the smart foundation for any custom Divi project.
How to install Divi Child theme
Go to Appearance > Themes > Add New, upload the child theme .zip, and activate it.
