Can I use Orbisius Child Theme Creator to create a child theme of a child theme?

[Jim Kennedy]

Currently I am using Twenty Thirteen Masonry, which is itself a child theme of Twenty Thirteen. There’s no Create Child Theme button next to Twenty Thirteen Masonry, only next to the original Twenty Thirteen, and the other ‘parent themes.

Am I out of luck?

Jim.

Hi Jim,

You can try it to see if something will break.

There is an article about how to create grand child theme but it requires some additional code

Thanks Slavi,

In the end that all seemed to much for my skill level. Instead I used the Child Theme Creator to clone the parent, then copy/pasted the original child theme into my ‘clone child theme’ and then made my edits to the new clone child, using your editor. So I’ve effectively decoupled my theme from the original one. All good.

Thanks,
Jim.

Perfect. The simpler you keep things the better you’ll be able to troubleshoot issues (if any) in the future.

Simpler the better is always the way to go!
