Safely override a child theme template.

Plugin is to be used with Wordpress child themes only. The plugin checks to see if any theme template files are in the \'wp-content/cc-templates\' directory, and if there are, it will use that template instead of the child themes template.

Provides support to override index, single, archive, author, page, search, and 404.

Mainly developed for use with my own framework but can be used with any Wordpress child theme.

Installation

  1. Upload \"child-customizer\" to the \"/wp-content/plugins/\" directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" menu in WordPress.
