@fuddin the theme name is the name of the folder of the child theme; for example: parent theme settings are identified by the option_name 'theme_mods_parent-theme-name'; child theme settings could be identified by the option_name 'theme_mods_parent-theme-name-child'. You can perform a select on your database in order to view that clearly: SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE "theme_mods_%"

| Nov 24, 2017 at 3:26 | comment | added | Mark Kaplun | @Eoin the more questions I read about child themes, the less I like the limitations of it. It seems like for any non trivial change in the parent theme you will have to reevaluate the child theme code. If all you do is CSS, there is little problem, but for anything else reevaluation is needed. the OP here will need to make sure he syncs the options with the parent theme on each upgrade (in case a new option with non empty default value was added). I find myself advocating against using child themes, and instead use git to branch the "parent" and make merges when there are updates. | |
