A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of the parent theme. Child themes are recommended because if you modify a theme directly and it is updated, then your modifications may be lost. By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are preserved.

Follow these steps to create and modify AcademyLMS child theme:

Step 1. Visit AcademyLMS Dashboard > Child Themes tab > Install and activate child theme

Step 2. Navigate to your themes directory /wp-content/themes/AcademyLMS-child

Step 3. Open the functions.php file and add any custom modification at the end of the file

You should always backup your files and databases before updating. At this stage, AcademyLMS supports update via FTP

Stay tuned at AcademyLMS page as we will push update on there. Check your account profile and Download, so that you can download updates from there.

After downloading the updated package, please:

Step 1. Login your FTP account via FTP software to access your host web server. Navigate to wp-content/themes folder to backup your current academylms folder if needed. The contents on your site will not be lost but if you have modified the code then the changes will be lost. You have to modify them again after updating or save a backup

Step 2. Extract academylms.zip that you downloaded from ThimPress

Step 3. Upload new theme folder academylms to wp-content/theme to override the existing files.

Check our Knowledge Base and FAQs below to find the answer for some common questions:

What if I already have Eduma theme ?

Eduma and AcademyLMS theme share the same LMS features and functionalities, thus you can switch between the two without affecting LMS data.

• If you already have your website using Eduma theme and want to change to AcademyLMS theme:
  First, deactivate all the plugins on your site. Then install and activate AcademyLMS theme above.
  Your site is now using AcademyLMS theme and current LearnPress data should be preserved, no more action needed.
• If you have two different sites using Eduma on one and AcademyLMS on another and you want to transfer LearnPress data from one to another:
  We provide a FREE plugin called Export/Import that helps to transfer LearnPress data including courses, lessons, and quizzes from one to another website. You can check the plugin usage here

Theme Installation Error?

1. “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet“: this occurs when you try to upload the full zip file that includes sample data, documentation, etc. Please make sure you are uploading only the installable theme which is called academylms.zip.

2. “Are you sure you want to do this?“: this can occur due to several reasons:

• PHP memory limit is too low (here is how to increase PHP memory limit).
• You are trying to upload the full zip file instead of just the installable theme
• The upload_max_filesize isn’t large enough. You need to update your php.ini file to increase the value

3. “#005_FILE_NOT_FOUND“: Since we no longer include demo data in the theme folder (for smaller theme package size), if you encounter this 005 error when importing demo data, please try the following solution:

• Visit Dashboard > Plugins and make sure Thim Core plugin is up-to-date
• Visit AcademyLMS > Plugins and find Thim AcademyLMS plugin. Try to install and activate this one again.

Can customization be saved?

When you make changes in Appearance > Customize setting but the changes cannot be saved, there are some common reasons:

• “500 Internal Server”: Read this blog to know how to fix it.
• Users of server (e.g Apache, Nginx) cannot write file: let chmod file style.css and config.less (in theme directory) be 777.
• Your PHP version is outdated: update PHP version 7.0 or higher.

Will customization be lost if I update the theme?

No, your customization in Appearance > Customize will not be lost when you update the theme. Only the code modifications in the original theme files will be lost and that’s why you should deploy in child-theme.
