First, you need to install the Astra theme, you can download it from this link: https://wordpress.org/themes/astra/

Then you need to create the Astra Child theme folder at the location: yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes and name it “astra-child”. The next step is to create 2 files inside of that folder and upload 1 photo. Files need to be named “functions.php” and “style.php”. I won’t explain what each line of code means, just want to give you examples of code so you can use them as quickly as possible.

File – functions.php

<?php
/**

*
* @package Astra-child
* @since 1.0.0
*/

/**
* Define Constants
*/
define( ‘ASTRA_CHILD_THEME_VERSION’, ‘1.0.1’ );

/**
* Enqueue styles
*/
function child_enqueue_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( ‘astra-child-theme-css’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array(‘astra-theme-css’), ASTRA_CHILD_THEME_VERSION, ‘all’ );

}

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘child_enqueue_styles’, 15 );

The image needs to be named “screenshot.png” and the size should be 1200×900 px. You can download it from here and simply upload it to your astra-child folder.

After creating a folder, files, and uploading an image, you need to activate your child theme through your dashboard at Appearance/Themes.

Enjoy and happy coding!
