2.Create Child Theme
As soon as you buy or download a theme, HubSpot will prompt you to start editing the page templates of the CMS theme. However, before rushing into starting your newly designed pages, consider creating a child theme.
Why?
Setting up a child theme of the ACTIVISM HubSpot theme
- preserves the ability of the updates to be applied to the parent theme.
- Additionally, anyone including us, a third party, or you can change the code on your portal and extend your requirements and theme styles that are not currently adjustable on the parent theme.
- Even if you’re not going to edit the theme at all, creating a child theme ensures, you can receive regular updates from the HubSpot marketplace without hindering your customizations.
- Once the theme has been purchased, you can build up to 5 child themes with separate branding under the same account. In fact, Users of CMS Hub Enterprise can set up as many as 10 child themes.
2.1.Steps To Create a Child Theme
- Open your HubSpot account > navigate to marketing > choose files and templates > select design tools
- Find the @marketplace folder for the Glambiz theme > right-click on the Activism theme folder > select create child theme > name the child theme
If you want to change the child theme location, do so by clicking change in the File location section. Select a folder > click select.
