Child Theme

If you plan to extensively customize this theme we have provided a child theme which is bundled in the theme files. The child theme is essential for customized installs (and will not be overwritten on theme version upgrades) and will help you achieve any customization you may desire. Installing the child theme is quite easy and is basically the same operation as installing the Jobplanet Theme. This section will guide you through installing the Jobplanet child theme.

After downloading the Jobplanet package from Themeforest you will need to extract those file, install the main Jobplanet theme, and then find zip file with the name jobplanet-child.zip . This is the child theme file for Jobplanet.
