There’s also a Configurator Pro version available for $19.95 if you’re looking for more features. The plugin was built by Lilaea Media, who claim that it’s one of the most popular on WordPress.

The plugin does have 300,000 active installs, and is even translated into eight different languages.

Build your perfect website

A child theme is a feature supported by WordPress that lets you engage with your current themes on a stylesheet. Then, you can fully customize the new child theme without editing the parent WP theme. While using this plugin to edit child themes, changes will be saved on the new child theme and saved in theme directories. This plugin allows for customization that’s unachievable in WP Customizer. 

Child Theme Configurator allows the building of child themes for multiple sites, is compatible with responsive menus, and lets developers work through the admin menu. All changes made are easily viewed with the preview feature. The plugin’s analyzer will recognize any bugs between parent and child themes for easy troubleshooting.

Child Theme Configurator Pro

The pro version of Child Theme Configurator supports many valuable features. For example, it lets users use multiple child themes within the site. Users can also implement unsupported third-party themes. Additionally, CodeMirror is used to validate and autocomplete code. The pro version of this plugin includes a one-click Quick Preview feature. 

Among other premium features, the pro version also lets users import and export particular widgets, menus, and even settings onto sites.

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
