To translate the theme, you may use a popular translation software Poedit. It is a free software available in Mac, Windows and Linux. You can download and install it then follow below to translate your theme.

1. Creating a new catalog:

Start Poedit and go to File > Create new catalog...

In the Project Info tab, set the project name and version. Select your target language in the Language dropdown and ignore the other options.

Click on the Paths tab, then click the New Item icon. This will create a new entry in the list below. Enter double dots ".." like below.


Go to the Keywords tab, for each of the following strings, click on New Item and type the characters indicated:
__
_e
_x


Click OK and save it in the languages sub-folder in your theme folder. Name the file that match your language locale. For example, if you're translating into French, name it fr_FR (read this list for other codes).

2. Translating With Poedit:

Poedit will scan all strings available for translation. When it's done, you'll need to go through the list and enter the translation text in the lower box. After you finish translating the strings, click File > Save and Poedit will generate a .mo file (eg. fr_FR.mo) automatically when save. If you don't see the .mo file, go to Poedit > Preferences, under the "Editor" tab, check off "Automatically compile .mo file on save".

3. Upload the PO and MO File

Upload the generated .po and .mo files to the "theme/languages" folder on your WordPress site through FTP. One last step is to open the wp-config.php file in your WordPress directory. Look for the "WPLANG" setting and add the language code. For example: define('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');

To create your own CSS styles or override existing CSS styles, you can use one of the following methods:

1. Go to Theme Customizer, section "Styles", enter the CSS classes into the "Custom CSS" box.

2. If you have more CSS styles to define, it is better to use a stylesheet to do the editing. You can create a file custom.css in your theme folder then put your custom CSS classes to there. This particular stylesheet will be loaded after the primary stylesheet (style.css) automatically by the theme. Since custom.css does not come with the theme package, so future upgrades of the theme will not overwrite your custom.css stylesheet.

Child themes make customizing your theme easy. Many times, you want to edit the theme's php files but forgot what you edited and what needs to changed in the new theme. Child themes can help you solve this problem. A WordPress Child theme derive its functionality from the parent theme, and then override the styles and functionality you want to modify without directly changing the parent theme.

Creating a Child Theme:

1. Create the Child theme folder and name it as parenttheme-child, where 'parenttheme' is the AnyWP theme name.
2. Create the style.css file in the Child theme folder. Then put the following into the style.css

/*
Theme Name: parenttheme Child
Description: Child theme for the parenttheme theme
Author: Your name here
Template: parenttheme
*/
@import url("../parenttheme/style.css");
