I've been keeping using this plugin for a long while by now. It saves me a lots of time. It doesn't add million extra features you don't need, doesn't make a mess in your database, no upsells (just optional donations) - but does the job simply and effectively. So use it and donate!

Super Easy! Maybe Too Easy!!!

I so wanted to give this 5 stars. For a beginner to WordPress this was great for me. It generated a child theme from my active theme and made it easy to activate. Then I poked around more and noticed that a couple of design areas did not carry over to the child theme. I'm still working on getting them back. They are in the parent theme still but not child. For a beginner this is a challenge for me. I think once bugs are worked out, this will be a 5-Star plugin.

Easy and simple
