Your child theme is on its way
We’ve emailed the zipped child theme to the address you entered. It usually lands within a minute.
Nothing in your inbox? Give it two minutes, then check your spam and promotions tabs. The email comes from divicake.com.
Install it in three steps
Takes about a minute. Divi stays exactly where it is: the child theme sits on top of it.
Download the ZIP
Open the email and save the attached .zip file. Leave it zipped: WordPress wants it that way.
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme and pick the file.
Activate and go
Hit Activate. Divi stays installed as the parent theme, so your site keeps every layout and setting.

You’ve got the files. Want us to do the rest?
Nobody generates a child theme for fun. There’s usually a real project behind it: a site to build, a feature that doesn’t exist yet, or customizations that keep breaking on update. That’s the part we do, for a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
