Byty the Free Child Theme – Built on Thematic

This is my first Free to Download Child Theme. It was built for a friend of mine and we decided to release it for free in hope of some extra publicity .

In order to install it you have to download the Thematic Theme (from which this child theme inherits all of the functionality), upload both themes (Byty and Thematic) to your server in the themes folder AND THEN ACTIVATE the Byty theme.

To make matters short here is a screen shot:

Over the next week I’ll post small tips and tutorials about how to customize this theme in order to remove/change the top ad, style plugins that are not normally supported, etc.

If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Byty has been updated to the latest version of Thematic (0.9) and will not work with older versions!

  Now that I’ve seen it I can tell you that I have never tested it with Buddymatic and that I don’t have any future plans for this.
  
  However, Child Themes get all the functionality from the parent theme, thus you need to edit the style.css file of Byty and change
  “Template: thematic”
  
  to
  
  “Template: buddymatic”
  
  This will get you started but from here on you’re on your own!
