隐藏Wordpress父主题

Question

I am using the child theme and have renamed it to the new theme name. However, the parent theme is still viewable in the admin area with the original theme name. How do I hide the parent theme? Thanks.

Answer 1

As far as I know this cannot be done. The idea behind child themes is to be Update Safe.

This means, you can update the parent theme and all the child theme functionality goes unaffected. If you want to hide the parent theme, you are better off forking it.

Answer 2

As i seen on wp-admin/themes.php file that wordpress use function called wp_prepare_attachment_for_js to collect the available theme information and then display it on themes page.

The function wp_prepare_attachment_for_js located on wp-admin/theme.php may be line 409 and seems the function have filter wp_prepare_attachment_for_js , so i think this will be done with this filter by unset the selected theme (parent theme to hide) before displayed to the available themes.

try add filter like this to your functions.php

add_filter( 'wp_prepare_themes_for_js', 'test_hide_themes', 11, 1 );
function test_hide_themes($prepared_themes){

    // hide parent-theme theme
    unset($prepared_themes['your-parent-theme-slug']);

    return $prepared_themes;
}
