    Hi,

    Is it possible to rename the parent directory without breaking the child theme derived from it?

    My divi theme doesnt receive theme updates because my theme directory is divi instead of Divi. I tried renaming it to Divi and the updates shows however the child theme broke. Is there a setting on child theme cnf to fix this?

    Thanks

    Manually edit the child theme style.css file by going to Appearance > Theme Editor and selecting the style.css file.

    Change the Template: line to Divi instead of divi and you should be good.

    Oh, and you should run the configurator again to reload the style data.
