Description
The Child Theme Builder add-on exports the entire WordPress site as a child theme or importable starter template, bundling customizer settings, free plugins, pages, and taxonomies into a single distributable package. Built for agencies and developers delivering series-based projects on Kadence, the module generates the installation-ready file for other sites via integration with the AI-Starter Templates, with name, slug, author, description, and screenshot set directly in the panel.
