Last day, one of our users asked that how to change WordPress theme name and add a custom name. In that scene, we are going to show you that how can you add a custom WordPress theme name for your theme.<\/p>\n

When Do You Need to Change the Theme Name?<\/h2>\n

If you have created a custom theme or child theme for your WordPress blog, you need to use a custom theme name. On the other hand, for keeping your theme name and details\u00a0are hidden from your website visitors, you can remove the original theme name and add a custom theme name.<\/p>\n

How To Change WordPress Theme Name<\/h2>\n

Let’s start. First of all, log in to your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"wordpress<\/p>\n

There, you can see your current WordPress theme name.<\/p>\n

\"genesis<\/p>\n

In my case, I am using the Magazine Pro<\/a> child theme on top of the Genesis Framework<\/a>. And the theme name is showing something like Magazine Pro Theme.<\/p>\n

Let’s change it to something else. You need to go to the theme editor which you can find under the appearance\u00a0section.<\/p>\n

\"wordpress<\/p>\n

Make sure that you are editing the style.css file of your website. In the theme name section, add your new theme name and update the file.<\/p>\n

\"change<\/p>\n

Check your blog’s dashboard. You can see your new theme name there.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

That’s all for it. From now on, you and your website visitors will see your new theme name on the website.<\/p>\n

Will It Break Website?<\/h2>\n

No, absolutely no. While editing the code, make sure that you are editing the style.css file. Also, make sure that you are adding the new theme name in the theme name section.<\/p>\n

Don’t try to edit any other codes like functions file or related.<\/p>\n
