This child theme can be used to override styles and features of the Independent Publisher theme. For a complete list of functions you can override in this child theme, please see Functions you can override in a Child Theme.
This Child Theme requires the parent Independent Publisher theme, so be sure that you have that installed first. Then, simply download this child theme and place it your wp-content/themes/ folder and then activate it from Appearance → Themes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you downloaded the Independent Publisher theme from GitHub, the theme folder name might be independent-publisher-master. If that is the case, you must rename the theme directory to independent-publisher, as that is what the Child Theme looks for.
Once this Child Theme has been activated, you can start making changes to the child theme's style.css file and/or functions.php. The changes you make in those files will simply override the parent theme's styles and functions.
See the comments in style.css and functions.php for examples.
