1and1 managed wordpress themes

I’ve been trying to created a child theme for wordpress under a 1and1 basic managed wordpress installation.
Is that even possible? The standard themes have defaults I’d like to remove (like images and footers), which can’t be removed via the WP admin.

1and1 forums don’t seem to exist (login redirects me to the US admin panel for 1and1, which I can’t enter due to a UK account).

Could I switch the wordpress install to standard to avoid the issues? I’d rather avoid that, because I’d like to avoid the manual updates

Any experience of this, please help!

Just remove them through hosting file manager panel.

Hi,
No - that won’t work. The managed version seems to have disabled these.

I’ve managed to create a child theme via ssh, but it isn’t clear if I can actually access these via this account type.

Anyone used this hosting?

I have never used a managed WordPress hosting account, but surely you should be able to use FTP to load the child theme files, and edit your WordPress files. Have you tried FTP at all?
