WordPress themes cannot have "grandchildren". So, no, you cannot do that :) Instead, you can just copy it and use it as a basis for your own child theme.

  • Thanks @svelon, I was afraid it was the only answer :) Of course I've managed this option but expected to find "other way" to manage it. – Lebiak Khon Apr 27 '18 at 13:16
  • Just was trying the same thing with Orfeo... Taking svelons answer as basis I will try to cleverly overwrite: copy Orfeo and give it a new name - add a different stylesheet (e.g. style_grandchild.css) - link this new child-theme inside functions.php - extend functions.php as usual (though a second functions would be ideal). The main idea is to change Orfeo so that when updates are delivered, a integration of the new Orfeo code overwrites as little grandchild code as possible. Obviously the new child theme will not be updated, but separation is useful when merging – Canelo Digital Sep 28 '18 at 16:45
