Dear people,
I had bought the theme 1 week ago and put it online some days ago ( http://www.storypickers.com )
I installed the theme excatly as it is in the demo (with their content inside) and made some modification
like menus, category, new pages, add new posts and these stuff.
Now, i have decided to install the child theme (who already it is in the theme folder) butt i have done to much modification to the currect theme and made like 20 new posts.
– I’m wondering if i install the child theme will my customizations and posts dissapear?
– Will my sitemap, meta tag and all the seo i had done delete it?
Please, answear these two questions and please give me the instructions how to install the child theme?
Hi
By installing the child theme as it is in /code folder the parent theme functionality won’t be affected because all theme’s files are in main theme. The child theme become useful if you want to customize a post template for example, you will move the required files and the changes won’t be affected by futures updates. In fact this is the point of a child theme, to keep the customization even if the main theme it’s updated. But this is not always valid, because once in a while the child theme it’s also updated, or if the main theme pass through a major update it’s possible that some customizations not work well anymore. There is no reason to install the child theme unless if you decide to customize the parent theme. Note that customizing a theme involve good coding skills otherwise its functionality will be damaged rather than improved.
You can check in documentation which file can be edited with child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this help.
Thanks for the message!
