Hello,

Because there is no a Child Theme i tried to create one with this Plugin “Child Theme Configurator”.
In comments section in theme forest your collage told me that i do not need a child theme.
If i do not use the Child Theme and i use the Default i will have problem when i want update the Theme or i lose custom CSS?
Also if your theme need some changes in PHP how can i make without Child theme?
Thank you in advanced

Hello fkstories,

If you want to make some custom changes in the theme, notice that we recommend using the Child Theme, because if you will edit the actual core files of the theme with your changes, when you will update the theme, all the files will be overwritten and you will lose these changes. For more information about Child Theme, please consult the following useful guide from here -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/ and here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,

1. Indeed, changes made in a child theme to theme files will not be lost. So if you plan to make consistent modifications to the theme files, you should use a child theme. The guide mentions which files are supported by the child theme.

2. The guide also mentions where the child theme provided in the theme package is found

Best you use the provided child theme, it contains standard stylesheet and functions file.
Let us know if you have more questions, we will try to help you.

Thanks
