Hi, I have a question:
If we have a child theme created, to avoid that in the acutalizations of the theme are overwriting the customizations, it may be that in this case the theme save changes in the database of the engine that can be updated with an update of the theme itself.
Thank you
Hello,
Sorry but you will have to be more explicit. I assume you are trying to avoid losing your customization after updating. Unfortunately there is no update proof method to alter the theme files. A child theme is not update proof. If the file you have modified in your child theme gets updated and changed, you will be serving the old code from your child theme when the theme requires the new code to work. In this case you will have to copy over the new file and apply your customization again to your child theme.
Thank you!
Hello, I feel my English, I will try to be more concrete. I do not modify a file in the child theme. There is a main theme and some customizations that are copied to the child, what I want to know is if the theme has all my customizations of styles in the ftp within the theme, because I understand that being so having a child theme, in a main theme update will never miss the look and style. Or if, on the other hand, it saves some type of customization within the main database and can be affected in some update.
Thank you
Hi,
When you update the theme the usual way, you will lose any modifications made directly to the theme files. You can use a child theme for modifications, and when an update is available check what was changed and which files are affected, so you can make the proper adjustments in the child theme code if needed. The files are served through the child theme if it is active, and the update will not replace nothing regarding the child theme. Also you can make backups to your website so you will have a solution if something does not have the desired result, or something goes wrong, or even export the theme settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
