Sorry if this sounds basic, but do I update the child theme if I updated the Newspaper parent theme? In my child theme I have only used CSS. My child theme is Version: 6.7.1.1461400149 while the parent theme is Version: 6.7.2.
If I do not need to update the theme, is it because it is a minor update or if say the update is from Version: 6.7.2 to Version: 6.8.0 or 7.0.0, will I have to update then?

Thank you.
Hello,
The child theme unfortunately is not update proof. if you only use css in the child theme, you are better off without it as you can add custom css in the theme panel-> custom css box. If you still want to use the child theme, Unfortunately the css will have to be added again on every update as style.css is modified every time an update is available. The child theme was meant to help in the update process to not update the customization every time a theme update is released but it has it;s downside You still have to update the files that were modified in the theme update. For example if you modify a php file, let’s say header.php, and use it in the child theme, you will have to watch out for this file in every update and when you see it got modified, you need to replace it in the child theme and re-make the modification.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
