Hi All,
Sorry if I asked an eye rolling questions.
Please help to explain what is the use of child theme and how important it is in the progress of building the wordpress.
I searched google and it seems very technical.
Really appreciate any help.
Hello,
It actually is very technical. A child theme is used to customize the theme code. Adding custom code to re-write theme code. A child theme is only useful if you plan on altering the theme code. If you don’t plan on doing so, then you can ignore it. A child theme is used to skip a few updates and not have to re-apply your code every time you update but even a child theme is not update proof. If you change a file and re-write it from the child theme and that particular file is changed in an update you plan on making, you still need to re-apply your modification and re-add the file to the child theme. So in my personal opinion, a child theme is pretty useless. But this is only my opinion, not an official statement 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you very much Bogdan!
