I’ve been reading about the process of updating the theme and the need for creating a child theme, but I have a question about the Theme Panel settings. If I go into the Newspaper Theme Panel and select a header type, make selections for the breadcrumbs, theme colors, fonts, etc. and then I update my theme when a new version comes out, do I lose all those settings every time I update? I’m not talking about going into the code and making manual edits — I’m just talking about using the dashboard Theme Panel to make custom settings. Second question, will I lose content I put in the Custom Code panel within the Theme Panel when I update the theme? Thanks
Hi,
No, you will not lose the theme panel settings. These are saved in the database, so even if the theme is updated this will not remove your settings. Custom code is also saved, ad codes etc. Basically everything from the theme panel.
There is also an export/import feature so the theme panel settings can be backed up

Thanks
Cool, thanks for the help.
