Updating of theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

This is regarding the use of child themes.
1. Supposed if I have done some minor CSS edit in the child theme, can I still update both the parent theme AND the child theme? Or do I just update the parent theme only?

2. If I update both, will my custom CSS be affected?

3. And to clarify, for updating, I have to deactivate the previous theme, activate another random theme, delete this previous theme, then upload and install the latest theme, then activate? Same goes for child theme?

Thank you for your help.

Hello pawmeal,

1)You should update both themes. All the required files come bundled with the latest theme’s packet.
2)To be safe, you should make a full theme’s backup to avoid losing to data.
3)Yes, there are the steps which have to be followed for theme updating. Also, you should install the theme via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the message!
