Creating child themes

Support
#1

Everytime there is an update to the X-theme, I lose the changes that I made to the functions.php file. Is there a tutorial for creating a child theme so I won’t have to continue adding code every time the theme is updated?

Hello @eutaw,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

There is no need to create child theme. You can use following link to download child theme and also sharing tutorial that can be used to setup child theme.

(1) Because my website is already active, will the child theme installation be the same as it is when initially designing a website?

Hi,

Yes, the child theme is basically empty to start with and it will inherit all functionality and settings of your parent theme.
So your site will be the same as it was.

As always, please don’t forget to create full backup of your site before installing child theme

Thanks
