I didn’t realize I needed to make a child theme till now (rookie mistake, I know), but I’ve already mostly finished the site. How do I backup what I’ve already done so I don’t lose all my changes when I’m trying to switch over to a child theme?
Hi @lauragracemarie,
Unless you made specific changes to your functions.php in the original theme. You should be fine to migrate to a child theme with no issues.
If you know specifically the changes you made to the original themes functions.php file. You should only have to add those few lines of code to the new function.php within the child theme and that would get you back to normal. After you add the child theme and updated it’s Functions.php file you should never have to worry about an update to the orginal theme again.
Backups should be a daily thing for anysite. if your hosting company does not offer any back up solutions. There are many 3rd party back up options. Updraft is one to look at. Prosites has an excelent dashboard that offers backup and monitoring for your site as well as many other tools to help manage your site.
Hope that helps.
