Hello,

Seem I need to create a child theme or something, because oftentimes when I update, my site winds up changed or messed up in some way. So what is the best way to go about creating a child theme for this theme? Please reply ASAP with details. Thank you.

Hello,

Can you please elaborate on what changes are you making and after making those changes what is affected?

If you wish to create a child theme, then you can follow these steps –

1. While parent theme is activated, install and activate this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/

2. Export all the customizer settings by going to Appearance->Customize -> Export / Import

3. Follow the steps on https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/#how-to-create-a-child-theme

4. After activating child theme, import the earlier exported file to get all the customizer settings back.

Regards,
Adwait Deshpande

Thanks Adwait, will follow your instructions. Basically, I was just noticing in the past that sometimes when I updated, either my logo would disappear from the header or header would change in some other slight way – or my footer would be changed or shifted in some slight way. Nothing big, but just annoying to keep readjusting, which is why I feel that just using a child theme should prevent these issues.

You can override any template(header.php, footer.php etc.) as per your design requirements. Please refer to the documentation here https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/#adding-template-files
