    Hi,

    New to WordPress. I have made a website (www.jconi.be). The “problem” is that all that has been made so far is changed in the parent theme (Nirvana) I have red that when updating the parent theme changes will be lost. The solution is creating a child theme. So i did using http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. I habe made a new map + style.css. Now i am wondering what files because there are many in the main theme should i copy to the child theme map. Because if i activate the child theme almost nothing is the same anymore. So i want my website to look identical again when using the child theme so in the future changes to the man theme wont affect the chil theme.

    Kind regards
    Kevin

    WordPress considers a child theme to be a separate theme from the parent theme, so you’ll likely need to assign any custom menus and widgets the same way you did when you set up the parent theme. If your parent theme has a separate options panel or anything like that, you’ll likely need to re-do those options as well. Other than that, you won’t need to copy any files over from the parent theme unless you’d like to change them in your child theme. Besides the things I mentioned, is there anything else about your site that doesn’t look correct?
