 * If I were to create a child theme (need to add some additional files to better
   support some of the plugins we use), would I have to reconfigure the entire site
   settings when switching to that child theme?
 * Do you have a child theme available for downloading for the Faith theme?
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * I think that everything should work just fine, as long as you create your child
   theme correctly.
 * I don’t have any child themes available for downloading. There are plenty of 
   easy ways to create a child theme, from the manual process to free plugins that
   do it for you.
 * Best regards,

 * Good afternoon!
 * When I created the child theme and switched over to it, it appears that none 
   of the settings within that theme (header logo, header background, section backgrounds,
   etc) are carried through to the child theme.
 * Since I can’t attach files to this post, you can download the child theme I created
   at [https://thefan.net/sppp.zip](https://thefan.net/sppp.zip). Just let me know
   when you have this file, so I can remove it from my personal site.
 * There doesn’t be a way to automatically export the settings from the Faith theme
   to import them into a child theme. There are some themes that detect when a child
   theme is being used and will supply the data from the parent theme set up for
   the child theme.
 * Thanks for any advice you can provide. 🙂

 * Hi,
 * I did not get to download the .zip file.
    But I created a child page for the 
   theme on localhost and everything looks to be working just fine. All the settings
   are still there and working as expected.
