    I am using the theme “raindrops” is there something I need to do in case updates are done to the theme in the future? Will an update reset it all back to before I started with the theme? I have read up on using a child theme plug in but I’m not sure I understand exactly what I should do. Any help is much appreciated! I ave installed the Child Theme Configurator just not sure how to set the settings. Thanks A Million in advance.

    Hello cscan,

    Child themes or customization/code snippet plugins are invaluable if you plan on customizing the look or functionality of your website through code (such as changing colors and font sizes with CSS or tweaking how your website works with PHP code snippets).

    If you were to make these changes in any of your theme’s files, they would be erased following the next update.

    If you don’t plan on doing any of that, then you don’t necessarily need to use a child theme or customization plugin.

    Should you at some point want to add a bit of custom CSS/PHP/JavaScript to modify your site, then you can check out the following plugins, which will allow you to add your code outside of your theme’s files:

    Hope that helps!
