 * Hi,
    I have PinBlack 1.4 installed and wanted to make a child theme before updating
   so as to keep some changes my client wants. I can’t seem to make it work, so 
   I thought I’d better check and see if PinBlack was child-friendly before I go
   any further. 🙂 If 1.5.1 is child-friendly I can update and go from there. Thanks!
   Jane

 * Hi Janeguild, this should be possible.
    Which changes specifically do you want
   implemented? If they’re just CSS changes, then you can use the Jetpack plugin’s
   Custom CSS functionality to hold your CSS.
 * Were there any errors thrown when the Child Theme hadn’t worked?
    Can you post
   here the contents of your Child Theme’s stylesheet? Can you stated in which directory
   your Child Theme is in?

 * Hello [@janeguild](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janeguild/),
 * Please update to version 1.5.1 as we’ve updated how the stylesheets are loaded
   in that version.

 * Hi there,
    I’ll upgrade to 1.5.1 and see if the child theme works. If I still
   have problems I’ll post the changes and what’s not working. Thanks for awesome
   responsiveness!
