# Create child theme without FTP?

 * I’m using the “Sparkling” theme on a WordPress site that I don’t have FTP access
   to. I have made a few changes to the theme, but would like to create a child 
   theme before I go any further.
 * I have tried both “Child Theme Configurator” and “One-Click Child Theme”, but
   the child theme doesn’t look quite right. The fonts are slightly different and
   the menu items/links have a grey background around them.
 * Could this be a theme specific issue? Is there a better plugin? I don’t care 
   about all the fancy features of “Child Theme Configurator”, I just don’t want
   to loose my changes whenever an update comes out.

 * Do I need to move this to the support section for the Sparkling theme, or the
   support section of one of the plugins?
 * Or if anyone could answer that would be great…
