 * Does the Custom CSS page eliminate the need for a Child Theme?

 * Hi hungrylions
 * There are many reasons for creating a child theme.. they make it so your WP site
   is ammune to updates, they help speed up development. It is always a good idea
   to make all your updates on the child theme.
 * Thanks,

 * if you are going to use child theme then you can use child style.css instead.
 * the custom css purpose would be using parent theme(without template editing) 
   and edit or change a few css there and there.

 * I’d rather not use a child theme if the Custom CSS page will serve the same function.
