# Customize Controls

 * Since last year I have been using this theme (free version) because I really 
   liked the layout and usability of the layout in terms of internal navigation 
   on the website.
 * Last year I made some customizations in the layout focusing on making it more
   attractive to my business.
 * However, I have struggled to understand the reasons why the theme customization
   control within the WordPress platform has magically disappeared. Then I disabled
   some plugins and nothing was resolved.
 * Besides, my website’s slider is constantly breaking down and I’m getting tired
   of this awkward situation.
 * I would also like to inform you that I cannot update the theme to the latest 
   version as I will lose all customizations made on the site.
 * Do you understand my situation? I really need your help, please!
 * I will be deeply grateful for your generosity in helping me to resolve this issue.
 * Thank you,
    Daniel

 * Hello [@iamdaniells](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamdaniells/),
 * Remove your extra customization code from the Advance Startup theme. Make its
   child theme & put the extra customization code here in the child theme. So, if
   you update your parent theme you will not affect the extra code of the child 
   theme.
 * Below is the website link, which helps you to make a child theme,

 * Thank You.
