 * Just create a folder with a style.css file. add this in the file:
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Virtue – Child
       Theme URI: http://themes.kadencethemes.com/virtue-premium/
       Description: Child theme for Virtue.

       Template: virtue
       Version: 1.0.0

 * Thanks for reply
 * I am little confused. I copied style.css file into new folder and opened it into
   code editor and found below mentioned code.
 * # Now question is that should I add code provided by you below this code or overwrite
   it?

   I would suggest looking at the resource section in the Codex page.

 * Hi sam01389,
 * To clarify, the style.css file you create in your child theme folder should be
   a new, empty style sheet. You then edit that stylesheet and add the code Kadence
   Themes provided.
 * Hope this helps!
