Right. You could add custom CSS via the customizer, but modifying PHP is out. There are some things you could do that would normally go in a child’s functions.php that you could code as a plugin.

Seems like it works if I make a child of that theme that based on the other theme. I tried changing the footer to test it. So it seems you just have to have Theme 1 and Theme 2 installed and you make a child of Theme 2.
WP does not support grandchild theming, so if you have Theme installed and are using Theme-Child, you cannot do Theme-Child-Child.

I don’t understand how these two themes work together. The child one is not set up like a regular child theme. But it requires the other to be installed.
flat out… you cannot child theme a child theme. If this is not a “regular” child, whatever that is, you should ask its developers.

If anyone wants to look at this theme its here https://wordpress.org/themes/blockfold/ I contacted the developer. I have never seen a theme that required another theme but not set up as a traditional child theme.

If you install Blockfold theme it automatically downloads the Kadence theme. Can anyone tell how this is done? The child theme is not Kadence-child.
There’s no need for it to be called “Kadence Child”. Child themes can be named on their own.
