 * Hello!
 * I’ve been putting off updating my current theme for a while as i don’t have the
   foggiest clue how to do it via FTP. Is it possible to simply delete the current
   version and then replace it with the updated version?
 * I am using the MAYA theme and my web dev created a child theme for me. If i were
   to simply replace the theme, which one should i be deleting? The “parent” theme
   or the “child” theme?
 * Thanks so much in advance!
