 * I’m using responsivepro (by cyberchimps) as the main theme, and they also have
   a child theme template.
    Just one question, the whole reason of developing a 
   child theme is to update the parent theme so we are more secure, however won’t
   the php files copied into the child theme cause the same security issues? I’ve
   now found out how to do the child theme properly – the wordpress child theme 
   help page only said the style.css and said nothing about the php files which 
   is where I ran into problems.
