 * Thank you batharoy, that’s what I thought.
 * So what would you recommend for the best way to copy the edits I made over? I
   don’t have a list of what I changed and it was a lot. I’m new to WP but I’m guessing
   the most logical way would be to:
    1. Make a copy of the edited style.css and
   any .php pages I did right in the theme and save to computer to reference. 2.
   Do the update/lose those edits 3. Learn how to create/install a child’s theme(
   suggestions on best tutorials welcome) 4. Cross reference the updated css with
   my saved/edited version 5. Any code in the saved/edited version that is different
   from the updated themes .css I copy and paste into the child theme. That should
   ultimately override the code from the parent theme.
 * Am I understanding this correctly?
 * Will I also lose any edits I did just from the Appearance>Customize tab (ie background
   colors, uploaded logo, etc) when I update and then create a child theme?
 * Thank you so much for your help and patience.
