Hard-coding a parent theme file may result in a loss of all the custom code as the files are overwritten with new version during a theme update.<\/p>\n<p>A child theme is designed to store the theme files without losing the modifications during the update process. It runs on a parent theme but when a copy of the parent theme file is added to the child theme directory, automatically WordPress gives priority to the files in the child theme folder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usage\u00a0example<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Ok! Let&#8217;s try to add a custom tag in the head section of the header.php file.<\/p>\n<p>If we hard-code the header.php file in the parent theme directory. When a theme update is released the theme files will\u00a0be overwritten resulting in a total loss of all the modified files.<\/p>\n<p>To display a tag in the head section of your site we can copy the header.php file from the main theme wp-content\\themes\\enfold into the child theme directory wp-content\\themes\\enfold-child and modify the head section.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jasqoq-11-527f3c3d5d18ca59a894e20f4d7a606b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock h-tag'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"LC20lb\">How to install the child theme<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-58xjmtm-10-fd5331d278796f0181c688aa9e393e48 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the different\u00a0ways we can install and activate a child theme on your site.\u00a0Installing a child theme requires you to already have the main Enfold theme running on your site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-58xjmtm-8-9c31a06cc29cf093b831315cb3996946 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>What is required?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-58xjmtm-7-691edbf0f022cbbc1798df5011672ce7 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/themeforest.net\/item\/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme\/4519990?ref=kriesi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enfold parent theme<\/a> should be installed.<\/li>\n<li>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/enfold-child\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enfold child theme<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A valid <a href=\"https:\/\/kriesi.at\/documentation\/enfold\/how-to-install-enfold-theme\/#theme-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Envato Personal token<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5mqy862-12-023b89ea3ed8a9c5322683b4f114fcec\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5mqy862-12-023b89ea3ed8a9c5322683b4f114fcec{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5mqy862-12-023b89ea3ed8a9c5322683b4f114fcec hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-58xjmtm-6-e2cf5f2806a3f3407da5fdaddf24090f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Install a child theme from your WordPress dashboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-210ivwg-9660fb9bf40c5a7930cb215a141fdad7 av-minimal-toggle  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-nqb56o-26fb7e020e5ab14c973f1fb9562f444e'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-1' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-1' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-1' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Step 1: Theme upload option\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Step 1: Theme upload option\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Step 1: Theme upload option\">Step 1: Theme upload option<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-1' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-1' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>First download the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/enfold-child\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child theme<\/a>\u00a0as mentioned earlier.
