    Hello,

    I’m working on a site for a few days now and my graphist decided to change the font and wants a new one, not inlcuded in Enfold, Volkhov Google font.
    I’ve see this topic to add one : http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/register-additional-google-fonts-for-theme-options/
    My question is : is it mandatory to create a child theme ? Will the functions.php be overwritten when I update the theme. Cause if I create a child theme, I loose all the configuration I’ve already made so… you see…
    Tx for your quick answer I hope !

    Hi,
    If you intend to mod or change the main theme in any way using a child-theme is needed, yes.
    If you mod or change the main theme they will be lost during an update.

    If you set up a child theme, I believe you are correct that the settings will reset. (it has been a while since I set one up)
    Under import/export though you are able the export theme settings. I’ve never done it myself but I’d expect you can then import the settings to the child theme.

    Any changes you have made in the child-theme functions.php will not be overwritten during an update, same goes for settings once done.

    Hope that helps a little

    Hello,

    Tx ! I’ve tried the export / import parameters and it work almost perfectly. I just had to cut / paste and save again the Quick css section :-)
    Nice day, I hope the new google font integration will be OK :-)
