Hello Enfold team,
Short question.
When I use a child theme, do I have to update also the files in the child theme when I update the main theme? And if that is necessary, how can I do this best?
Or do the files in the child theme never have to be updated?
Cheers Mike
Hi Mike,
If the changes you made in the child theme for example is just on style.css and functions.php, you won’t need to update the child theme after updating the parent theme. However, if you need to tweak header.php and copied the file from the parent theme to the child theme and tweak it, most of the time you still don’t need to update the child theme, but if the update includes changes on the header (for example a new layout option is added on the header), you would most likely need to update header.php of your child theme otherwise you won’t benefit from the new feature or the header might be messed up. Hope my explanation is clear and helpful :)
Best regards,
Nikko
