    Hey Kriesi support,

    I’ve been using Enfold for my company’s site for many years now and for the most part, have had a great experience. I have been considering installing a child theme for some time now and think I am about ready to pull the trigger. I see you have a helpful guide here: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/child-theme/

    But my question is, is there any risk to doing this? Having used an Enfold parent theme for so long, I’m worried that messing with the theme in this way has the potential to break something on our site. Is this possible? If I follow that guide, should everything work out ok?

    Thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it.

    Hey FloppySocks,

    There’s little to no risk in doing so, but first you’ll need to go to Enfold > Import/Export > click on Export Theme Settings File button.
    Then switch to the child theme then go back to Enfold > Import/Export > Upload Theme Settings File (upload the settings you just exported) and that should work just fine.
    In case you notice that there are some things that are different from how it used to look, you can just switch back to the Enfold theme and all is good.
    For extra caution, you may also want to create a staging site (a clone to your site placed in your subdomain) and test it there first so you’re live site won’t be affected, here’s a guide on how to do it: https://themeisle.com/blog/wordpress-staging-site/

    Best regards,
