    Sorry, I am really new to WordPress, so I totally made this mistake. Is there a way to switch over to a child theme after I already developed the site so I can retain my changes with future Enfold updates?

    I think there is a way through Enfold that I can transfer styling from the parent theme to the child theme. Which is fine, but I have a few custom custom.css and grid.css and a few other css files that I would need to transfer over. Is that as simple as dragging them to my -child file? Will that work?

    I don’t have edits to my functions.php file. Header and footer are controlled within WordPress (will those be affected?)

    Any instructions or details will help!

    Thanks so much

    Hey Michael!

    See here for our child theme, http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/downloads/.

    Any files of Enfold that you have edited you will need to do those customizations in the child theme. For CSS you can just copy them over to the child theme stylesheet. You may need to use the !important override if they are not being applied. For example..

    a { color: red !important; }

    Cheers!
