Hi guys,
maybe a very silly question but: I often read of child theme.
I just installed enfold (a while ago) and started to build the website and thats all. never thought about a child theme.
Whats that?
Do i need that?
And why? Can i still do that at this point? (3 websites running on 3 enfold licences)
Thanks in advance
Auge
Hey Augeundso,
A child theme allows you to add customizations to core element files that you don’t want to lose on your next update.
For example, if you wanted to customize a element like the contact form, and you found a solution that says add some PHP code to your functions.php file, the next time you update you will lose this code. If you don’t need this kind of customization, you will be fine.
If you are not using a child theme you could use the WP Code plugin then add a new snippet, in the top right corner use the PHP snippet as the code type:
and ensure that it is activated, then add your code and save.
You can add a child theme at any time, follow these steps: child theme
