    I was shortsighted and customized Enfold extensively without the benefit of a child theme. Now, it’s time to upgrade Enfold on the live site, and I want to create the child theme and ensure that all my customizations are captured safely within before upgrading. Can you give some guidance on that?

    I’m especially concerned with ‘Enfold Theme Options’ which are configured in the wp-admin area – how do these get preserved in such a scenario?

    Hi lightsites!

    I’m not sure what you mean but any settings you have in the theme options will be safe, but any modifications you have made to the core theme files will be overwritten on an update. I would strongly suggest that you move all your customisations to a child theme and make sure it’s working before updating: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/portfolio-item/create-a-child-theme/

    Thank you! I don’t mean to sound like a dope, but just to be crystal clear on how things work:
    If I create the child theme, and there are issues, does simply switching back to the parent spring everything back to exactly the way things were?

    AND while I’m at it: the configurations made in the Enfold Theme Options (quick CSS) – where do they reside? Is there a file on the server where they can be looked at/edited?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey!

    Those options do stay on the server, so there is no way to loose those at all!

    Best regards,

    Thanks Basilis – can you please tell me the file name(s) where these customizations live?

    Hey!

    The theme options are saved in the database. You can find it in the wp_options table, it usually called “avia_options_enfold”. If you want to know where the Quick CSS codes resides, you can find it in the enfold.css file located in wp-content > uploads > dynamic_avia folder.

    Cheers!
