Quick question, apologies if this is extremely basic.
If I am only making changes to my enfold theme with the Advanced Layout Editor and General Layout buttons, do I need to install a child theme to prevent changes from happening for future updates? What about if I install widgets? I keep getting confused if a child theme is recommended for these types of changes, or when you are going into the original files and changing code yourself? I’m sorry to be beating a dead horse, I can’t seem to find an answer through searching.
Hey dereklundmark,
Thanks for getting in touch with us!
A Child Theme is needed when changes are being made to the original theme files’ code. If you are simply editing your website using the Advanced Layout Editor and General Layout buttons or any widgets, and so on; then any future update will not override those changes.
