This was the most important step.

What is a child theme?

A child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits the functionality, features, and style of another WordPress theme, the parent theme. You can then customize the child theme without having to make changes to the parent theme.

In principle, the child theme can be completely empty, because it inherits all the features of the parent theme. In most cases this is exactly the case, because usually only small changes or extensions are made.

It is a standard feature of WordPress itself.

The question, what is a Child Theme, I have also already answered much more precisely.

Do I need a Child Theme?

No, a child theme is completely optional. But as soon as you want to make changes to the code of your theme, you need a child theme, otherwise you will lose your changes every time you update your parent theme.

If you are a heavy user, developer or just want to get more out of your WordPress theme, you can’t avoid a child theme.

If you create a child theme from an existing WordPress theme, you can customize it however you like, but if the theme only requires relatively minor changes, you may not need to take this step. Small stylistic adjustments, such as changing fonts, colors, and layouts, can be made using a number of plugins. This allows users to make limited changes to the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) of the website without having to create a child theme.

What’s in it for you?

  • Easy to extend: a child theme built on a powerful theme framework offers great flexibility without you having to write a lot of code. You just need to change the template files and features you want to customize.
  • Safe updates: since you don’t change the parent theme, you can safely update it when a new version is released. All your customizations will be saved in the child theme.
  • Fallback safe: when you create a complete theme, you need to think about all possible scenarios. If you don’t code something in a child theme, the functionality of the parent theme is available to you as a fallback option.

What speaks against it?

  • For minimal changes, a child theme is not worth it.
  • Learning curve: You need to invest time to get familiar with the parent theme, especially if you have chosen a robust framework with custom hooks and filters. However, this disadvantage is only temporary. Once you know the parent theme, you can create custom websites in a fraction of the time.
  • Dependence on the parent theme: the developer of the parent theme may abandon the theme or leave out a feature you need. However, there is a stable company behind reputable theme frameworks like Genesis, and most WordPress themes are open source, so you can continue to use them even if they are discontinued.

I created a beautiful logo for the generator. A man hands over WordPress to a child. Both surrounded by a gear, which is supposed to represent the generator.
