Child Theme

The child theme enables you to customize the theme as you like and update the theme without losing the changes. A child theme ensures that your customizations will not be overwritten even when you update the parent theme. Without a child theme, you need to get a backup from the theme and its files, then replace them in each update. But if you put these codes in the child theme, there is no need to replace the changed files. You can put them in the child theme and update the theme easily. (We always recommend you get a backup).
