Thanks Victor and Andrea

I appreciate the pointer to the child themes documentation - I knew how to do that already but it will usefl to bokmark the official documentation.

The response from Feast Design was:
Hi Craig,

When updating a child theme you will lose customizations to the theme files. We recommend keeping a log of the changes you make so that you can easily add them back in in the event updating your theme is necessary.

Hope that helps!

Which, to my mind, defeats the purpose of having a child theme

Anyways, if that's the way it's done, then that's the way it's done.

thank you for taking the time to reply - I appreciate it.

Hey Victor - thanks for reading and replying.

The scenario was that I need to change the Body font size.

The place to change seems to be in styles.css since there is nothing available in the customizer for font changes.

I thought that if Feast Design release an update, they might release a new styles.css and overwrite my changes.

The do have a section in customizer called "Additional CSS" - I guess all CSS changes should be made there?

Also, sometimes, to get extra functionality, you update functions.php which you normally do in the child theme. Where would you make changes to that in case of a new version of functions.php is released?

If there is some documentation I should have read/be reading right now I'd be VERY happy to be given a push in the right direction.

cheers
