    Hi Hope you are doing well

    A child theme allows you to change minor aspects of your site's appearance while retaining the look and functionality of your theme. To comprehend how child themes function, it is necessary to first comprehend the relationship between parent and child themes.

    As stated in the overview, a child theme inherits the parent theme's look and feel as well as all of its functions, but it can be used to modify any part of the theme. Customizations are thus kept separate from the parent theme's files. Using a child theme allows you to upgrade the parent theme without affecting your site's customizations.

    Themes for children:

    Make your changes portable and replicable.
    Separate customization from parent theme functions;
    Allow parent themes to be updated without wiping out your customizations;
    allow you to benefit from the parent theme's effort and testing;
    save development time by not reinventing the wheel; and
    are an excellent place to begin learning about theme development.

    Thanks

    Regards TheWing.Pk
