Planning to customize your theme? 🎯 Don’t edit the main theme files directly. Use a Child Theme instead!

Here’s why:

✅ Keeps your changes safe during theme updates ✅ Clean separation of custom code and original theme files ✅ Easier to manage, debug, and scale your site

📌 How to set it up:

Create a new folder in /wp-content/themes/

Add a style.css and functions.php file

Import the parent theme styles using @import or wp_enqueue_style

💡 Pro Tip: Use a plugin like “Child Theme Configurator” to do it in 2 clicks!
