Hi there,
yesterday I switched to the premium theme and I was wondering, if there is a difference in using a child theme or the built in option “custom css”.
At the moment I dont really want to make any major changes, just some basic CSS changes.
Cheers

    Hi Dave

    Thanks for your support. You only need a child theme if you plan on modifying PHP template files. For CSS, Custom CSS is 100%. Here is our tutorial on that if you’re keen:
