Forgot about the child

By Jake Adams, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hello, I have only made two additions to the Vantage Premium theme. I set caps for nav bar and changed color of a title. Other than that i have not made any other changes to css. So, i have made a lot of changes to the site. Pages, content, images, HTML text, etc, Im worried that because i forgot to create child theme, will i lose everything if i do that? Thank you.

    Hi Jake

    No content or theme settings will be lost during upgrade or theme updates. If however, you’ve made any changes via Appearance > Editor, those changes will be lost as all theme files get overwritten. In the case of CSS you can use Custom CSS and don’t need a child theme. Here is our tutorial on handling that:
