If I decide to use a child theme to change the text on some parts that are in the theme’s code, can I then use the “Customize” option for the theme? I have not managed to do that. If not, what is the best way to migrate to a child theme after changing a lot of the colours with the “Customize” option without losing my changes to the theme?
Using a child theme and the “Customize” option?

The bad news is that, to my knowledge there is no way to move those options across. What I usually do is open the parent theme Customizer in one tab, then in another tab activate the child theme and open the child theme Customizer. I then manually copy each setting across. A mission for sure.
That is a way to do it, I don’t think it will take much time because many things are still stock for me. The only problem is that I did not seem to be able to use the Customizer at all in the child theme. Maybe I am mistaken. I am awaiting DNS-propagation at the moment, and will surely check if I can get it to work!
Thank you for your reply!
All theme options and Customizer functionality should be the same.
This would be a very basic child style.css example:
With the template name and import url being the two that matter.
Let me know if it doesn’t come right.
Works perfectly :)
Super, glad that helped.
