What This Session Is About:<\/h2>\n
\n

Child themes are a simple but powerful way to customize a pre-made theme. Learning how to use them properly means you’ll never risk losing all your modifications when the developer releases a new version and you update the theme. Using easy-to-follow language, I’ll walk you through the steps to set up a child theme and we’ll get started making some tweaks \u2013 from CSS look-and-feel adjustments to more substantial changes in functionality.<\/p>\n

Suitable for those who’ve used pre-made themes or starter themes but haven’t made a child theme yet. Basic PHP knowledge helpful but not necessary.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
