Hi there,
I’m going to be using GeneratePress with Elementor (or Beaver Builder). I don’t plan to write custom code right now. However down the line I’d like to have a customised search box. Whilst my question isn’t strictly confined to GeneratePress, I’d really appreciate if someone in the know could give me some direction.
To wrap my head around child themes I watched this https://www.wpcrafter.com/create-child-theme-wordpress-super-easy/ and read this article https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/ . And I used the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-configurator/ to make it easy for me in order create a child theme.
Question 1: Is it currently still best practice to create a child theme?
Question 2: If I do create that child theme and then activate it, will my page builder (Elementor or BeaverBuilder) automatically make changes to my childtheme? Or, will I indeed first copy all the highlighted files into my child theme? (see screenshot attached)?
Thanks in advance,
Michelle
