Do I need a child theme if only using custom CSS and a page builder?
1 reply · Started by Emma on February 18, 2017
I'm building my site using a visual page builder so I won't be changing any of the code directly. I'm just using a page builder to add content and customizing the colors etc using the options in the wordpress customizer as well as adding a bit of custom css.
Will I need a child theme?
I'm changing the site quite a lot visually but without actually editing the files directly...
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.
Hi Emma,
Quick answer would be no it doesn't sound like you need a child theme :)
It's only needed if you need to modify the theme's core files. Or might be useful if you have lots of custom CSS.
See more explanation here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
Hope this helps!
