generatepress theme update
1 reply · Started by david on June 21, 2021
Hi,
I'm using GeneratePress theme, I don't have a child theme and have added functions to functions.php.
Can I use a plugin like My Custom Functions to store my custom functions instead of functions.php
and update to the latest GeneratePress theme without losing functionality? Is there any reason why
I should use a child theme instead of this method.?
Thanks for your help
Hi David,
You should never modify the parent theme's function.php file.
I'm not familiar with My Custom Functions but I'd assume it will work well.
We usually recommend Code Snipets:
