Child themes should be used when direct customizations of the theme files are required. We’ve prepared a child theme that you can use below to help get you started:
To use the child theme:
- Install the parent theme (Politics) but don’t activate it.
- Install and activate the child theme.
- Any direct customizations you make should be done in the child theme.
If updates are made to the parent theme, then the direct customizations you’ve made won’t be overwritten.
