Before making any custom modifications for WordPress you must create a Child-Theme for the theme you want to modify. A WordPress Child Theme is your doorway to a fully customizable WordPress website.
In this video I show you the simple steps of creating a child theme that can be modified and all the changes you make will NOT be deleted when you upgrade your parent theme.
Let me show you how it’s done.
