There are a number of reasons that WordPress developers are starting to use child themes. They give you the opportunity to customize a unique layout on top of another existing theme. This is perfect for beginners who want to play around with building their own themes.
Additionally many premium designs will release new updates over time. If you are making changes to core theme files they will be overwritten when performing an update, but child themes are separate and neatly tucked away. This means you can build off existing premium themes and save loads of time in the process.
In this guide I want to introduce the basic concepts of building a WordPress child theme and why it’s such a good idea.
