When should you use a child theme for WordPress? It is important to create a <\/span>child theme<\/span><\/a> if you plan to make any custom changes to the code.<\/span><\/p>\n

This way, when the theme is updated, any custom changes to the code will not be overwritten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditionally, when working with WordPress, this has required making a copy of the functions.php and style.css to create the child theme and enqueuing the child theme to the parent theme. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the different file structure in <\/span>Full Site Editing<\/span><\/a>, some adjustments needed to be made for all of the appropriate files to be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, with the creation of the <\/span>Create Block Theme plugin<\/span><\/a> by WordPress.org, creating not only a child theme but a completely custom theme or style variation is easier than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n
