A thin line between native wordpress bahaviour and 3rd party themes

  • Bear with me as i try to learn WP.

    Lets say we have a 3rd party theme were the route of the request is somehow like this.

    Root theme index.php diverts to a nother php file which decides what page to go next depending on the themes settings.

    then it gets diverted to a master page that handles all kind of pages (posts,pages,archihves) using logic within this file.

    And now Native WordPress comes and says for example that you can just create a category-{slug}.php file and use it.

    It seems to work this way if i put a simple category-{slug}.php in my themes ROOT directory.

    So is this how everything is working in WP? I can make a child theme for my paid theme and go inside and everything that codex says?

    Maybe i am not well understood , but if someone “catches” my thinking , i would appreciate a shed of light.

    I do not believe there is an across-the-board yes/no answer there, but yes…and/or unless you might have a theme that does not work well (or does not work at all) with a Child Theme.
