child theme

  • Hello guys,

    I have manually put the codes of the tags manager in the child theme and i activated it to not lose the codes when the parent theme updates.

    the question is :

    1/ is the child theme updated at the same time as the parent theme?

    2/ if not, there is no problem if i still work in the child theme even if it wasn’t updated as the parent theme?

  • 1/ is the child theme updated at the same time as the parent theme?

    If you created your own child theme, then it will never be updated — since there’s no one (other than you) creating an update for it.

    If you’re using a publicly distributed child theme of another theme, then that depends on the theme developer in question: there’s no rule to that. The developer may release updates of both the parent and child themes at the same time, but updating one will not automatically update the other (unless you have auto-updates enabled).

    2/ if not, there is no problem if i still work in the child theme even if it wasn’t updated as the parent theme?

    It depends on the parent theme in question, as well as the child theme.

    Normally there shouldn’t be an issue, but it’s possible that something may change in the parent theme that would break the child theme.

    The real solution to avoid all that is to use (or create) a simple plugin to add your tracking code.

    Thankyou @gappiah for your respond.

    actually i prefer to do that manually but to avoid an unexpected issue as you mentioned i’m going to use a plugin.
