Child theme confusion

    Hey.
    So speaking generally now, many themes support the new and awesome child theme feature.
    However, most themes have their own configuration pages in the admin dashboard.
    Now my question is, when I change settings there, where are these changes and settings made?
    My point is, when I’m using a child theme, can I also use the configurator to apply changes, without them being discarded/overwritten in the process of updating?

    Any ideas or help are welcome!

    They are stored against the current theme (child or parent) in your database.

    If I understand your question correctly, yes. All theme options are stored on a per-theme basis – even when using child themes.
