    Hi there, thanks for the awesome theme.

    I have a couple of questions:

    1) Does it have update notifications ? I’m asking because i want to customize it by adding custom post types, a couple of custom templates etc. So i wonder if it’s ok to do this directly on the theme or if there is a possibility for those to get overriden by updates so i should do a child theme.

    2) Is it possibly to retrieve custom post types in the home pages featured section and so on ? Can you point me to the file where i should do this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Thanks for using our theme. Answers to your questions are given below.
    1. You should NEVER modify any theme or plugin directly. It is highly recommended to use child theme for modification of parent theme behaviour. Also, for registering CPT, it is recommended to use plugin so that data wont be lost when theme is switched.
    2. Widget WEN_Business_Latest_News_Widget is used for displayed featured posts. You would have to override this widget from child theme so that update of parent theme wont trouble you in future.
