    First of all, almost all of your content comes from the database, which is independent of the theme.

    You must activate the child theme for it to use any changes you make using the Child Theme Configurator. WordPress will use the parent theme by default for anything that it doesn’t find in the child theme, so only the CSS styles that you modify in the child theme will change.

    Any logic that exists in the parent theme will be used like normal.

    If you don’t like your changes, just re-activate the parent theme and it will all go back to normal.

    For more information, read the article on Child Themes in the WordPress Codex

    Thanks. So even if I activate the child theme, an update to the parent theme could wipe out any changes not from the datafeed unless I go in and make the same changes I already made in the parent them again in the child theme?

    The child theme will automatically inherit any changes to the parent theme unless you specifically override theme in the child theme.
