Buying theme = Child theme

Hi there,

If I buy a theme, I’m looking at Redwood by SoloPine, is this a child theme, or when I make changes, will they be lost when an update comes along? Sorry, new to all this.

Thanks,
Alex

You will get both parent and child theme. I am sure it has child theme included when you download/purchase it. Make sure all your customizations are done using a child theme.

Thanks for your swift reply. Is this the same for most highly rated themes? And how do I know if I’m doing my customizations using the child theme?

#4

Yes, but this theme is only for blog sites.

All your new files and customisations such as CSS, functions and more should be added to your Child folder located in wp-content/themes

Thanks very much for your help

Hello,
At the moment I am looking at themeforest for a fresh copy of the theme Mies. The theme Mies we bought, but it is some time ago. I don’t know what to do.
I want to make a child theme. I have done something wrong previous time. But I am giving it another try. It would also be helpful to actually get a child theme for Mies from you. I expect that is possible since I assume we have paid one time for the theme Mies.
In other words:

  1. I would like to get a fresh copy of Mies, where can I find it or what should I do? (then I can compare the fresh copy with the actual theme we are using now, see if there are changes)
  2. It might be helpful to get a child theme for Mies, too.
    I am relatively new to this, just trying to get somewhere :wink:

Kind regards

It might be good if you can contact the theme author directly about your concern. Thanks

Thank you. Where can I find/contact him or her? I suppose you know that?
