Child Theme
A Child Theme is a WordPress theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, known as the Parent Theme. It allows developers to modify and extend a theme without directly changing its core files, ensuring future updates won’t override customizations. Child Themes are essential for safely customizing themes and are commonly used for design tweaks or adding specific functionalities.
