What is a Child Theme?

A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. It allows you to modify or extend the parent theme without editing its files directly.

This is the recommended way to customize any WPlook theme. When the parent theme receives an update, your customizations in the child theme remain untouched.

Why Use a Child Theme?

• Safe updates — Update the parent theme without losing your custom CSS, templates, or functions.
• Clean separation — Your modifications are kept separate from the original theme code.
• Easy to revert — If something goes wrong, simply deactivate the child theme to restore the original.

Download Your Child Theme

Each WPlook theme comes with a ready-made child theme. To download it:

1. Log in to your account at wplook.com/my-account.
2. Go to the Downloads tab.
3. Download the child theme zip file for your theme.

Install the Child Theme

1. Make sure the parent theme is already installed (but it does not need to be active).
2. Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme.
3. Upload the child theme zip file and click Install Now.
4. Click Activate to enable the child theme.

Important: When updating your theme, always update the parent theme only. Never delete or update the child theme, as this will remove your customizations.
