A child theme allows you to make custom changes to Inspiro Lite without affecting the main (parent) theme. This way, your modifications are preserved even when you update the theme.
What Is a Child Theme?
A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all features, design, and functionality from its parent theme (Inspiro Lite). You can use it to safely:
Add or override CSS styles.
Modify template files.
Add custom functions (via functions.php).
Without a child theme, changes you make directly to Inspiro Lite files will be lost after the next update.
Do You Need a Child Theme?
Yes, if you plan to customize Inspiro Lite by editing PHP template files or adding custom functions.
No, if you only plan to adjust design elements (colors, fonts, spacing) through the Customizer or by adding CSS under Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS.
For most users, the Customizer is enough. Use a child theme only if you’re comfortable working with code.
