[Easy] Use of child theme

Illdy
1

Hi!

I don’t need major changes in the theme, I just have few customizations mostly in shape, colors, fonts and so on so I was wondering if I really need to use child themes with Illdy.

The customizations are made with the Custom CSS module from Jetpack plugin and few others are made on styles.css from the root theme.

I’m aware that I’m going to lose the changes I made on styles.css when the theme gets updated. However, on account of my simple requirements do I really need to use child themes?

I’m afraid of losing everything I had set up so far.

Taking this opportunity how can I change the color from the responsive menu button of the mobile version of the page (which I believe is gray)?

Thanks

Hi,

We always reccomand to use child theme, better be safe than sorry:)

In order to change the color from the responsive menu button of the mobile version of the page use this
code:

.open-responsive-menu .fa {
    font-size: 22px;
    color: #fff;
}

Feel free to use what colour you want, in my example I used white.

Thank you,

Cristian

Hi,

I made my child theme after I changed many things in .php (in front-page-contact-us.php for example), will I lose every changes when the theme gets updated ?
I should have thought making a child theme before doing anything but I forgot it :frowning:

Thanks for answering,
