Use a child theme

A child theme keeps your code changes safe when Leedo updates. WordPress loads the child theme first and falls back to Leedo for everything it doesn’t override, so you only change what you need.

1. Install the Leedo child theme zip from the download package the same way as the theme.
2. Activate the child theme. Leedo itself must stay installed.
3. Add your CSS to the child theme’s style.css and your PHP to its functions.php.

Use a child theme if you plan to change even a single line of the theme’s code.

Customizer settings are stored per theme: after switching to the child theme, export them from Leedo and import them in the child. Learn more in the WordPress child themes guide.
