Have you ever tried creating wordpress child theme?
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality and styling of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes are the recommended way of modifying an existing theme.
Have you ever tried buying a premium wordpress theme that you like?
You make all the customizations like changing the fonts or colors. Perhaps you bought a 2 column theme and customized it to make it a one column theme.
You spend countless hours or days in the customer support forum or email support of the theme shop where you bought your theme.
They advised you to paste this css code in your theme and so on.
All of this effort of yours comes down to nothing when you update your theme only to find out that after updating your theme, all those customization is lost.
You may not be aware of the term child theme when you are starting out to blog in the wordpress platform.

I bought my first wordpress theme from mythemeshop for $9. It was sold at a discount then with one year of support and update.
I was advised to make a child theme out of the theme I bought. Guides were provided how to do it.
Being a newbie then, with zero knowledge in blogging on the wordpress platform, I was lost.
