    Are there other options to obtain a child theme? I purchased the Forward Theme with the intention of using a child theme. I downloaded and tried to install the One Click child theme as suggested in the knowledge base. I receive the following message when attempting to install.

    The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

    I want to install the child theme prior to making any customizations or modifications. Is it necessary to install a child theme. In other-words, will any modifications be wiped out if an update in enacted?

    Thanks,

    Dale

    Hi Dale,

    Great question. Whether to use a child theme or not really depends on what you’d like to customize. If you’re making style changes in the WordPress customizer (Appearance > Customize in your dashboard) then you don’t need to use a child theme. Those changes will be preserved between theme updates.

    If you need to modify the files in the theme then a child theme will be the way to go. You can download a sample one at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6160765/Random%20Files/forward-child.zip to get started with. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

    Have a great weekend,
    Bill
