custom theme overwritten
Directly editing parent themes causes changes to be lost during updates.
WordPress updates replace theme files entirely.
The correct approach is using a child theme for all customizations. This preserves changes while allowing safe updates.
Version control also helps track and restore custom code.A frequent mistake is making “quick fixes” in parent theme files.
The takeaway is that child themes are essential for maintainable customization.
