Themedd – Using a child theme

We strongly recommend using a child theme instead of making modifications directly to Themedd. The child theme will inherit all functionality and styling of Themedd and prevent any of your modifications from being lost. Menus, widgets, customizer settings and much more will all be preserved. 

Tip: Using a child theme can speed up development time. As a bonus, you will learn a lot about WordPress theme development!
