  1. On my side it shows:
    This theme doesn't need a parent theme style.css file for its appearance.
    The configurator has selected "Do not add parent template handling" for the "Parent template handling" option (see step 6, below).
    And in step 6 there is the third one clicked automatically. Can you explain what this means and if I still can change the css?

  2. How do I retain layout/design once I import demo content? I’ve tried export/import aspects from child theme, I’m doing something wrong. I just want the demo pages/content, want to retain header/footer/menu. Thanks

  3. Ferdy! Can you tell me why I don't see the editor in the left menu? Unfortunately this is of no use to me if I don't have the editor in the left menu. Hopefully you can respond to this! Thanks!

  4. Thank you THANK YOU so much. 😭😭 I set up my entire website and was making changes to the code and learned that I needed a child theme to prevent my changes from getting deleted during updates. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know where to start. God bless you man πŸ™πŸ½
