WordPress 3.0 has introduced a great new feature, which makes customizing your blog even more easy – the feature is called child-theme. With a child-theme you will be able to edit a theme the way you like, without changing its PHP-files and CSS-files. A child is a theme in itself, which uses the files of a parent theme. This offers quite new possibilities. When you update your theme, all your customized files in the theme folder will be overwritten. This means you will loose the customized view of your blog. Now, why should you update a theme? This may have several reasons. A possible reason is the addition of new features by the author. And: if you chose to use the wordpress standard theme(“twentyeleven”), then all your changes you made to this theme will get lost in case you update your wordpress installation. In this case, a child-theme allows you to keep all the changes you made. However, “twentyeleven” is the only theme that gets affected by a wordpress update.
