Theme update – how to prevent

  • scene: wordpress 6.4.3 – Twenty Twenty-Four theme
    My fear is this:
    I have a site with the default Twenty Twenty-Foure theme.
    At the first update of the theme what problems could I encounter?
    using the twenty-four default Twenty-four theme for a site,
    without adding additional css or html,
    but acting in the changes only with the theme editor,
    making a mixup of the default groups etc etc,
    changing the font settings, margins, heights etc only with the block editor…
    what happens when there will be the next theme update?
    Is using a child-theme or child-plugin in this case advisable or perfectly useless?
    Using a child theme with style.css and functions.php,
    are the changes made to the default theme with its editor “saved” to functions.php?
    Where would the update of the theme mainly go to act?
    What is the best strategy to avoid problems with the update?

    Hi @robye,

    The good news is that any changes you make in the Site Editor (to templtes or global styles) are saved in the database of the site itself and will still remain in place even if the theme is updated. So you’ll get improvements from the updated theme, but also keep all your customizations.

    Thank @jordesign, in fact i think there is an abuse of child themes or plugins when maybe there would be no need for them
