    Hi all,
    Being quite new to wordpress , i edited my page on the main files and right now i found out that editing on the main files was not very wise as new updates might lose the information i have edited in my main files. I understand now that to edit the files, i have to create a child theme.

    However, i do not really have much access to the files on the webmaster ( e.g CPanel and etc) and only have access to the WordPress Editor.

    Can i understand that other than creating child themes, are there any other solutions which i can look into? (e.g. Plugins)

    If child theme is the only option, how should i begin with it since my main files are already edited?

    Hope to receive a response.
    Thanks in advance. ??

  • Hello hellobty123,
    You can also customize by using hooks given in main file by creating a plugin and using those hooks in the plugin or in functions.php of the theme. If you want to overwrite you template files of the theme, then child theme is the best solution. And the files in theme you have made changes, check if they can be overwritten by child theme and if possible please overwrite them in child theme so that in future if you update your theme your changes will not affect.
