    “Child Themes are used to avoid overwriting your customizations. But if you preserve a file in a child theme, then you maybe preserve a security risk. After an update from the parent theme you always should check the changes and maybe add them to your child theme. This plugin helps you keeping track of these changes in the parent theme.”
    I could use the Child Theme Check plugin to solve the problem (that where the citations are from).
    Unfortunately: “For full usage of the plugin your parent theme has to define the version of the template file in the header of the PHP file with an additional @version info. For example: @version 1.0.0”

    “Please spread the word and if you are a theme developer, please add this to your themes too!”
    So here I am spreading the word ??
    Or are there any other possibilities with Tiny Framework concerning this issue?

    Thx
