Great question and I was just over at themeisle and saw your post and was wondering where I saw your name and thought to myself, didn’t I reply to this person before?:)

Anyways, so about the update thing. I was wondering the same thing when I did it if it would handle an update and just last week an update was ready for ResponsiveBoat and when I updated it, it worked with no issues at least that I noticed. It may very well be a replica, that would make sense since according to WordPress(or Themeilse, don’t recall) that we can not create a child theme from a child theme. At least I can still customize it to my liking by using my files and it still successfully updates. Hope this helps.

@gesini, hmm did you create your child theme locally using MAMP, WAMP or XAMPP then zip it and upload that version to the remote WordPress or your host using WordPress? I got the bulk of it running on my local machine, then zipped it and uploaded it, then added content and images to the remote site. That is really all I did and I have had no issues to date. I never used the pro version, only zerif-lite.

ok, i got it. just had to copy all files from responsiveboat into my child theme minus the new style sheet i created.

Hi I am having the same problem but it is not working. I created a new folder for responsiveboatchild, then created a style sheet like this:
/*
Theme Name: responsiveboatchild
Theme URI: https://www.themeisle.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: Chuck Norris
Author URI: https://www.themeisle.com/
Template: zerif-lite
Version: 0.1
*/
@import url(“../responsiveboat/style.css”);

and it does not work. Anybody know what is missing?
