@kboyd@phpc.social ahh child themes are interesting. It's somewhat of a relic before page builder themes where a thing. But they make a ton of sense when you have a traditional theme with normal templates and not a page builders. Being able to update the parent theme and not wipe out the customizations is great.

@bhhaskin@social.bitsofsimplicity.com yeah. I was having an issue where the files were hitting E_ERROR function-already-declared, but that turned out to be my own fault. Now... when i do a live preview of the child template, it's not showing the top nav menu. 🙄

@bhhaskin@social.bitsofsimplicity.com @kboyd@phpc.social My site was built with a child theme at least 10 years ago. It's been working good enough for me, although I admit I don't tweak my site nearly as often as I used to.
