    Hi, I have been notified today of a new update for the ‘Virtue’ theme in my WordPress Dashboard.

    However when I click on ‘Themes’ in the Dashboard menu there is only one option available …. that is to update the original theme and not the Child theme… So if I just update the original Theme will the updates appear in the Child theme also ??

    Hi David,

    That’s the idea and huge benefit of Child Themes.
    You update the parent theme and that won’t affect* the child theme.

    * – there are cases where the original theme developers make big changes which make the child theme break.

    I’d suggest to you is to email yourself the child theme to your email.
    That can be done from the two editors.

    or… you can download both Themes before upgrading.

    Another option to reduce your stress would be to setup a test site and do the upgrade there.
    If there are no issues you can update your real site.
    You can use BackupBuddy or Duplicator to make a copy of your site.
