What are Parent and Child Themes?
A WordPress child theme takes the functionality of another theme, named parent theme. It gives you the possibility to customize an existing theme. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can activate the child theme and work within it.
All customizations are stored in the child theme and anything in the child takes priority over the parent. So if the same file exist in both child and parent, the file from the child will control that aspect of the theme.
Working with child themes, your customizations are safeguarded from future upgrades because you only upgrade the parent theme, which you never edit, while the customizations are protected in your child theme which you don’t upgrade.
Why use a Child theme?
Safe Updates. You can easily modify your website using child themes without ever changing the parent theme. When a new version of the parent theme appears, you can safely update it as all your modifications are saved in the child theme.
Easy to Extend. A child theme has a great flexibility. It does not require writing a lot of code. You can modify only those template files and functions that you need.

If you set NO: top and bottom default space will be removed

Create a Backup Schedule
Creating a backup schedule is a must and you should take 1 minute to create one as soon as possible. This will potentially save a lot of headache and time along the road. Create a back up schedule by following these steps:
- Go to Tools > Backup.
- Cilck the Create Backup Schedule button to bring up the options pop-up.
You can set up 2 different backup schedules:
- Full Backup - creates a full back of all your files including the data base.
- Data Base Backup - creates a backup for your data base only.
Because a website doesn't change that much from day to day or even from week to week it is advisable to set up a longer period for the full back up and a shorter one for the data base backup. For example you can set a monthly full backup and a weekly data base backup, but this largely depends on how often your website changes. If you have a news website for example and you post articles every day, you'd want a shorter backup interval.
Each backup type comes with the same options:
Backup Interval - where you select how often do you want to backup your website. The options are: Daily, Weekly and Monthly.
Backup Age Limit - lets you set the age limit of backups in days. After the days pass the backup will be deleted from the server.
Keep the age limit for you backups higher then the backup interval in order to give the system time to make another backup before the old one is deleted. In this way you ensure you have a back up in case of a crash. More over make a habit of downloading a full backup on your computer (once a month).
Make a habit of downloading a full backup on your computer from time to time. If something happens with your server it's possible to lose the backups as well (because they are stored locally on your server).
How to Create a Full Backup and Restore a Previous One
You can create or restore a backup of your website at any time by following the next steps:
- Go to Tools > Backup.
- Cilck the Create Full Backup Now button in order to create a full back on the spot. This might take a minute or two, please be patient.
All the backups made are listed down in the page.
- Restore one of the backups at any given time, by selecting the one you want and clicking the Restore Backup button
