- ✓Survive SimpleBasics updates without losing your edits.
- ✓Override any SimpleBasics template file by copying it into the child.
- ✓Add custom hooks, shortcodes, or enqueue your own scripts.
- ✓Roll back to the parent at any time by deactivating the child.

What is a SimpleBasics child theme? +

Will the child theme break when SimpleBasics updates? +
That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. SimpleBasics can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.
