    I modified the css via interface. Will this be maintained on the next wp update? Or do I need to create a child theme?

    Hi garrett,
    If you modified the css via our custom css inside our theme options then you are safe on the new updates but it you have changed the file in style.css then all your customisation code will be lost. So you need to create a child theme to be secure from data loss while updating.

    Thank you!

    ok great. Yes I added css via interface’s custom css and that is probably all I need at this point.

    I tried creating a “traditional” child theme and was able to install and activate my interface_child but the site was blank. I tried putting the theme page files in there as well but its still blank when activated. My interface-child contains this:
    .DS_Store
    index.php
    page-template-business.php
    page-template-contact.php
    style.css

    The url to the site in question is
    http://www.gbcreativevt.com

    What files am I missing in the interface-child?

    thanks! Super theme.

    Hi garrett,
    Just view this link.

    You need to export the style.css from the main theme. Then only it will work. Otherwise if you don’t import then i will default to blank.

    Thank you!
