Hi Again Mahesh,

I have created a child theme for catch base pro, and I would like to change the default layout to content, primary sidebar.

I would appreciate it very much if you could advise me on how to do this.

Kind regards

Ash

@ash: May be I didn’t quite get what you mean. But as far as I understand what you wanted, you can change the default layout to content, primary sidebar via customizer as you would do in normal theme.
Let me know further

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for your speedy response. (as usual)

It’s the first time I have created a child theme, and I was under the impression that you would loose all changes made in the customizer, should you choose to update the theme in future?

Kind regards

Ash

@ash: The settings in customizer is not affected by the theme update. It retains it current settings. And using if you are customizing the theme using child theme (overriding functions, changing some designs etc) won’t be affected by theme update either. But if you chose to customize in the main theme file, then in each update you’ll lose all your changes. That is why creating child theme is strongly recommended for customization.
Hope you understand.

Regards,
Mahesh
