    Under “Appearances” I see I am using the Xstore child theme, and also see separately there is Xstore theme and it has a pending update. If I update the Xstore theme, does that then update my child theme too?

    Hello, @d88dcjj,

    Thank you for contacting us and for using XStore.

    To address your query, updating the XStore parent theme will not directly update your child theme. The child theme is designed to inherit the functionality and styling of the parent theme while allowing you to make customizations without losing them during updates. When you update the XStore parent theme, the child theme will continue to function as it is, inheriting the updated features and fixes from the parent theme. https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-installation/theme-update/

    However, we recommend taking a full backup of your website before proceeding with any updates to ensure your data and customizations are safe. If you have made any modifications directly to the parent theme files, those changes will be overwritten during the update. In such cases, it’s best to transfer those modifications to the child theme before updating.

    If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to let us know.

    Best regards,
    8Theme’s Team
