Transfer your Theme Settings to a Child Theme. Create a child theme and transfer your settings and CSS codes to your child theme.
You can transfer your settings easily with a plugin: Customizer Export/Import
Install this plugin to your WordPress, then activate it.
After this, you must go to your parent theme and export your settings. To do this, go to customize – export-import
After this, click on export customization settings.
You will get a .dat file to your downloads. You will use this file to transfer the settings to your child’s theme.
The next step is to activate the child theme. After this, go to customize – export-import again, and on the import section, click to upload the .dat file.
All your settings are transferred to your child theme now.
What is WordPress?
WordPress (WP, WordPress.org) is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database with supported HTTPS.
Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes. WordPress was created as a blog-publishing system
but has evolved to support other web content types, including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems (LMS), and online stores.
What is the difference between a WordPress theme and a child theme?
A child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits the functionality, features, and style of another WordPress theme, the parent theme. You can customize the child theme without making changes to the parent theme.
What is the benefit of a child theme?
Faster Development. Using a child theme gives you a platform to make development much faster. Instead of coding everything from scratch, you use the parent as a backbone and make changes as you see fit. Coding an entire WordPress theme can take a great deal of time.
