How to update theme without losing customizations
Andressa Lima asked 5 years ago
HEY, so… I have tons of customizations cuz I’m web designer also, and I’m kinda scared to these themes/genesis updates…
I do know I can back up my CSS files but what If you make changes inside of the style.css file? How will I know where to make changes to? e.e I also have some inline CSS I’ve made inside of WordPress (<div class=”” style=”font-size: ; color: ;”>) AND I’ve also changed a bit of the functions.php…
How can I save these changes all the time? Is there a way you create a file indicating WHERE to make changes to, sort of CSS lines (if you are gonna change css files…)

For a style sheet you would load a custom style sheet into the theme file and then call it into the functions php file. Then when ever you update a theme you can just add that custom style sheet to the new theme file.
For php customizations, you would need to keep notes on what you changed and move them over each update.
If you need help updating your current theme file to work with the latest Genesis update, you can send us your URL and login at support@helloyoudesigns.com and we can add the code needed so the customizer works again.
