5. EDITING WORDPRESS
 The WordPress platform is a magnet for those who want to take matters into their
own hands, who want complete control over their websites and want to be
independent in running them.
 WordPress does make it really easily to completely customize a website. If you have
a bit of knowledge of HTML, CSS and/or PHP, there is nothing you can’t change.
 When trying to make changes to a website, a staggering number of people opt to
edit their theme directly. This means they are changing or adding files in their
current theme’s folder. This creates a number of problems.
 The biggest disadvantage is that any modifications made to the theme in this
way will be lost once the theme is updated by the developer. As a consequence,
users either won’t be able to keep their theme up to date (which is bad for security)
or will find all of their customizations gone when they do.

6. CHILD THEME
When talking about child
themes, we first have to talk
about parent themes. A
theme only becomes a
parent theme when
someone builds a child
theme for it. The big
difference is that a child
theme depends
completely on its parent
in order to work. Without
its parent theme present, it
will not do a thing and
cannot even be activated.
