Frank Schlatter saw that! Excellent post, thanks. Have used the Child theme generator plugin in the past and SiteKrafter pre KrafterPro. 🙏

Frank Schlatter Thank you for the link. Can't wait to read it.

That’s a great question! Regarding the consensus on using a child theme with Divi: It’s generally considered best practice to always use one. It ensures that your custom functions and CSS remain intact, even when the parent theme receives an update.

I actually wrote an article about this very topic where I reflect on these benefits in more detail. You can find it here:

I’d love to hear what the rest of the community thinks about this approach!
