**Recommend:** You should install the Child theme If you want to make changes to the theme's files and functions. Because the Main theme will be updated regularly. This ensures that your theme customizations stay in place after the theme update. If you are not planning to change the core theme files, you are free to skip this section.

A **Child** theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Via **FPT** upload or **WordPress** upload.
