    18 In the current version of WordPress, you shouldn’t modify CSS of any downloaded themes
    19 because if you update the theme, your changes will be destroyed. What you should
    20 instead do is create a child theme and edit the CSS there, this way updates to the
    21 parent theme will be inherited instead of destroy your changes. The problem is that
    22 currently the only way to child theme something is edit files on the filesystem. This
    23 is non-intuitive for shared-hosting sites with one-click WordPress installs (it
    24 usually involves a “shell account” or learning how to use FTP).

    26 This attempts to get around that issue, by adding a button to the themes page to allow
    27 you to child theme the page. (It’s not really one-click, though.)
