Question 1

What is a Divi Child Theme?

Accepted Answer

A Divi Child Theme is a WordPress Theme that inherits the functionality and styling of its parent theme, which in our case is Divi. We can use a Divi child theme to customize the design, layout or functionality of our websites without editing the parent (Divi) theme files.

Question 2

What is the difference between a parent theme and a child theme?
