Woodmart ver 7.1

Hi, we are currently on an older version of Woodmart and running it as a child theme. If we update to ver 7.1, it this only update the parent theme or will it also update the child?

Child themes don’t have a ‘version’, it is essentially just a shell. No need to update the child theme.

Hello,

Yes, it is correct. The child theme is never updated even if you update the parent theme.

Kind Regards

Thanks. Just so that I understand correctly, if we are running a Child theme, updating to 7.1 has no effect on our site – correct? If so, is there any benefit of updating to 7.1?

No, it is not correct. Child theme is empty by default and needs only for custom codes to override some functionality from the parent theme. So you need to update the parent theme to get all new features no matter if you have a child theme or not.
