    Hi everyone! I’m in the middle of modifying Epik, and this thought occurred to me … how do I keep any updates to Epik from over-writing my changes to the Epik theme?

    Can I do something like create a separate functions file “functions-dons.php” within /Epik? And do I need to reference that with an @import or equivalent, or does WordPress magically ‘know’ about it, like it knows about functions.php in the child theme and concatenates the child’s functions with the main theme’s functions?

    Same questions with the css … separate css file that I import? Is this considered ‘best practices’ when modifying a child theme?

    Thanks!

    I don’t know whats considered “best” but yes you could just import a custom css file if you wanted….or you could add your code at the bottom of your css. For the functions file, you could just add your customizations there, since there won’t be much changed…..and anything that is changed can easily be managed since its not a big file.
