Overview
A child theme lets you change how a site looks without editing the parent theme directly. Doing that by hand usually means writing code, which stops many site owners from trying. This plugin provides a simple interface for building and managing child themes for Kadence, so beginners and experienced developers can both adjust design details with less friction.
Because your changes live in the child theme, you can update the main theme and keep your personalized settings. The plugin works with the Kadence Theme and Kadence Blocks, and you can build layouts in the Gutenberg editor with less custom CSS. It fits business sites, online stores, blogs and course sites that already use Kadence.
