    Do I need a child theme to protect my website from changes when updating the theme? I use code in the theme options area to get the style I want...but could a theme update potentially cause me to lose these changes? Would I need a child theme to make sure the changes aren't lost? I'm attaching a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about.

    Hello,

    You would not lose your dashboard configuration..

    But if there is any source code customization in the theme, that changes will undo..

    Thanks & Regards!
