Do I need a child theme with Elementor?

Child themes are a great way to customize your Elementor site without having to make any code changes. They’re also a great way to make your Elementor site look more like the website you’re trying to emulate.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re planning on using a child theme with Elementor. First, be aware that Elementor won’t allow you to use custom fonts with a child theme.

Second, be sure to read the Elementor child theme documentation to learn about the different options and features that are available.

PRO TIP: If you plan on making any changes to your site that will require editing code, it is strongly recommended that you use a child theme. This will prevent your customizations from being overwritten when you update the Elementor plugin.

Finally, if you’re looking to create a child theme for a specific purpose, it may be best to consult with an experienced theme developer. A child theme created by someone else might have features that you don’t need or want, or might be incompatible with Elementor.

In that case, it may be best to look for an existing child theme that meets your needs.

All in all, using a child theme with Elementor is a great way to customize your site without having to make any code changes. However, be sure to read the documentation and be aware of the limitations before starting.
