Child Theme

If you edit PHP template files directly, always use a child theme so changes survive updates.

1. Create folder medivox-child in wp-content/themes/.
2. Create style.css inside it:
   

   /*
    Theme Name:  Medivox Child
    Template:    medivox
    Version:     1.0.0
   */

3. Create functions.php that enqueues the parent stylesheet.
4. Activate Medivox Child at Appearance → Themes.

Theme Update

Because Medivox is on WordPress.org, updates appear in your dashboard automatically at Dashboard → Updates. Click Update — your settings and content are never affected.
