If you’re at all uncertain about this plugin, fear not; it’s easy to use, and you
get the peace of mind that comes with having a – very necessary – child theme. Highly
recommended.

It’s simple and it works. If you have added some CSS in your theme customizer, be
sure to copy that across to the new child theme.

 [kashka23](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kashka23/) 14 februari 2023

Thought it would be an easy fix instead of manually creating a child theme, but 
it didn’t actually copy over the style sheet, so none of my featured images were
showing anymore. When I tried to fix that, my site broke. Maybe it’s good for people
who are more technical than I am, but then you probably wouldn’t need this plugin
to begin with.

Great Catch plugin – does what it says – highly recommend it (used it on two sites
and it was easy to use)
