Child Theme
A child theme allows you to change small aspects of your site’s appearance yet still preserve your theme’s look and functionality. To understand how child themes work it is first important to understand the relationship between parent and child themes.https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
IMPORTANT! Install the child theme before importing the demo data. Otherwise, all of your theme options will be reset.
A child theme is installed the same way you install a parent theme. Locate the Verks-child.zip
file in the theme package and upload it via the WordPress admin panel. or you can unzip it and upload via FTP (see main theme installation.

In case the demo data installation is stuck, you can manually install it by downloading the demo.zip archive from the theme package and extracting it from your Theme's folder root directory. If the issue persists, please contact your hosting service provider to make sure that your server configuration meets the Theme Requirements.
