Hi,

I am using a Reboot Child Theme. I carefully read your 5.6 upgrade instructions: do these instructions only apply to users with a custom theme and for me, using a child theme, I have no modifications to do?

Is my understanding correct?

I am using Reboot Child Framework 1.0.2 and Reboot 1.0.4. (which I see you upgraded)

thanks

That's right. Child Themes save you the need to update anything - unless, of course, your child theme includes a template and you would like to take advantage of a new feature. But child themes will inherit everything they do not explicitly change.

Custom themes, on the other hand, are complete and total replacements.
