Thanks for submitting a question about creating a child theme in WordPress. If you have made extensive modifications to your theme then a theme update will erase them. A child theme will allow you to retain your changes in separate files. First, check to see if the update you're being prompted to perform is a WordPress core update or a theme update. Theme updates are separate from core updates.
