[FIXED] How to disable theme updates on WordPress to avoid losing my changes?

Issue

I was trying to modify a template to should use a Child-theme (using WordPress) so, when parent template updates I wont lose my changes. Well, the problem is that I created a template using parts of other templates. I was thinking about set my style and all like that, but maybe I missed some update command and if any parent template will get an update I might lose all my work.

How can I be completely sure to not add any information about updates on my customized template??

Thanks

Solution

Open the style.css file and change the theme name and information that is in the comment at the top. This will essentially turn your theme into a child theme and no updates will affect it.

/*
Theme Name: Your Theme Name
Author: Name
Author URI: Your URL
Description: This theme is...
Version: 1.0
*/
