the only file that I see in the editor of the salient child theme is the style.css and functions.php
I need to modify the header.php and footer.php but don't want those to be overridden whenever I update the theme.
Is there a way to do that ? or do I just have to save all those modifications on the side and reapply them whenever a theme update overwrites the php files ?
There might be changes if we add new features . Though the best way would be to inject html using Javascript in the header or footer . That way you wont have to compare the header or footer with each new update.

Hey Again,
Simply use the Child Theme Provided in the Salient Theme Package in the Themeforest Download Section .
Copy paste the header and footer php templates in the Child Theme folder and then upload it .
Also have a look at this Article for more info : https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Thank you that worked !
One quick question though.
If there is any update to the footer or header in a new version of Salient, I won't be able to use it right ?
Should I monitor the update log to see if there is anything there ?
thanks
