I just wanted to know something. I noticed that when I updated the Salient theme, everything I added in the function.php file was deleted. Is there a way to put these lines of code somewhere else to keep them after an update?
It is advisable you use the child theme while making changes to the core files, however, you note that if you modify any PHP, JS or CSS files (other than the style.css) via your Salient child theme you’ll be responsible for keeping them up to date when upgrading to newer Salient versions. For example, if you modify the header.php via your child theme and update Salient – if that file has changed in the current release you could encounter errors on your site if you don’t update your child theme header.php to include the changes.

Thank you a lot :)
