Block Themes From Scratch: Part 5 - Child Themes

Child themes are a useful way to tweak things in your theme without modifying the whole theme package. They are especially useful if you are distributing the theme or managing multiple sites that are all based on the same parent theme.

Ok, as you are about the only one speaking of child themes here is my question: If I have a parent site created with a classic theme to get into a WP Block them I should just convert the parent theme to new block and most of child migration will be complete.

It’s even easier than that, actually. As soon as you add a templates/[templatename].html file into your child theme WordPress sees that you want to make a block theme template and enables the site editor for you. From there you can just convert the templates one at a time at your own pace.

...and the child theme was a custom by others. I don't think it will play nice.
