      Hi,
      I have realised I should have created my site on the child theme as I made some alterations when I was building it.
      If I was to change over to the child theme now how much of the site and setting would I loose?

      The site is http://www.ryyabread.com

      Thanks you

      Sorry, I’m not quite understand. As my understanding, if you change to the child theme, you need to rebuid the menu, and all settings in the OldCar options should be set again, because the child theme as same as a separate new theme.

      Thanks

      Sorry for not being clear.

      When I created my site I changes things in the style.css and functions.php and possible others.

      When I switch to the child theme does it copy what I have already changed in the parent theme or is it like starting again with how the theme was originally put together?

      Thanks

      You can have a try, if your custom style and function doesn’t work, please copy and move all your custom CSS, php functions to the child theme, but the custom codes will not lost, because they are included in the files (Only if you remove the parent theme)
      Do I understand correct?
