============

[](#child-v102)

WordPress child theme proxy

### What is this?

[](#what-is-this)

This theme imports the `functions.php` and `style.css` of `ABSPATH . "../theme/"`. This allows the child theme to exist beside the WordPress core installation, and using a VCS to track changes in the child theme is much easier.
