Hey @kaikyle16,
Are you not using the “Child Theme” for customization?
A child theme inherits all the features and appearance of its parent theme. You can customize it without affecting the parent theme. This allows you to easily update the parent theme without worrying about losing your changes.
If you are not using child theme then check out the below article link:

the sparklestpre lite is a child theme of sparkle store so that does mean that i have to create a child theme for sparklestorelite? and how to put all the customizations already done in the child theme?
You can’t create a child theme for a child theme. WordPress doesn’t work that way – it’s only two levels. As yours is already a child theme, you can’t do that.
What you’d need to do is set up your changes/updates a sa plugin and call them on action hooks or filters if they are available. I have looked at the child theme that you’re using, and it’s very basic. All that it does is add some fonts.. and that’s all. If you are capable of modifying themes, I’d really suggest you create your own child theme and use that instead of the current child theme.
so what you are saying is make a child theme of the parent theme and how to set the changes as a plugin

Yes, creating your own child theme of the main parent theme would let you do what you want to do and not have anything over-written when updates happen.
