 * Hi,
 * I want to know if it is possible to remove the theme pages in a way that even
   if someone was to update the theme, the parent theme files will not be implemented
   again?
 * At this stage, I have only three template files I want my client to have access
   to and want to be able to make sure that should they update the theme without
   my knowing, the new template files will not be restored?
 * Thank you.

 * Modifications to theme files should be made in a Child Theme – that way they 
   won’t be overwritten when the theme is updated:
