 * Hi,
 * I”m trying to create a child theme for Kale so I can keep all of my css styling
   for when Kale updates…and I think I will also need this if I switch to pro? I
   see that the documentation suggests creating a child theme before updating template
   however, What is the code I should be pasting into my **style.css **sheet and
   my **functions.php** sheet? Not sure where to find it, and tried to email support,
   but not sure if I have the right email.
 * Thanks!!

 * Here’s the child functions.php on the theme developer’s github:

 * Try this in your style.css:
 * /*
