 * I’m not a coder and the page you refer to asking me to generate a child theme,
   is not easy to understand for a novice. Would you have a child-theme based on
   the offical UM-Theme, that one could just install?

 * Hello [@manni65929](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manni65929/)
 * There is no universal child theme. A child theme is specific to the parent theme.
   So, the child theme created for the UM-Theme will not work with other themes.
 * Creating a [child theme](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
   is easy – the simplest child theme is just a folder with two files. You also 
   can use specific plugins for generating a child theme, if you dislike to do it
   manually. See plugins available in this category: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/child-theme/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/child-theme/)
