6. What is a Theme Framework?
A Theme framework is a Theme designed to
be a flexible foundation for quicker
WordPress development, usually serving as a
robust Parent Theme for Child Themes.
Some Theme frameworks can also make
theme development more accessible,
removing the need for programming or
design knowledge with options pages.

7. What Is a Child Theme?
A WordPress child theme is a theme that
inherits the functionality of another theme,
called the parent theme, and allows you to
modify, or add to, the functionality of that
parent theme. [âŠ] That way, when the parent
theme is updated, your modifications are
preserved.
