      To create a child them in WordPress, do these steps

      1. Create a new folder in the “wp-content/themes” directory and name it as “parent-theme-child”. (You can give any unique name)
      2. Create a new stylesheet (style.css) within the new folder.
      3. In the stylesheet, add the following header information at the top: 
        /*
Theme Name: My Child Theme
Theme URI: https://example.com/my-child-theme/
Description: A child theme of the parent theme
Author: Your Name
Author URI: https://example.com/
Template: parent-theme-folder-name
Version: 1.0.0
*/
      4. (Optional) Create a new functions.php file in the child theme folder to add custom functionality. Add following code to enqueue stylesheet. 
        function my_child_theme_styles()
{
    $parent_style = 'parent-theme-style-handle';
    wp_enqueue_style('my-child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array($parent_style), wp_get_theme()->get('Version'));
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_styles');
      5. Activate the child theme in the WordPress admin area under Appearance > Themes.
