Advice for Moving to Child Theme
I have inherited maintenance of a Betheme site which was originated by someone else. They set it up as a Betheme installation, rather than using a child theme. Since then, there has been customization mostly in the form of custom CSS added via the Appearance Customize Screen.
The theme has not been updated in awhile. This was due to not having the sign-on info that was used when the theme was initially purchased. I finally just bought a new license and would like to now update the theme (and switch to the child theme in the process).
Can anyone offer any advice on how to do this with the least pain? I assume I should back up my custom CSS, but what else can I expect will behave differently after I move to the child theme and update?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!

Hello,
You can insert your custom css code in the Theme Options -> Custom CSS & JS -> CSS, in this place it will not get overwritten while updating the theme.
Also, we strongly suggest to use the package with the Child Theme which is bundled with our theme. You can download it straight from the themeforest.
All other tips are just the same as on official wordpress documentation, if you will stick with these rules,then your child theme will not make any problems.
thanks
