  I am trying to set up a child theme. I think I have the premium version, so . . . .

  “With the premium version you get the predefined child theme which you can use for your next project which needs some extra customizations of the code”

  But I can’t find it, and I can’t find anything in the documentation that explains where it might be or how to set it up. Perhaps there is something buried in the support forums, but I haven’t found it yet. Can somebody give me a pointer please?

  Many thanks

I think I might have found instructions here, via a Google search: https://theme4press.com/create-wordpress-child-theme/
Is this the blog? I didn’t think of looking in the blog for documentation . . .

I have followed the blog and set up the child. What I wasn’t expecting is that when I activated it, all my site images and settings would go back to defaults! Just about replaced them all now . . . except my widgets have all disappeared, apparently because the widgets are “only compatible with evolve-plus”. Arrrrgh!

Hi. You could have downloaded our child theme and used it. It is right there in your account here. And make sure you are using the latest version of the Widget Box plugin.

Thanks Evgeny. My manually created style.css was nearly right.
I have now installed the child theme files and everything is back up and running again. Many thanks.
