Here are the steps the speaker is going to take you through:

Create a Child Theme: First, you need to create a child theme. This is done by creating a new folder in your wp-content/themes directory. Name this folder something like "twentytwentyone-child".

Create a style.css File: Inside your new child theme folder, create a new file called "style.css". This file will be used to override the parent theme's styles.

Add a Header Comment: At the top of your style.css file, add a comment with your child theme's name, description, author, and template (the parent theme). This will help you keep track of your child theme and its dependencies.

Enqueue the Child Theme's Stylesheet: In your child theme's functions.php file, add the following code to enqueue your child theme's stylesheet:
Override Parent Theme Styles: Now you can override the parent theme's styles by adding your own CSS rules to your child theme's style.css file. Make sure to use the same CSS selectors as the parent theme to ensure your styles take precedence.

Add Custom Functionality: If you want to add custom functionality to your child theme, you can do so by adding functions to your child theme's functions.php file. This allows you to modify the behavior of your website without affecting the parent theme.

Activate the Child Theme: Finally, go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance > Themes, and activate your child theme. Now your child theme will be used instead of the parent theme, and your custom styles and functionality will be applied.

Remember, always make a backup of your website before making any changes to your theme or files.
