WordPress child theme allows you change the functionality of the theme without having to edit the original/parent theme template files. If you plan to making any customization, we recommend to create a child theme instead of editing the theme template files. Since the child theme is stored separately, you don't need to redo the changes next time you upgrade the theme.
There's a plugin you can use that will create a child theme from within the WordPress dashboard: http://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-configurator/ or you can download Creatively blank child theme.

If you are migrating from another theme, then upon activating Creatively you may find previously added images display strangely with weird aspect ratios and sizes. Don't worry. It is normal. The image thumbnails are required to be recreated using Creatively's presets.
There is a very easy fix to this issue. Just install Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.

All of our themes include a language file to make translating to a different
language easy. Inside the theme folder /wp-content/themes/themename/languages
,
you'll find a language file named themename.pot
. Or in this
theme file named creatively.pot
Before translating the theme, you'll need to make sure WordPress is setup
correctly with your locale. Open wp-config.php
and modify
the line below.
/**
* WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
*
* Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
* language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
* de_DE.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to "de_DE" to enable German
* language support.
*/
define( 'WPLANG', '' );
