                          &gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; Not so much the lack of support
                          complaint. More the fact that the theme<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; cannot be child-themed because of
                          an over-use of<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
                          instead of get_template_directory_uri() in a<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; few places. Seems a pity that a
                          nice theme is "spoilt" by this oversight.<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; Given that there is a big push in
                          the support forums to stop people editing<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; themes in favour of using custom
                          css plugins or child themes, should support<br>
                          &gt;&gt;&gt; for child themes be recommended?
                          If not even mandatory?<br>
