Your theme options (I’m only referring to Appearance > Theme Options) are saved based on the name of the current theme. So, if you were to activate a Child theme with a different name, that will change.
The only way to get around the pain of taking 5-10 mins to reconfigure your theme options page after switching to a Child theme would be to do this:
function my_option_id( $option_id ) { $option_id = 'alyeska'; return $option_id; } add_filter( 'themeblvd_option_id', 'my_option_id' );
(This would go in the bottom of your Child theme’s functions.php)
