A site owner can manage the user access to such tasks as writing and editing posts, creating Pages, defining links, creating categories, moderating comments, managing plugins,
managing themes, and managing other users, by assigning a specific role to each of the users.

##### User roles

There are five user roles:
Administrator - has complete control over all administrative options and features.
Editor - has access to all posts and pages and can review posts submitted by contributors.
Author - can write and publish their own posts.
Contributor - has no right to publish posts but can write and edit their own blog posts.
Subscriber/Follower - can read and comment on the blog posts and pages.

Tagline - your sites's slogan, or short phrase, or sentence, used to convey the essence of the site and is often funny or eye-catching.
WordPress Address (URL) - the full URL of the directory containing your WordPress core application files (e.g., wp-config.php, wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes). For example, if you installed WordPress into a directory called "blog", then the WordPress address would be http://example.net/blog (where example.net is your domain). If you installed WordPress into your web root, this address will be the root URL http://example.net.
Site Address (URL) - the address you want people to type in their browser to reach your WordPress site. This is the directory where WordPress's main index.php file is installed. The Site address (URL) is identical to the WordPress address (URL) (above) unless you are giving WordPress its own directory.
E-mail Address - the e-mail address to which you want WordPress to send messages regarding the administration and maintenance of your WordPress site. For example, if you allow new users to register as a member of your site (see Membership below), then a notification will be sent through e-mail to this address.

### Child Theme

##### To create child theme

If you don't want to modify the theme files every time you update the theme, you have to create the child theme to modify the php code for this. You can find the tutorial about how to create the child theme here
Our theme wrap every function with if( !function_exists('some_function') ) command, so if you want to use any function, just declare it in the function.php file of the child theme and it'll overwrite the existing one.
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny or extensive changes. By keeping your customization in a child theme you can always keep the parent theme up-to-date without losing your modification.
Unzip it into /wp-content/themes/ folder. There is nothing specific about child theme functioning it works the same as a standard WP child theme. You can find more information here:
Besides the default templates (header.php, footer.php, page templates, etc.), if you want to modify any core functions from ../THEME-NAME/inc/helpers.php, template-hooks.php, etc, copy the entire function which you want to modify to your child themes functions.php and edit it there.
Copy Parent theme setting to Child
When activating a child theme, settings are reverted to default. So if you decide to use a child theme later (after configuring a parent theme), please use Theme options > Import & export to transfer settings.
