Well after activating theme and installing all plugins , please rename the wplms theme folder to your choice in your wp-content/themes folder . Along with that you need to add these lines in your wplms-customizer.php file in wplms custmizer plugin : define('THEME_FULL_NAME','your-chosen-name'); define('VIBE_PATH',get_theme_root().'/your-chosen-name');   then you would need to activate theme again from wp-admin -> themes

1. yes auto updating does not detects if you have renamed theme folder or not coz support for this is not available as we need to run quite some checks before downloading latest theme from themeforest while updating . So you need to manually update your theme and then rename folder again . refer : 2. We do not recommend editing any of core theme files for customizations .Please add all of your code either in your wplms-customizer.php in wplms customizer plugin or in your child theme functions.php file .   3. This issue appears when you switch themes or you have removed or renamed directory name of currently active theme and someone loads any of site's page coz when page was loading wordpress wont be able to identify the currently active theme files and switches theme to wordpress default theme  . . this issue will not appears when you manually update wplms . https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/manually-updating-wplms/

Well both code will work the same . If you rename your theme name then it comes with a cost which is you cannot auto update the theme . you have to manually update it copying all the files from wplms theme folder and replacing your existing file in your renamed theme folder on your server Also for customization we do recommend do them in your child theme or in wplms customizer plugin which never gets any updates .

@eamon Dear friend, If you want to use child theme then you can use it. But there should be available the parent theme also. Child theme is used to modify something in the theme. Let's take an example: If you want to do some modification in header file and you have a header file in the child theme then the header of child theme will override the header file of parent theme. That means when ever you update the theme then you don't need to modify the file again because it will not be erase after the theme update. Child theme never needs the update. For more knowledge about the child theme please refer: https://www.hostinger.in/tutorials/how-to-create-wordpress-child-theme

@eamon Yes you can change the name of the theme. Just add this code in customizer.php file. In this below replace 'your_theme_name' with the theme name of your wish. define('THEME_SHORT_NAME','your_theme_name');define('THEME_FULL_NAME','your_theme_name');define('VIBE_PATH',get_theme_root().'/your_theme_name');

@eamon I have read your question many times that's why i am giving you the code. You can't change the name of the theme directly because it will create the problem in the setup. If you change the name normally then it will show the impact on the theme and then you will ask from us that why this problem is occuring. So to prevent from all these issue follow the code which i was given you in previous messages to rename the theme name.

Hello, rename the main theme only. it has nothing to do with child theme. you could use third-party plugins to create a child theme for the main theme. it is not mandatory to use wplms child theme.
