Hi there!

You can read about child themes at the WordPress Codex here.

You don’t necessarily have to copy any files, it depends on what you are trying to achieve. For basic CSS customizations you don’t need to copy any thing, just create two new ones:

1. style.css

Paste in this code (modify as necessary):

/*
 Theme Name:   Flat
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/flat/
 Description:  Flat Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     flat
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         flat
 Text Domain:  flat-child
*/

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

2. functions.php

Paste in this code:

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

Then go to Appearance -> Themes and activate your new child theme. You can paste any CSS into your style.css file.

I hope that helps!

Hi there!

Motopress Drag and Drop Editor lets you make customization without typing any code. It is not necessary to purchase this plugin in order to customize your theme.

I would suggest you read about creating a child theme for your site, get that set up, and make the changes using CSS.

If you post a link to your site and explain what changes you want to make we can help you with the correct code to use.

I hope that helps!

Hi there! 🙂

You can change the color of the sidebar link color using this:

.widget a {
  color: #000000;
}

Header Image + Text:

Go to Appearance – > Header and upload the image you want

Make sure you check the box entitled ‘Show header text with your image’.

I hope that helps!

Luke the Daft Duke

Sure!

#sub_banner h1, #sub_banner a {
  color:#COLOR CODE HERE;
}

🙂

Hi,

My guess would be that the header text has been hard-coded into the header.php template file. That would explain why it is not changing when you change it in the Settings menu.

If you go to Appearance -> Editor and look for header.php on the right hand site you might be able to find a snippet of code like this:

<div class="art-object622831433-text">Dana Zarcone Marketing</div>

Changing the text would change the header on your website.

But that’s only a guess as it is hard to tell since it looks like you are using a custom theme.

To create a slideshow you could use a plugin such as MeteorSlides

I hope that helps you out!

Hi there! 🙂

Did you get this sorted or perhaps I’m not understanding correctly.

Your site looks great on multiple screen sizes:

Could you let us know at what screen size you are having the problem?

I hope I can help you out.

Hi there! 🙂

You can make all the changes you want with some simple CSS code.

Can you tell us what theme you are using and then we can make some suggestions.

Depending on your theme you can then either paste this code in the Custom CSS area of your Theme Options page or add it to a child theme.

You can read about child themes here.

I hope that helps!

Hi there! 🙂

The Theater Group looks great!

You can change the color of the ‘Learn More’ button by adding some CSS code.

I recommend you create a child theme so that your changes will be safe when the theme updates.

You can read about child themes here.

Then you can paste the following CSS in your style.css file in your child theme.

.buttonPro {
  background-color: #COLOR CODE HERE;
}

I hope that helps!
