Theme Editing

[Mirtha Hinrichs]

Iam not sure why you are getting this issue. As in your top image above, all you need to do is to open a Storyline project, go to the Colours option in the Design menu and then right click on the "This Project" colour scheme and the Edit option should appear:

If all else fails, you can always go down to the bottom of the Colours drop-down menu and select "Create New Theme Colours". This should bring up the Theme Colours Editor with your currently selected scheme colours. You can then make the changes that you want and save the theme with a new name.

As far as I am aware, you can't edit one of the built-in themes, but what you can do is to click on one of the built-in themes to bring it into your project and then select "Create New Theme Colours" and the edit window will open up with the theme colours of the built-in theme you just selected. You can then edit them and save them under a new name as one of your custom themes.

There are times when you will need to edit WordPress files, especially if you want to change your WordPress Theme. WordPress features a built-in editor that allows you to edit files online, using any internet browser. You can also edit files copied or stored on your computer, and then upload them to your site using an FTP client.

WordPress contains two built-in editors that allow you to edit theme files directly from your browser. They are called the theme file editor and the plugin file editor.

Please note that, depending on the level of user privileges that you have, you may or may not be able to access these features in the administrative panel of your blog. Please contact your blog or website administrator, to have your privileges adjusted.

Be aware that if the theme you edit is updated, your changes will be overwritten. To better organize your changes and protect them from updates, consider creating a Child Theme in which to keep all your changes.

The built-in WordPress plugin and theme file editors are very basic, allowing you to easily view and edit plugin and theme files on your website. Please note that there are no advanced editor features such as search and replace, line numbers, syntax highlighting, or code completion.

To edit a file using the built-in WordPress plugin and theme editors, the permissions for that file must be set to writable (at least 604). You can change the permissions on files by using an FTP client program, a web-based file manager provided by your host, or from the command-line using SSH (secure shell). Your options depend on the type of access your host offers.

Back up all files before editing. If you make a mistake that causes errors, causes a site crash, creates a blank screen, or blocks access to your WordPress Dashboard, delete the changed file and replace it with a good copy from your backup.

To edit files offline, you can use any of the recommended text editors to create and edit files, and an FTP client to upload them. Make sure to view the results in your browser, to see if the desired changes have taken effect.

Note: It is not recommended to change WordPress core files other than wp-config.php. If you must change anything else, take notes about your changes, and store a copy of these notes in a text file in your WordPress root directory. You should also make a backup copy of your WordPress core files, for future reference and upgrades.

Note: If you use an external editor such as a word-processor to create and edit files, this can corrupt the file you are editing. See text editor in the glossary for a short explanation as to why you should avoid these editors.

You can edit your theme to customize your online store's content, layout, typography, and colors. Each theme provides sections and settings that allow you to change the look and feel of your store without editing any code.

The preview inspector is a new feature of the theme editor. It allows you to navigate to sections and blocks directly from the preview window and find the corresponding settings faster and more intuitively. With the preview inspector, you can reorder, hide, or delete sections and blocks right from your preview window.

When the preview inspector is activated, you can click any outlined element to open the corresponding setting. On a mobile device, when the preview inspector is activated, you can click any element to select the corresponding setting. You can open the bottom sheet to make edits through this selected setting.

While using the preview inspector, you can add sections and blocks to your theme directly from the preview window. On mobile, you can add, duplicate, hide, move, and delete sections by using the edit mode in the bottom sheet.

Double sidebar mode is for wider browser windows and larger screens, and single sidebar mode is for narrower browser windows and smaller screens. The sidebar mode determines where the setting panel displays in the editor.

If you have a screen larger than 1600 pixels wide and your browser window is fully expanded, or your browser window is expanded to at least 1600 pixels wide, then you'll have two sidebars. The left-hand sidebar contains the navigation panel, and the right-hand sidebar contains the setting panel.

Narrower browsers have only one sidebar to conserve space for the theme preview. When you click a section or block to edit it, the setting panel opens over top of your navigation panel in the sidebar.

Your header and footer is shared across all of your online store's pages. For example, if you add a custom Liquid block to the header, then that custom Liquid displays on all your product pages, home page, and any other pages. You can reorder the sections as needed.

When you're viewing a template, you can preview how it looks with any compatible resource in your store. For example, if you're viewing a product template, then you can test it with any product in your store.

When you're working with custom data to build metaobject pages, you can edit your metafields and metaobjects directly inline without having to navigate to the admin to make changes. This works for image, video, color, product, page, collection, and text metafields.

So, we have had a few landing page templates created by HubSpot, but the layout options are extremely restricted. I either have a one column, two column or three column page, I can't differentiate between a full page spread of text and two columns underneath.

As an alternative, my plan was to use one of HubSpot's free themes - and just edit the branding OR if possible, add the global content (our own header and footer) to this theme. I've figured out the navigation menu set up, and added that to the theme I'm working with, but I can't change the colour / font of the navigation menu? Is there a way to do so or is this not possible?

If your stylesheet for the header and footer does not currently use the theme variables it might be easier just to hardcode those values into the stylesheet , then learn about theme setup here and implement later.

I've opened the global content from the landing page theme I'm working in, and am trying to figure out how to edit the font and text colour of the navigation menu tabs. The only options I have on the left editing tab are, changing the logo image or adding to the primary menu field - nothing for editing the text and colour.

My second question is, in the landing page templates Hubspot have created for our company, am I able to edit the number of columns? At the moment whenever I open the templates that include our own branding, I'm restricted with adding or taking away columns and I'm not sure why!

So I've gone into the design manager to edit global content and we do already have the footer set up correctly, all of our links and social icons are all in the right place, but for some reason when I go into the draft landing page I'm working on, the footer does not resemble this? With the header, I was able to edit quite easily, I just had to figure out how to set up the navigation menu and update our themes for fonts and colours, but the footer seems to be more restricted.

With the template I'm working in, I can change the font and colours in the footer but not the layout - even though the design manager footer is laid out correctly? All I really need to do is take out a form that's in the footer!

Thanks for writing in! X/Pro themes utilizes default WordPress menu structure. If you have a test site, you can disable X/Pro themes by activating another theme and re-test this issue to see if it is related to X/Pro themes.

Most probably your issue is related to PHP memory limit or it could be related a plugin conflict. To increase your PHP memory limit, please refer to the following detailed instructions here ( -increasing-php-memory-limit/16935).

To test for a plugin conflict, you will need to disable all of your 3rd party plugins and re-test your issue further. If the issue resolved, you can then activate your plugins one by one to see which plugin causing the issue.

Hello Amir, I have logged in and I can confirm that there is a fatal error in Appearance > Menus. Would you mind providing us the ftp login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info: -...

Hi there, I am currently trialling an editing a shopify theme. As this is my first time editing and purchasing a new theme for my site, I just wanted to double check that my edits in trial mode will sync over once I have bought the theme? I am pretty much ready to publish and use the new theme so want to make sure I haven't lost the work done.

This sounds more like an issue of browser caching than with Omeka. Some browsers are much more aggressive at caching CSS and keeping that cache. As a matter of habit, I generally clear my browser cache whenever I make a change to the CSS files for a theme.
