Customization of Themes Problem

  • Hi, I’ve downloaded a theme I’d like to use as a starting point, I’ve decided how I want to alter it, I’ve got my ducks in a row… now if I could just figure out how to edit the template?

    I’m new to WP and am unsure of how to make them editable? The bottom of my theme editor says, “If this file were writable you could edit it.”

    How do I change this?

    Thanks!

  • Open up the style.css of the theme you want to edit in a text editor, make your changes and upload it to your webspace to overwrite the previous version. Try PSPad out if you don’t like notepad.

    Load up your blog, view the source and see if you can spot the sections you want to change, you should find the same sections in the style.css file.

    Try playing with the colours and fonts first, just change one thing at a time and if you don’t like the changes you can change it back.
