How to Properly Use Only Blog from Purchased Template

  • I have purchased a theme that I would like to only use the blog from.

    Is it better practice to upload the purchased theme itself and remove all other pages except the blog or create a custom template (with my own desired headers and footers) and copy.paste the files and styles needed for the blog.

    I need custom headers and footers, so should I create a new theme template or just go off of the purchased themes template.

    Which is better practice?

    Thanks!

  • First, the only actual theme support available here at www.ads-software.com is for themes downloaded from here at www.ads-software.com. However, you have not asked for support for your theme. Rather:

    If the theme you have is not at least close to what you want, I would set it aside and do something else.

    Is it [good] practice to…remove all other pages except the blog or create a custom template…

    Pages (content) and templates are not the same thing, and the above applies here just as well. But if you do not happen to use every template within a given theme, there is really nothing to be gained by removing the ones you do not intend to use.

    Thanks, would you happen to know a good direction to point me in regarding removing all the parts of a theme except the blog portion to make it super lightweight and not excessively heavy (with css and template files for stuff I’m not using)?

    No, but here are some easy-to-customize www.ads-software.com themes and some Child Theme configurators:
