Once again losing a great theme due to the complicated WordPress theme editor

  • Beautiful theme, but unfortunately they can only be modified by highly professional users
    I don’t know why WordPress makers insist on forcing us to use the new editor in their default theme
    This editor is incomprehensible, very complex, and not easy for the average user to use
    I hope to provide an identical copy of it that can be edited with the classic template editor

    Hi there,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    Can you share what parts specifically that look too complex?

    It’s also relevant to note that the team is consistently working on improving the experience of editing with the Site Editor, so I hope you have a better experience in the future.

    I can add my 2 cents, that as a fresh theme which looks great, as soon as I dived in to manage appearance, I was lost. Nothing was where I expected, nothing worked as expected, and everything behaved in unique and strange manners. I discovered that site logo and icon were an oversight and missing, but aside from that, too much of a change… it needs an instructional just to get started and seems like many many more clicks to make a simple change.

    Additionally, the constant zoom in and out of editing mode and view for theme options is distracting and confusing.
