Can I create my own theme?
You can create a theme by clicking on the “Create” tab on the top of the Themes Page. When you click “Create” you will then add all of your theme settings first. Once you add your settings and click "Save Theme," you will then be taken to our custom CSS editor. Here you can edit your css, page template, post template and comment display.
What are the different tabs in the theme editor?
The tab are Info, CSS, Page, Comment, and Post
- Info: This shows the theme name, description, thumbnail, and shared settings.
- CSS: All of your CSS additions or edits can be done here.
- Page: Here is where you can edit the page template. This is where you can add third party analytics code, meta tags, etc.
- Comment: Here is where you can find the template for how comments are displayed.
- Post: This is where the individual post template is. Here you can change how your content is being displayed.
How do I upload an image for my templates (advanced)?
To upload an image, click on the yellow icon next to the Post tab. Here you can upload your image like you would for a post. Once you have it selected, instead of seeing the image, you will see a popup with the image url. You can then cut/paste this into your theme templates.
Can I customize one of the featured themes?
You can do basic customizations by setting themes that are marked Customizable. If you'd like to customize themes that are not marked customizable, you will first need to make your own copy. Once you do, you can then "Edit" it as you see fit.
None of the themes have a “Edit” link on them, what do I do?
In order to customize a theme, you need to have one that belongs to you. You can do this by creating a new theme, or copying an existing one. To copy a theme click on the "Copy" link in the theme information.
Can I share my theme with other users?
You can share your theme with other users, just make sure that the “Share Theme” box is checked when you save the theme. Sharing your theme means that others will be able to copy it.
I don’t want other users to have access to my theme. Can I stop others from using it?
