Backing Up Your Website:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to back up your files frequently. Working on backup files ensures that you don\u2019t mess up your original website and can revert to them if need be. You can duplicate your theme and store this backup copy in your Google Drive or Dropbox when you need them. When it comes to editing your theme, it is better to be safe than sorry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to backup your files is to use WordPress plugins. You can find a list of plugins like BlogVault and Jetpack specifically designed to back up your files reliably. To learn more about the different ways of backing up, follow our guide and learn <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/backup-wordpress-website\/\">how to backup WordPress websites<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Setting_Up_File_Permissions\"><\/span>2. Setting Up File Permissions:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress files and directories have specific permissions that determine your access to reading, writing, and modifying them. Naturally, to edit and save your files, you will have to set the file permissions accordingly.<br><br>You can use an FTP client or cPanel file manager to set up your file permissions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Selecting_an_Appropriate_Program\"><\/span>3. Selecting an Appropriate Program:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to use a text editor instead of a word processing program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs while editing your theme. This is to avoid the risk of a word processor adding extra formatting to your text files. These programs can change or convert specific characters, causing your files to break.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, a text editor like Notepad++ will edit files in plain text format and not insert extra codes. You can use other text editors, like Atom, BBEdit, Coda, EditPad, EditPlus, TextPad, pico, and many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Avoiding_Cowboy_Coding\"><\/span>4. Avoiding Cowboy Coding:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cowboy coding is generally considered a software development malpractice where a programmer has complete autonomy over the development process. This can mean that you might end up editing your theme on a live site. Whatever mistake you make, the public will see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you will want to set up your website locally, i.e., on your local hard drive. You can set up your local development environment with tools like DesktopServer, XAMPP, MAMP, and Vagrant. WordPress also lets you <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/setup-wordpress-staging-site\/\">create a staging site<\/a> and edit on it before making the changes live. Such features allow you to edit safely and test changes before applying them to the live site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_Ways_to_Edit_your_WordPress_Theme\"><\/span>Four Ways to Edit your WordPress Theme:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is more than one way to edit a WordPress Theme. Some of the more popular ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>CSS editing<\/li><li>Theme editor<\/li><li>Create a child theme<\/li><li>Page Builders&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get right into it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_CSS_Editing\"><\/span>1. CSS Editing&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is among the most popular web languages. It acts as a partner to HTML. HTML determines the appearance of the website, and CSS is used to style the appearance. This means that if you know how to make tweaks to your CSS, you can play around with layouts, colors, fonts, and more, which is to say you can customize your theme the way you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to make these edits, you will have to access your website\u2019s stylesheet. One of the ways you can edit your CSS is through the WordPress Customizer. What you will have to do:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong>&nbsp; Go to <strong>Appearance &gt; Customize<\/strong>. This should take you to the theme customization screen with a live preview of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Customize-setting-.png\" alt=\"Customize setting\" class=\"wp-image-32025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Customize-setting-.png 686w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Customize-setting--300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Customize-setting--107x60.png 107w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Click on <strong>Additional CSS<\/strong>. You can find this at the bottom of the menu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CSS-option.png\" alt=\"Additional CSS option\" class=\"wp-image-31018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CSS-option.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CSS-option-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CSS-option-113x60.png 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This will take you to a screen with a code input box. Here, any code you write will appear in the preview area unless it has an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Now, you can start working on your CSS elements. But you need to know how to target CSS elements. For selecting a CSS element you need to <strong>right-click<\/strong> the element. Then select the \u2018Inspect\u2019 option. You can also hit the \u201c<strong>Ctrl + Shift + I<\/strong>\u201d to enter the inspect mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspect-the-CSS-elements.png\" alt=\"inspect the CSS elements\" class=\"wp-image-30800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspect-the-CSS-elements.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspect-the-CSS-elements-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspect-the-CSS-elements-128x60.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can paste the following code to change the font size of the body:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>body {<\/li><li>font-size: 1.25rem;<\/li><li>}<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/changing-font-size-using-custom-CSS.png\" alt=\"changing font size using custom CSS\" class=\"wp-image-30790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/changing-font-size-using-custom-CSS.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/changing-font-size-using-custom-CSS-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/changing-font-size-using-custom-CSS-169x60.png 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make whatever changes you want on the site. For that, you need to select the element and add a code to edit it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of adding a red border:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select the element where you want to add the border. Here we will select the \u201c15 Best Fashion Bloggers You Need to Follow.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li><li>Then right-click on it. Select the \u201cInspect\u201d option.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the title is an H1 tag, with the class \u201centry-title.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"233\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspecting-title.png\" alt=\"inspecting title\" class=\"wp-image-30802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspecting-title.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspecting-title-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/inspecting-title-188x60.png 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Now, you can place a red border over the title by adding this code:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>h1.entry-title {\n  border: 1px solid red;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/code-to-add-border-in-title.png\" alt=\"code to add border\" class=\"wp-image-31035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/code-to-add-border-in-title.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/code-to-add-border-in-title-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/code-to-add-border-in-title-181x60.png 181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Take note that the CSS you add is saved in the database to avoid your theme files from getting modified. However, if you switch themes, you will lose your CSS. So, to not lose your progress, you might want to back up your CSS just in case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Theme_Editor_and_Plugin_Editor\"><\/span>2. Theme Editor and Plugin Editor&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Theme Editor is a simple text editor in WordPress that lets you edit your theme files and plugins from the admin area. You can find this at <strong>Appearance &gt; Theme Editor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Theme-editor-option-in-dashboard.png\" alt=\"Theme editor option in dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-30807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Theme-editor-option-in-dashboard.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Theme-editor-option-in-dashboard-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Theme-editor-option-in-dashboard-152x60.png 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things you have to consider right off the bat. This is one of the more risky methods of editing your theme that even WordPress warns you against before you get started. If you enter the wrong code, you might end up being locked out of your website. Any changes you make will also be lost if your theme provides future updates. So before you edit your theme files this way, make sure you know the risks, and ensure that you will not be getting updates. It is also crucial that you have prior coding knowledge for this method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are confident in your skills to use this method, there is a list of currently active files in the theme on the editor\u2019s right side. You can choose the file you want to edit and code away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-Theme-files-option.png\" alt=\"Theme files option\" class=\"wp-image-31011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-Theme-files-option.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-Theme-files-option-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-Theme-files-option-99x60.png 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A second built-in editor that WordPress provides is the Plugin Editor. Like the Theme Editor, it is a simple text editor that lets you precisely edit plugin PHP codes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access this through<strong> Administration Screens &gt; Plugins &gt; Plugin Editor.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"242\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-plugin-editor.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-plugin-editor.png 529w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-plugin-editor-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/select-plugin-editor-131x60.png 131w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the Theme Editor, this is also a risky method of editing your theme. At your discretion, be sure to click on the Update File button to save your changes after you\u2019re done editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/update-plugin-editor-file.png\" alt=\"update plugin editor file\" class=\"wp-image-30810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/update-plugin-editor-file.png 730w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/update-plugin-editor-file-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/update-plugin-editor-file-93x60.png 93w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Create_a_Child_theme\"><\/span>3. Create a Child theme&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a method that will let you edit your theme safely. A child theme is a theme that inherits your parent theme\u2019s appearance and functionality. This means that you will be editing the child theme while preserving your theme&#8217;s look and functionality. While you can mess up your website with one faulty line of code in the parent theme, the child theme allows you to fall back on your original theme in case you mess it up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also not lose your customizations during updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How this works is that when you load your website, WordPress first looks for files in the child theme\u2019s directory, and only if not found will it load files from the parent theme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note is to make sure you call your parent theme\u2019s CSS files within the child theme\u2019s style.css file. This WordPress will not render any CSS styling if it doesn\u2019t find one while looking through your default child theme files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know this, here\u2019s more on<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rarathemes.com\/blog\/wordpress-child-theme\/\"> what a child theme is and how you can create it<\/a>. You can also use the Child Theme Wizard- a free plugin that creates it for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re done, you can start CSS editing your child theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Page_Builders_Frameworks\"><\/span>4.
