If you wish to edit an existing theme, use the Filter Themes button to find the theme you want to edit, then select the Edit button in the theme management section. 

Custom CSS

The Custom CSS feature allows for advanced customization of the template, enabling precise control over its design and layout. This functionality is ideal for implementing unique styles that go beyond the standard customization options.

  • This feature is designed for those familiar with CSS.
  • Any issues or troubleshooting related to custom CSS modifications fall outside the scope of staff support.

IMPORTANT

Editing the CSS is completely optional and should only be done by someone experienced with CSS. If you do not have experience with CSS and you edit the CSS code, this could result in unintended consequences to elements on your site. Cadmium does not support and cannot assist in troubleshooting customizations done to the CSS.
