I have a new site with a Wordpress theme (and I failed to find any information about the theme). The theme have all the features I need - forms, sliders, google map widget and others. But I see no tools to change them, except manually editing theme's php files (I've already done child theme). I can do it, but I'm doubt if this is the right way to create sites with Wordpress?
Please give me a hint, what should I do - edit php files, create new menus and content pages (which already are in theme) or maybe something else?
PS: sorry for possible stupid or duplicated question in advance.
I normaly edit the themes by changing the php files.
U can use a plugin for editing your themes. I use this one https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/theme-editor/.
I am new to Wordpress/WooCommerce and PHP, although I have experience in other web platforms and languages.
I have read numerous articles about adding code to WooCommerce and where to place your code, and of course there are many different answers.
It seems that the most common answers are to place you code in the child themes functions file, while others say that you should create your own plug-in and place the code there.
I am leaning toward my own plug-in so that if the theme is updated or changed, the code wont be lost.
Can a hook (created by calling add_action()) and it's associated function be
created in my own plug-in?
Thanks,
Eric
Yes, you can override actions/filters of wordpress or any other plugin via your plugin.
Apart from that, if you use child theme (inheriting parent theme) you do not loose the customization you have made via child theme even when the parent theme is updated.
If the theme is changed all together, there is possibility that your customization may behave different as the actions/hooks can be used differently in themes.
Hope this helps.
Our website is build with Magento by external agency. I recently asked them to create a child theme for us or just a separate CSS file where I could do some changes without effecting the main theme.
They came back with quote of £65 * 8 hours work. I personally think creating a folder and dumping a css file wouldn't take 8 hours but I don't have Magento theme building experience so not sure how to reply back.
Could anyone help me, how to add a separate CSS file or child theme, any help would be highly appreciated.
I am working on a wordpress theme but need to amend some text filed such as place holder texts and some other fields name need to be amended. Unfortunately, I cannot find where they are exists in the theme. Please need help.
Based on your question you are probably not building a theme from scratch therefore I would suggest you follow the instructions for building a child theme and as you make your changes a more detailed question may be pertinent to the message board

What is the right way to create a child theme for LMS theme (http://wedesignthemes.com/themes/lms/)? One of the problems with which I faced is that use own framework. And I don't know correct solution for this
As a solution is an override in child function.php path to the directory, but on an update, it can be an issue because new changes/functional will not be work as should.
Why are you using a framework along with a premium template?
Just use one or the other, and use the simple child theme generator at GPP if you don't know how to create a child theme:
https://graphpaperpress.com/wordpress-child-theme-generator/
Under parent theme select 'I don't see my theme here' and in the box that pops up just type in "lms" (without the quotation marks).
Upload the child theme zip you've created, activate it, and you're good to go. It's important to note that you'll possibly lose the changes you've already made to LMS using the customizer.
If I'm not understanding your question please explain why you require your own custom framework. I don't understand why you'd pay for a premium template, then couple it with your own framework. It's already built on a responsive framework...
