Edit / Copy WordPress Themes & CSS

The easiest way to edit and customize your favorite WordPress theme is to simply make a copy of it.

In just 3 simple steps you can have your favorite theme modified with all your new CSS changes.

1) FTP into your site and upload your chosen theme with a different named folder. (Or download your current theme, rename the folderĀ  then upload it again!)

2) Edit the style.css of your new theme folder and change the template name (this is important for switching themes in your admin panel)

3) Activate your new theme in the admin panel and then re-assign your menu’s under Appearance > Menus (If you don’t do this you may have no menu options available in your newly copied theme)

Now make as many modifications as you like to the background images and CSS without worrying about damaging the original template.

This is a great way to make lots of similar templates with different color options and background choices of your preferred template(s)

An optional step is to also create a new screenshot.png and upload it with your newly named template.
