    Hey folks!

    I´ve been using Lay Theme for a while now...But besides copying and pasting some CSS here and there, snooping around other LayTheme websites with google inspector tool, I´ve never really managed to dig into coding.

    So my question is, what tools should I need for this?

    • FTP like FileZilla?
    • Github account maybe?
    • Code editor like Atom?
    • What more?

    Tips on how do you usually work on Laytheme code would be really nice to hear!

    Cheers,
    Mauro

      Dear @Mauro-A-Santos
      the tools are very simple.

      A good editor. Atom, Visual Studio or Sublime will do.
      And FTP like Filezilla or Cyberduck are recommendable.

      And off we go!

      Github is not important to get started with.

      I would watch 2 or 3 tutorials of how to build a Wordpress Theme from scratch. Maybe even a course at Udemy or Lynda.

      If I work on Laytheme I just use Google Inspector, the CUSTOM CODE section and no tools.
      Sometimes a code editor to backup the code which I wrote. But that is it.

      Best!

      Marius

      I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
      💿 Email me here: 💿
      info@laytheme.com

      Before you post:
      1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
      2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
      3. Disable all Plugins
      4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

      This often solves issues you might run into

      When you post:
      1. Post a link to where the problem is
      2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
      3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
