      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!

        Before you post

        Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

        1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
        2. Disable all Plugins
        3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
        4. Now see if your problem solved itself
        5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
        Troubleshooting

        When you post:
        1. Post a link to where the problem is
        2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

        Thanks!
