But, learning <strong>how to customize WordPress<\/strong> sites can take time, since it has so many features. The Dashboard interface is where the magic happens and we\u2019re going to explain where and how to modify your site. So, follow along and get familiar with the tools included in WordPress. The next time you need to make changes to your Theme, you will already know what to do.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the Customizer<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most useful tools in the WordPress Dashboard is the <b>Customize<\/b> tool. This can be accessed by going to <b>Appearance<\/b> then <b>Customize<\/b> in the navigation menu. It is important to know that the list of options there will differ based on the Theme you are using. But, most will include options for changing your <em>site identity<\/em>, <em>colors<\/em>, <em>menus<\/em>, <em>widgets<\/em>, <em>homepage<\/em>, and <em>CSS<\/em>. Read this guide to familiarize yourself with the WordPress Customizer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/theme-customizer\/\">How to Access &amp; Use the Theme Customizer in WordPress<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Use Widgets<\/h2>\n<p>Widgets are an easy way to add new things to the sides of your website, also known as the sidebars. Add things such as <em>Google maps<\/em>, a <em>calendar<\/em>, <em>audio files<\/em>, <em>images<\/em>, or even <em>text<\/em> with a Widget. Keep in mind that the available widget sections are different on each Theme. So, if you are unable to add a Widget to the area, you may have to try a different Theme. The following guides will help you learn how to work with widgets in your WordPress site.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/finding-and-installing-widgets-in-wordpress\/\">Finding and Installing Widgets in WordPress<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/add-remove-sidbar-widgets\/\">Deactivating Widgets from the Sidebar in WordPress<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/remove-sidebar-links-completely\/\">Removing the Sidebar Links\/Widgets in WordPress<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Modify the Stylesheet in the Theme Editor<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-43498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor-300x139.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor-1024x474.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/theme-editor.png 1223w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a>You can make unlimited changes to the Theme if you know how to code in CSS, PHP, and Javascript (JS). Go to <b>Appearance<\/b> then <b>Theme Editor<\/b> in the Dashboard to access the Theme files. There, you have access to all the files that make up the look of your WordPress site.

Then, you can edit the Child Theme to make changes and leave the original Theme files intact. This is ideal for many situations since Theme updates or changes will not override the changes you made. So, create a child Theme and you can begin making changes to the look of your Theme.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/wp-childtheme-2014\/\">Creating a Child Theme in WordPress<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Change Themes<\/h2>\n<p>If you are having a lot of trouble with the Theme, or it is simply not meeting your expectations you can always choose a different one.
