Hello, first of all, wanted to let you know I am a web developer and quite familiar with WordPress. That being said, I want to start and say I am surprised there is no email I can send questions to to get support. That being the case I am writing this on this board.
I am extremely bothered by the fact there are .less files in the Theme, which look like were evidently used on some sort of deployment to create a concatenated style.css file with many different options, and there is no information about this process provided. Basically if I want to change one of the widgets, or customize anything, I’d like to do it via the original css or less. Changing the style.css is a horrible idea. How come there can’t be information provided so we can process the less files as they originally were when we make changes? I feel like the makers of this theme want to restrict people’s ability to make their own changes. For example, the Author box looks horrible in the content panel. To think I can’t take that and make changes easily to it in a less file, which is where the styling is defined is frustrating.
Also want to say it would be nice if there was developer documentation included with this Theme. Also for the record, the main style.css file is 31,000 lines of code and for newspaper 42,000 lines. This is ridiculous and I question the performance immediately of this Theme.
Thanks.
Hi,
I’m sorry to hear these words from you! Please notice that our theme is fully optimized and indeed, our CSS is too large but notice that in the future we are trying to minimize it. At the moment, if you want to make some theme’s customizations, you need to edit the style.css file. The .less CSS code is not recommended to be changed.
Thanks for your understanding!
