Hey guys I’m just getting into coding. Some months ago I made a Wordpress web app using a template .now that I’m getting into coding more, can I edit the template code however I wish or do I need to start all over again?

Also another question, if you start building another web app all over again, how do you carry the data and customer profiles and domain already used and made on the previous site into the new one?Thanks for the help!

  • Hi Dr, Yes you can edit a template. The best way to accomplish this is to review the concept of child themes. Basically you can create a child theme based off of a parent theme. In the child them by modifing only certain items like a header.php file, the rest of the template will be defaulted to the parent theme. Creating themes this way ensures when that parent theme is updated via whatever new protocals are needed at the time, then your child theme is much more likely to stay up to date. Regarding data transfer, there are wordpress.org plugins specifically created for transfer. – bmiskie Sep 04 '22 at 04:15
