Using Redux Framework

    Am not a beginner; have customised themes using child themes CSS and templates with no problems. I needed a theme with an e-commerce option so I have just purchased a new theme that comes with Redux Framework embedded. I tried to disable this but apparently the theme needs it.

    Not sure why I need to use this to make a few changes in style. I usually use Firebug to pinpoint the selector I need to target, and make my changes. I don’t need to set things up for clients as most of mine don’t do their own maintenance.

    So now this new site has the usual WP Appearance/Customise set-up but also a Theme Options set-up. Do I use both or what? Using custom CSS in the child theme does not seem to work with this theme.
    Some of the selectors I need to target are not in the basic CSS.

    I am using the plugin Child Theme Configurator and am wondering if it conflicts with this theme and Redux.

    So basically I want to know if I should forget how I’ve customised in the past and try to figure out Redux. My sites are mainly small business brochure-type sites and not complicated.

    Thanks

  • Redux Framework is the control panel of which that theme operates. It does things like dynamic typography output and dynamic CSS.

    Redux is a toolkit for devs to get input from their users. To see the capabilities, you may want to look at: https://demo.redux.io.

    But hey, I’m the lead dev for Redux. A little partial here, heh.

    Thanks Dovy – yes I have looked at the Demo already and it seems to have much more stuff in it than the Appearance > Theme Options panel I have. For example the Typography set up looks interesting but I don’t have that.

    I am confused – are you saying that it replaces the WP Appearance > Customization?

    Thanks

    It is a framework that devs use to make panels OR Customization fields. It’s primarily for developers. You shouldn’t have to worry about it. ??
