Generic niche websites are designed with WordPress themes. A variety of small business themes are available, as well as themes for photographers and bloggers. It’s up to you to customize the theme after you choose one. Layouts can be tweaked, font sizes can be adjusted, images can be added, etc. In order to create a website that really represents your business and brand, not just one that looks like everyone else’s, some customizations are required. These options may vary significantly from one WordPress theme to another, depending on which theme you choose.
The sidebar may be movable from right to left in some themes, while others may have no sidebar at all.
So now that you know what to do with WordPress themes, let’s see how you can modify them easily without writing any code.
In WordPress 6.2, WordPress introduced full-site editing capabilities. It is difficult to find themes that fully support the new full-site editing feature on the market currently. The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how you can customize your WordPress theme with it. For beginners, we recommend the complete WordPress site builder tool as well as the legacy theme customizer.
Under the Appearance section of the WordPress admin sidebar, you will see the Editor menu if your WordPress theme supports full site editing.
You can launch the full editor by clicking on it.
In this editor, you can write posts and pages just like you do in the WordPress block editor.
Templates can be enhanced by adding blocks. In addition to regular blocks, site-wide blocks can also be used, such as navigation blocks, logo blocks, and post query loops.
Each block has its own settings where you can change colors, typography, and other aspects.
For quick creation of different sections, customize your WordPress theme may also provide additional patterns.
There are several of these available under the Patterns tab.
You can edit different areas of your website by clicking on the template name at the top and choosing a different template to edit.
To view more templates, you can click on ‘Browse all templates’ at the bottom.
This will show you a list of templates available in your theme that you can edit.
Simply click on a template name to open it in the editor.
The template will open in the same block editor.
From here, you can edit it any way you want.
Simply click Save at the top of your theme after you have made the changes you desire by Customize Your WordPress Theme.
A WordPress theme can be customized in many ways using the full site editor.
At the moment, many WordPress themes do not support this brand new feature.
It will use the legacy theme customizer if your WordPress theme does not yet support the full site editor.
When that happens, you can customize your theme by clicking Appearance » Customize.
Theme Customizer will be launched when you click on it.
Left side of your screen displays customization settings, and right side displays a live preview.
Live previews show you where you can edit the website. Editable areas will be marked with a pencil icon.
In addition, clicking on each option will expand it so you can adjust its settings.
There will be different options in the left panel depending on the theme.
However, most themes support the basics, such as your site’s tagline, widgets, homepage settings, and menus.

It depends on the WordPress theme you are using what customization options are available.
