A WordPress <strong>theme is a comprehensive website design<\/strong> that includes graphics, layout, style, color, scripts, header, footer, and other elements. Another way, a <strong>theme is a pre-designed structure<\/strong> that displays the site&#8217;s appearance on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>A website design is created by combining all <strong>previously discussed theme files<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t confuse a theme with a template, Where the structure of a specific page on the website is influenced by the <strong>template<\/strong>, a <strong>theme<\/strong> regulates the design of your complete site. Also, learn the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/basicwebguide.com\/difference-between-blog-and-website\/\">difference between a website and a blog<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Customize_WordPress_Theme\"><\/span><strong>Why Customize WordPress Theme?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>selection and customization<\/strong> of a WordPress theme depend on the <strong>type of website<\/strong> you are building, like hobby blog, news blog, technology blog, food blog, eCommerce, etc. The<strong> common reason<\/strong> for customizing a theme is the <strong>undesired structure<\/strong> of the purchased or installed themes.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a <strong>free theme<\/strong>, though, tweaking it rather than modifying it from scratch is preferred. If you&#8217;ve paid for a <strong>premium theme<\/strong>, then replacing it isn&#8217;t encouraged or profitable; instead, customizing it is the only option.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, even with a <strong>well-customized theme<\/strong>, the other benefit of customizing a theme is to <strong>make your site stand out<\/strong> among the top-level sites. As previously stated, the theme plays a <strong>crucial role in the overall prosperity<\/strong> of a site and reflects your website&#8217;s overall progress.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that <strong>customizing the WordPress theme<\/strong> will not change or improve the site&#8217;s functionality. The theme solely controls <strong>how your website looks<\/strong> when someone views it. If you want to change the functionality, you should look into adding a plugin instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Customize_WordPress_Theme\"><\/span><strong>How To Customize WordPress Theme?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to <strong>personalize your WordPress theme<\/strong> and to learn how to customize the WordPress theme, keep reading the post to the end.
